Not knowing if we can beat them ? We have beat them 3 out of 4 times since 2008 and we would've won the last meeting if Kobe had played.

Um you do realize regular season games from 2008 mean absolutely nothing right? And the Celtics are a completely different team now than they were in the regular season. Regular season means absolutely nothing with the Lakers and Celtics.

That's where your wrong the Lakers have confidence they can win in Boston because they have done it twice since 2008 and you say Boston is playing so much better in the playoffs, so are the Lakers.

Skippy also picked the Suns over the Lakers.

That blows his credential as a competent sports analyst.

Skip had picked against even going back the 08 West Finals.

That was in the regular season. Anyways all those games came down to the last possession.

It doesn't matter wins are wins no matter the margin of victory and they are confidence boosters for the Lakers knowing they can win at home obviously against the Celtics and can also win in Boston .

I agree ^^^


Not only do we have HCA but we have beaten boston in boston the last 2 seasons, and Im sure we will handle business again!

This break between series' could not have been longer, ridiculous.

Oh, time is moving like turtles.
Beat Boston

Relax, Nostradamus is talking years...

On a serious note, I have not been to Staples in awhile and was curious if it is wheel chair accessible being game one and all...

^^^^^^^^ same here!

i call sweep.

I can already see PP driving his shoulder into Gasol or Artest and getting two free throws. You guys need to realize that PP gets away with just as many bs calls as D-Wade. It's not nearly as noticeable because he's not a one-man show like D-Wade.

Artest needs to stay out of foul trouble and somehow not let the refs call two quick fouls in the first quarter. That will definitely be key.

Getting REAL difficult to concentrate here at work.. Hopefully I stay somewhat busy or else this day is gonna drag on like a MF'er.. Picking up some beers after work and then heading home to prime up..

40+ for kobe 2nite

Have to win these first 2 home games.

Hopefully Pau is injection himself with testosterone for this series. We cannot get another PauSoft in this final round. Pau, Odum and Bynum are the key and must dominate the interior. Kobe also has to continue to be efficient like he was in the Phoenix series.

I've been working all week and finally got the day off today Slept in. Probably going to grab a bite to eat, pick up some beers, then head over to my friends to watch the games Lakers in 6. Blowout tonight

I haven't even been able to sleep this entire night. I've already cracked open and beer and just going to watch the Office and Supernatural until the game starts. I'm too damn pumped for this.



LETS DO THIS!!!

True, but it means the players on both teams will be fresh, which should make the first game an exciting one. If this is like last year's Finals, Kobe will try to make a statement, and that alone is usually enough for the Lakers to get a win. The big question mark will be Bynum: how will he do after getting his knee drained? I hope it helps him as much as it did Kobe.

Gotta get gm 1 tonite...don't need the players hearing 3 days of how this is just like 08. Really the 2 gms in LA are must wins.

We have to win this series. No way the C's walk through Wade, LBJ, D12, and Kobe all in one post-season. No way. The buck stops here.

Going to do a brutal workout. Then when I come back, I'll do a little writeup. I'm so anxious it's ridiculous.
