can the Lakers sweep 3 at home?
 

nope - series is over whether it goes 5,6 or 7 games

I hope they can :) but I heard last night 90% of teams that go down 2 lose :(

boston is looking good but i do think this will still be a series

The Celtics are going to win this one...

LOL the Celtics are proving why they had the best record and the best Defense !

there was ALOT of talk like the Lakers had this series no problem ! anyone who knows
ball knew that was Bullshit.....the Celtics DOMINATED LA yesterday and then fell asleep at the wheel up 20+ points

as they go along they are getting more confident and the defense will get tougher for the Lakers.


can't believe soo many people doubted a team that has the best Defensive player in the game ....a scoring leader in Pierce and the games purest shooter in Allen.

Gonna be a great next few games in LA
what a time of year ! :thumbsup

Short answer: fuck no! :)

Lakers will win game 3
Celtics will win game 4
Laker will win game 5
Celtics will win game 6, series over

Lakers will take the next 4 games, Boston sucks donkey dick, fuck the celtics

A very mature response. :1orglaugh

I really wish....

But from what I have seen... No.

Yes, hopefully! and the series is over! :winkwink:

series is over in 5 games

Kobe is a joke. I was thinking six, but it might end in 4 or 5.

The celtics are horrible on the road, lakers will get back in the series.

maybe, i'd like to see it come down to the wire.. to game 7

they have to sweep all 3 in LA to get back in the series - with the final 2 games in Boston winning 2 games in LA will be meaningless

Now I don't feel so bad for my Cavs. Looks like they are doing the same exact thing to the Lakers. But my Cavs took it to 7, so I'm a little proud of my boys.

But still, I want the Lakers to win. And if they don't, they still have Andrew paying next year too. They'll be tough for many more years. Let's hope they take 3 at home.

Yeah, what a joke. That whole MVP thing, all defensive team, three championships, 81 points in a game, 10+ straight of 40 or more points..etc..etc..etc. What a piece of shit. :helpme

The Lakers will win the next 3 for the simple reason that the Lakers and Kobe in particular will get more calls in LA. The reason the home court is such an advantage in the NBA is the refs let the fans influence their decisions. Being originally from Portland and a huge Blazer fan I'm not a Kobe supporter by any means but he got absolutely raped in Boston. At the end of three last night the free throw attempts were 26-4. Announcers play the company line and claim its all about Boston being aggressive. Bullshit. Its about Paul Pierce and KG getting the ticky tacky calls at home and Kobe driving the lane and getting held on every possession but the officials swallowing their whistles.

It was like that in the LA/Utah series. Kobe didnt shoot many free throws in Utah, but in LA it was a different story. Kobe will shoot 15-25 free throws a game in LA. The fans will be in it and then for the next week all Celtic fans will be bitching that Paul Pierce and KG are getting screwed on calls (which they will be). I'm not even including Ray Allen because he doesnt even show up in big games so he probably wont be a factor.

Then it will be back to Boston for game 6 and the Celtics will get the calls and Kobe will get his 4-10 FT's again. But it's all about his agressiveness. lol Like the MVP of the league all of a sudden loses his aggressiveness in the NBA finals because he is wearing his purple jersey. It's a joke.

Also, not to be a conspiracy theorist but the rating are up 40% over last year, you think the NBA wants this series over in 4 or 5. NO WAY!! The Lakers are tough at home, everyone knows this, the league knows this, the refs know this. If Boston didnt win both at home this one would be over in 4 or 5. The league cant have that. They need to milk the tit while they can. This one is going 7. Just saying.

i predict kobe gets to the line 20+ times tonight and they'll win by 8-10 points. as for the series boston is going to close them out in 6.

They can win 3 at home. Won't be easy but when it happens all the media will jump back on the Laker bandwagon.
