again but I'm not so sure.........I think the Lakers win it but Boston is playing very well at the right time.........
But ever game LA goes longer than Boston in ending their respective conference final I think the advantage shifts toward Boston. The Lakers are stroking on all cylinders right now, but they are also doing it again practice cones wearing Suns jerseys. If both sweep conference finals and have a week to rest and let blackboard material and tention build up it could be a very enjoyable finals to watch.
in six games. With the way Rondo has played this postseason the Celtics have taken their game to the next level butI think it all depends on how Gausol, Odom, and Bynum play because the Celtics could possibly have a tough time matching up with all of that size. This will be the last hoorah for Pierce, KG, and Ray Allen.
I really think Orlando will win Games 3, 5, 6, and 7 against Boston. They were shell shocked in Game 1 and woke up in the 4th qtr. Game 2 was very competitive. Magic are a good road team (25-16) and Boston was worse at home (23-17) than away (27-15) this season. Orlando will win the championship in 6 vs the Lakers.
Kobe Bryant is a difference maker. He will make Allen look65 years old. Paul Pierce is the one the Lakers generally have trouble with but that was before they got Artest. I could see the Lakers also putting Kobe on Rondo at times since he did such a good job on Westbrook for OKC.
His offense wasn't anything special but his play on defense and his surprising ability to snatch a rebound late in the game sealed it I thought. I'll agree with you that Rondo was the difference.
