i don't think spurs will trade their big three even that ginobli preformed like ...... in the playoffs vs lakers but ok. but ok i hope that celtics wins KG deserves it
wow Celtics vs Lakers again xD 21 long years man, but i disagree with many people here, maybe we might defeat LA within 4-5 games if it was before the Pau Gasol trade, but now they acquired Pau, totally different story, that guy is good, Lamar Odom, pshhh that guy has no sportmanship at all, lost to the celtics in early of the year by like 20 and then that flagrant foul on Allen. I think Kobe and Pau is gonna be a problem, i mean back then we could just simply double team kobe, but that just leaves Gasol =/ o well, GO CELTICS
pau / kobe / odom aren't the only ones on lakers. a good part of lakers success is the growth of radmanovic, walton, farmar, and turiaf. walton and radmanovic really opens up the lane for the triangle offense w/ their passing and 3pters, while farmar/turiaf are key defenders to give fisher/odom/pau some rests fisher has also been guarding a.i., deron williams, and parker.. he deserves all the credit in the world for laker's defense anyways, if you look @ the matchups, the big "3" wise, kobe > ray, pau > perkins, kg > odom 2-1 favor lakers, but i believe perkins/ray contributes more then what the "match ups" looks like stats-wise, that's why celtics stand a good of a chance w/ home court cepally as the pervious rounds.
i think boston is gonna lose. based on the games they played (for instance, cavaliers), they dont stand a chance against the lakers. they had trouble while playing wit the cavs and dealing wit lebron james. And lakers.........they gonna have alot fo trouble dealing wit kobe especially since kobe is....... .well.......kobe. he's much more experience than LJ and he's a much better player than LJ. the lakers also have other players that could basically wash the boston not to mention (i hate to admit it) they washed spurs 4-1 (i expected the spurs could last until game 7). but i want the boston to win just because the lakers destroy the spurs. but this is jsut my thought. im sure there's full of surprises.
why would u match perkins -.-;... ur forgetting "The Truth" in that equation... that will be a potential problem... the other problem is, there's no way Pau can guard KG by himself... it's painfully apparent since he couldn't stop Duncan either...
how much i despite lakers i think lakers really will win this year because they begin strong in the playoffs and kobe is playing a steady game.
ur right, hahaha pp should be in there, but im just matching position wise, pp > uhh whoever is in his position haha
i do think you give to less credit to the other guy from celtics.... They have paul pierce and he owns the court vs Radmanovic. so you have only tell the big three of lakers and not even include Paul pierce. + @ the guards position their is fisher vs rondo what is i think equaly with each other
i think you forget @ the lakers vs spurs game Ginobli didn't really contribut as much as he normally does. But then if Ginobli did i think that would be another story
its lakers fans vs everyone else! celtics FTW! and if lakers are going to make it to finals again next year i hope boston whoops their ass again =P
since the series is pretty much up in the air...i added a poll to the thread... vote for which team you think/want to win the championship!
