Defense, folks. That's why the Celtics are going to win this series. They will smother the Lakers.

103-88

Pains me to say it, but the Celtics are too efficient on offense and too tough on defense. The Lakers can't rely on their defense to win 4 out 7 games.

@ losing to a team with Ray Allen on it.

alot of you guys be hating on this man for a long time but he speaks the truth. hes been repping the lakers on this board before you all even found the url www.niketalk.com

it will take a MIRACLE for the lakers to beat the celtics. apparently me and laker 4 life are the only people on the planet that has a brain. Its still MIND BOGGLING how every person/analyst/reporter/former player is picking the lakers. Like we just didnt go through a whole season as being one of the worst defensive teams?

I'm sorry but did we forget about that?
What the F??? Yo man, have a fun time at people's expense, tell some jokes, make some predictions, tease some folk, what the hell ever. But what kind of nonsense is "it will take a MIRACLE for the lakers to beat the celtics."???

I mean really, it will take a miracle for a team with the best player playing and a coach with 9 rings to beat a bunch of guys who've never won jack sh*^ their whole damn life? A miracle?

How about it will be tough, and it may take a lotta hard work?

Come on, the damn series could go either way, period. Maybe they beat us, maybe they don't. But it doesn't take a miracle to beat a team full of non winners.

dude its gonna take a miracle. Kobe is the best in the game but he is not god. This team does not play defense! Its like im in bizzaro world here!

phil has 9 titles because all of those teams played defense...

this team?

no defense
had my doubts too

Vs. Denver - i thought we wont be able to stop Melo and AI , rebounding

vs. Utah- Best Home team/ Deron/ Boozer abusing our soft Euro inside

vs. Spurs - Defending champs..battle tested savvy veteran team vs a young team

look at what we did to get here though...

i am SURPRISED the lakers made it this far...

How can you count out your "favorite team", and not give them a chance.
I mean it's one thing to say, "it's gonna be a tough series" But to say, "Celtics are going to embarrass the Lakers, or Lakers have no chance"

I never said they had no chance... I said its gonna take a miracle... With this team being one of the worst defensively....and with uncertainty ofwhich gasol or odom is gonna show up? am i supposed to lie and say lakers got this in 5 just to make it look like im a fan? no way
 
anybody think they should re-name the Staples Center into the Staples Forum, even just for this series.....?

realistically, the celtics should win this series..... if LA is going to win, it'll be all kobe..... the celtics as a team is better than the lakers....so the the better team usually wins unless of course a superstar goes crazy like lebron vs. pistons ECF last year.... that's the reality of this series.

i disagree. if the lakers win it'll be because of the team... sure kobe can get his anytime, but when the whole team is involved the lakers are a hardteam to beat... and the celtics being a better team than the lakers is debatable..
 
my co-worker's telling me that jack nicholson paid about 70k for his pair of courtsides....
