Lets wait and see that LAL and Boston make it to finals, they should and it will be a great matchup. It will not be easy for Boston and they will not walk all over the Lakers, like said above LA is a different team and they will have home court.
Rasheed & Kevin are going to hammer Bynum and Gasol. Once Sheed and Garnett put the strangle hold on Gasol the Lakers will become one dimensional. Kobe will always be Kobe. Rondo will trash Fisher. Pierce on Kobe and Artest will be chasing Ray all night.
I cant wait.
That's what the "experts" said when Fish was going up against Westbrook, D. Will and now Nash. Like clutch said, Lakers are a completely different team than in '08. Gasol and Kobe are playing much better together now than before and Artest will be more physical on Pierce or Allen. Lakers will get their revenge from '08 and beat the C's in 6. Cookie #5 for Kobe! :mj06:
King is just a Laker Hater so hard to take his post with any truth, wait and see if they both get to finals, love to see LA/Boston again.
I don't like either team but I think Boston takes it. Boston is way too physical inside and that pretty much takes Gasol and Odom out of the equation. For some reason Pierce plays D on Kobe as well as anyone(IMO).
I think the key to the series is Rondo. Yeah the Lakers have Ron now but he's not that much better than Ariza where as Rondo is night and day better than he was 2 years ago. I think you see Kobe trying to stop him which won't work at his age. If the Lakers try to use Fisher on Rondo they're in big trouble. Westbrook tore Fish up and I expect Rondo to do more of the same. Celts will dominate the boards because both of their two big are more physical than the Lakers.
I love Gasol and like watching him play in the post more than anyone in the league but he's always played poorly when there are other big men that can move and play rough vs him.
Lakers really need Kobe to have a gigantic series if they want to win but even at that I don't know if it's enough.
Celts + the money is the only bet IMO.
Layinwood thanks for reiterating everything I said above. I guess since I am new poster detractors find it easier to call me the hater instead of stating the facts.
LOL, it has nothing to do with being new. Trust me, when I post an opinion I walk away with my head tucked and hands over the top waiting for the rocks to be thrown. It's what makes this place fun.
Did you get the 2.1 release? I got it, like it and have no problems except my contacts are screwed up with the links to Facebook.
