Celtics home court. Lakers the better team with an absurd coaching edge. Lakers in 6.

Going solely off of my personal reading of this board

Rondo >>>>> Kobe

Powe >>>> Gasol

Ship the rigged finals. Anyway, I'm super, super excited. Lakers are slightly better and Kobe is basketball jesus, but the Lakeshow won't be able to overcome the fix or the C's home court advantage. C's in 7.

Lakers in 6, man I think. Could be Celts in 7. Should be a great series, hope the refs stay out of it.

lol, nice timing with the thread.

Lakers in 6, but obviously I hope the celts torch them.

Oh wells, it is a nice matchup market-wise and should hopefully be entertaining.

Detroit plays so rough, so physical, I got to believe the Celts are not going to have as much trouble with LA as everyone thinks.

I've never felt 2-3-2 was a disadvantage to the home team at all.

Lakers in 6.

Two best teams in the league. Best offense vs Best defense. Should be a very exciting and awesome series. So pumped up about it. Finals should get HUGE ratings.

232 is a disadvantage to the home team if they split the first two games. If that happens the other team can win their 3 home games and win the series 4-1 and have played more home games than the team with the home court advantage.

even if both teams hold serve, then its 3-2 and the team with the home court advantage is forced to win two straight elimination games.

Phil Jackson is going to play some Jedi Mind Tricks and convince Doc to play Cassell.

Note: Posey is solid, he should get more playing time for sure.

Line on whether Doc keeps throwing out ******ed rotations and sitting his best players at bizarre times?

- 250?

Yea, the Celtics much tougher competition in the playoffs gives them a clear edge in this series.

I hope it goes 7 though, should be an awesome finals.
