Celtics have gotten it done when it matters, but they've also lost games they had no business losing. Lakers have beatin 3 good teams to get to where they are, and had their way with all three teams more or less. Not only are the Lakers better, but they haven't played 2 seven game series and than a 6 game one, so the Lakers will be the better rested team. I just don't see how Boston can stop Kobe, and if they double team, Odom, Gasol, Fisher, will burn them all night. And even if they do play him man up, like RP said, who guards Odom? Perkins isn't quick enough, PJ Brown is to old, Garnett will have to play Gasol. Odom should be able to have his way in this series. It's good to see Lakers/Celtics and it will be even better to see Lakers take it in 6. Also, the 2, 3 , 2 format is retarded.

no question the west was tougher then the east this year, and the Celtics beat the Spurs twice, we really don't have much else to use as a judge, so yes the Celtics would have beat the spurs. The Lakers match-up is more "fun" but the Spurs would have been much better for the Celtics.

it should be a good series, I don't see the Lakers taking 6 or 7 in Boston, so if it goes past 5, I like Bostons odds.

oh, the reason they claim they do 2, 3, 2 is due to traveling from coast to coast. I prefere 2-2-1-1-1 myself.

I'll give you the Spurs, but Celtics arent better then the Jazz. I thought the Jazz had a fantastic team this year. Just ran into a better team, which wasnt hard, because the only 2 teams i thought were better then the Jazz this year, all things considered ( not just records ), were the Lakers and Hornets.
