So who do we want to see playing against the Lakers in the finals?? I suspect that the "traditional" Laker vs. Celtics would be the winner, but what do you all think??

It's gotta be the Celtics against the MIGHTY LA LAKERS!!!! That would be the mhighest rated NBA finals in a very long time!

Damn the Lakers look great don't they!?!?! This has been a really great payoff run for the NBA with so many good teams. I'm lovin every minute of it!

You mean to tell me that the NBA finals are already here? I wasn't paying attention. Pro Basketball in this great city of Pittsburgh is about as popular as pro soccer, professional darts and bowling! It's all about football and hockey here...and Nascar (not for me, but for some). Enjoy, though!

With all the good sports franchises here in LA (ie. Dodgers, Angels, Kings, and Ducks)..... This town IMHO is a basketball town. The Lakers are so much fun to watch again.... Reminds of the showtime era of the 80's...... except without those hideous "dove" style basketball shorts! (what were they thinking!)

btw......... we need a football team dammit!

I am a huge Celtic's fan... They however will get killed by the Laker's...

The team has too many big Ego's and Rondo looks like a deer in the headlights... Perkins is average at best and Cassell hasn't lost a step... He has lost 3 steps... Pierce, Allen and Garnett can't cover everyone...

I went to college with Lamar Odom and he is a good player... Semi retarded but a good player...

And Kobe is just Kobe... Sick!!!

I wish the best for my Celt's but I would be very surprised (if they even get there) that they will beat the Laker's in a best of 7

Yes we in BABY....i didnt expect to see the lakers this soon in the finals!!!

I want the Celtics and the lakers

Reasons:
Celtics cant win on the road!
Celtics have played 2-back2back 7 game series...and a possible 3rd (more likely)
which means they are going to be tired as hell and lakers are going to dominate
Celtics have lost their rythim from the great season they had...they just ran out of gas...

Lakers FTW!

Since we don't have a football team here in LA, and you don't have a basketball team there in Pittsburgh.....


We'll trade you our LA Clippers for your Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pistons are too banged up to beat boston now. If they had Hamilton and Billups totaly heathly, I thought the Pistons would beat the Celtics. However, I always hoped Boston would get to the finals for the Lakers. The Lakers have won the last two time they met in the finals so a third one will make quite happy. The Lakers still haven't put a whole game together, just imagine if they do. Lamar needs to get his act back together. Gasol needs to be more agressive with his offense. Vujacic needs to get more consistent. Radmanovic needs to hit his shots all game long. On the plus side, Fisher is staying out of foul trouble, Walton seems to be finding his game again, Farmar is playing much better and Ariza can start getting some minutes... oh, and there's Kobe. Any doubt about his MVP now? On the defensive side, I was surprised at how poorly Gasol was playing Duncan. I really thought that would be a favorable matchup. It makes me wonder about his ability to cover Garnett. I love how Vujacic plays D. They can always use that kind of energy. I wonder if they will put Kobe on Pierce or if they keep him at guard and plays Allen. Also, I am not sure how Lamar will play Perkins. I don't see him playing Garnett, but he might. I think if the Lakers play Garnett and Pierce well, the rest of the Celtics don't matter. This should be fun!
