So **** it, Lakers in 7. Not that I should get much credit for my predicting skills either way. Lol.</div> C'mon now let's not root as passively as our team is playing or the fans in STAPLES is cheering....we cheer and believe in this forum because in here are the real Laker fans.
As happy as I am, this series is far from over. The Lakers almost came back in Boston after being down by 20+ points in the fourth, now the Celtics come back in the Staples after being down by 24 at one point in the game. I know the Celtics are 1 win away, but nothing is over until we see a team win 4 games.

Just Laker fans! You know full well what that means.
I really, really want to be optimistic, I do. But is there a point? We choked on a huge lead, at home. We now have to win 3 straight, including 2 in Boston. So, I'll keep with my team, but this is not looking good.

If being in Boston in 2004 taught me anything, its that a series isn't over until a team has won four games. That being said, I think game five is close and Lakers aren't going to win game six, if there is one.
SHIP GASOL'S ASS OUT! I officially HATE Gasol. Try and get Elton Brand for Gasol in the offseason. We need someone who rebounds and plays post defense. I am SOOOOOO pissed right now....thank God school is over b/c I'd have to hear it from EVERYBODY.

It's going to take Jesus Christ to win this thing... hmm... </div> Yea, it's going to take a god forsaken fucking miracle to win this. The Lakers need to stay confident though. If they can win game 5 and get back to Boston, I think there's still a chance. Kobe just needs to be in attack mode from the get-go. He can't go 6/19 again. And from the looks of it, having a bench would have helped too.

No, we didn't lose b/c of Gasol. It's just that it pisses me off to see a guy as big as he is, and as skilled as he is, play crappy. How the hell can you be 7' tall and can't rebound over Ray Allen and Eddie House? If we had Elton Brand, imagine him w/ Bynum. That's a TRUE twin towers effect, two legit tough guys, no sissies.
