Sun 6/13 - Lakers @ Celtics - Game 5 - Predictions/Comments

I hope PJ straps Odom to a chair and forces him to watch tape of Davis making a fool out of him.

MUST WIN!!!

No rebounds, no win.

Fcking drooling baby played like Leon Powe in 08.

The bench needs to step up so the starters could rest briefly.

Fck.

Win it and close it on in game 6.

If we don't win this we ain't winning the title, so yeah, it's a must win.

obviously a must win since Boston has proved they can win on our court

can you please play with 100% effort this time? kthxbai.

Barely. With Ray Allen setting an NBA Finals record for 3's.

Well, the last 2 times the Finals were tied 2-2, Game 5 was decided by 1 point (Horry's 3 in 05 and Wade's FTs in 06).

Phil Jackson Bulls 1992

Won game 1

Lost game 2

Won game 3

Some ppl are so silly.

If they win, we have 2 games to win on OUR HOME COURT.
If we win, they have to win 2 (more) games on OUR HOME COURT.
You really think they can beat us 3/4 times at home?

You might wanna rethink who this is a must win for. Nah don't, doesn't matter b/c we're winning this game regardless.

The Team who win Game 5, will be the favourite for the Championship. The Team who lost will have all the pressure...

It seems like game 5 being the key for the Championship (after Series tied 2-2), the Team who win Game 5... will have two opportunities to win... and looking at these Series and the potential of both Teams... it will be a big stone slab over the Team who is at 1 game to lose.

The Series are very close, any detail will be important. With Bynum healthy... they would be other Series but... it´s not time to complain, it´s time to WIN.

I still think that Lakers can win in Boston 2 games... and after losing game 2 in L.A., it is very important.

BE L.A. !!!!

Lakers better show up. I have a feeling Kobe is gonna be firing from the get-go.

I love that the series has been neck and neck thus far. That's what NBA Finals should be about. So thankful it wasn't an Orlando/Suns yawn-fest. Yeah, like that could've happened anyway lol.

All I gotta say about GAME 5:

i don't care how the lakers do it, just win. i don't care if it looks ugly just win.

WIN WIN WIN. lets close this out on game 6. (gonna go to this game)

The next three games will be won by the home court team. I won't even bother to watch the game on Sunday coz I know Lakers are going to lose. I'm just looking forward to game 7 when the Lakers take the 16th NBA championship.

last game lakers had no heart, and it was a must win.
lets get this one please

I hope so. Good observation, AIRBROWN, and Phil was going for a repeat in 1992, just like he is now.

no more jump shots by lamar please. take it to the rim.

also no more dribbling by ron. pass the ball. get your jump shots early in the game to see if it goes down or not. if it doesn't then just play defense all night.

Bench needs to play decent to give Gasol and Kobe a breather. Kobe hasn't been our closer all series long. He's gassed by the time the 4th rolls around.

We will win. Beat Boston

Beat Boston!

I was kind of paralleling our series with that one but I didn't mention it because I didn't want to jinx it...oh well.

What's crazy is that last years playoffs almost went completely identical with the 1992 Bulls run. We struggled in the 2nd round against the Rockets just like the Bulls did with the Knicks, we both dropped Game 1 at home. Then in the conference Finals we both dropped Game 2 at home and had to finish off Denver on the road in Game 6. Then in the Finals we demolished the Magic in Game 1 (Kobe and Jordan both going off) and then we both went to OT in Game 2. We ended up winning in OT and the Bulls lost so the similarities ended there but for a while they were pretty much an exact replica.
