Buftex Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I realize there are a lot of people who post here that loathe the NBA...but I am not one of them...post your thoughts in this thread, about the NBA finals....Celtics/Lakers if you hadn't heard! I will make the first prediction...after hearing twelve different "experts" chime in on radio and tv the last couple of days, it seems like the prevailing logic is that the Cletics, even with their home court advantage, have "no chance" of beating Kobe, Phil and their Lakers. Of the 12 I heard, only Tim Legler picked Boston to win. Kobe is being compared to Jordan, and the senitiment seems to be, the Celtics may have the "better team", but the Lakers have the best player...they should win in 6 or 7! Bollocks I hope! I am saying the Celtcis win it in 7 games.... they will take games 1,2, 5, and 7. Paul Pierce finally gets recognized as a great player, not just a very good player! And the conspiracy theorists will have a field day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveRalph Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Kobe (best 1-v-1 defender in the game, IMO) locks down Pierce Odom/Gasol > KG/Perkins Fisher > Rondo Bryant averages 34, 6, 5 Celtics will be amped and they play tough in front of the Boston crowd...But.... Lakers in 6, I don't think Celtics can score enough consistently to keep up with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I am pulling for the Lakers because I hate everything Boston Agreed. i hate the lakers equally, but bostonfan is currently the most obnoxious prick on the face of the planet, especially bill simmons.

buckeyemike Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Lakers in 5. And I won't watch a minute of it. The Stanley Cup Playoffs are so much better...makes me wish Cleveland had an NHL team instead of an NBA team, the presence of Lebron notwithstanding.

VOR Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Lakers in 5. The only advantage the Celtics have is home court, but that won't be enough. And I hate both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Since either Kobe or the Boston fans will lose, I'm looking at myself as half full. And I was thinking that since one of those bags of douche(s) is bound to win, I wouldn't be watching a single minute of it. And congrats on the nuptials!

A great playoff hockey series is tough to beat, for any sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Celtics in 7...but I am pulling for the Lakers because I hate everything Boston I hate every other Boston team as well, but my love of Celtics pre-dates the Patriots and Red Sox and Bruins relevance! Back to the days when the chowds were just likeable losers, with nothing to be proud of, but the Celtics...the only things I like out of Boston are the Celtics, and the Modern Lovers.
