    I was disappointed that they didn't go to Gasol in the second half that much, he was having a killer game.

    Yea, we're aware. Should I throw out that no team in NBA history has ever won an NBA title when having their first two series go to 7 games?

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>While only three teams have ever come back from being down 0-2 in the Finals, no team, let me repeat, NO TEAM, has ever gone to seven games twice before the Finals and won the Finals</div>

    a lot of this has to do with first round format changing to 7 games only a few years back............


    edit

    but as far as the question is concerned?..............no I can't even lie, I just think the celtics are a better defensive and rebounding team.....

    We just have to take these games one game at a time. Coming back home, I'm pretty sure we won't get screwed by the refs as badly as we did in Boston. And I'm also pretty sure having the home crowd behind us will motivate our players to play even harder. After sleeping on it, I'm actually pretty confident we'll take three games at home. Last night's huge comeback (which ended up being a loss), was extremely frustrating at first, but having the time to comprehend everything shows me that we do have what it takes to beat them. I still have hope, and the series ain't over until it's over (or at least we go down 3-0). I know Kobe will step up soon. He's had 2 games to figure out the Celtics, and he knows that his very own legacy is on the line. I expect Phil to make some major adjustments as well, and I expect us to win all three at home

    Go Lakers!

    I still see the Lakers winning this series, but I think it'll be in 7.

    Honestly, no, I don't think they can beat them 3 times in a row when they've lost 4 in a row to them counting the regular season. To this, I'm sure the inclination will be to counter with the fact that Pau Gasol didn't play those regular season games. As I see it that's irrelevant because they haven't shown they can win with him, either.

    I think the Lakers will win two of three at home and win game 6 in Boston. Game 7 I am rather unsure of, but let's just say that I'm trying not to think about it. I'll cross that bridge if it comes.

    If you think about it we played poorly in Game 1 and cut the lead down to 4 in the closing minutes of the game. In Game 2 we played worse and almost won. I'm not going to complain.
