beat the Magic and on their way to the NBA finals.

8^)

shocking!

WHAT matchup could possibly be Bigger Than the LAKERS -CELTICS the 2 most storied programs in BB.

Course it still ain't football..

Nor is it MLB, but for this finals I will be watching like Jack said, the two most storied and famous sports teams in NBA history.....and quite possibly in all sports (gulp) and I am not an NBA fan.

johnny come lately.

it was and always will be the dodgers against the yankees.

average pay about $20,000. a season or possibly less.

Well, the Lakers aren't in it yet. They still have to beat Los Suns and the last three games have been tough. I'm looking forward to a Lakers/Celtics series!

sorry mi comnpadre, i believe the celtics finished fourth in the eastern conference.

they did great on their way to the finals, but judging from game 1, the series will be short.

I thought the Lakers were out of gas in the 4th quarter, they spent all of there energy in the 3rd Q. That could be a problem for them because the Celts are relentless..

It may turn into a good series afterall. They are doing the 2-3-2 format. So, the three middle games will all be in Boston and that may give them the support they need to make it interesting. Boston is a strong team with some outstanding players - they beat Orlando!!

sorry jack. when you have a 20 point lead, you naturally tend to let down a little. let's see what the lakers do if they go into a fourth quarter in a close game.

i think later today, the lakers will start shooting more 3's.

CELTICS

HOME ROAD

24-17 26-15

LAKERS

HOME ROAD

34-7 23-18

The Celtics take game 2. Sweet.

This is probably gonna go to 7.

The commissioner will make sure it does go seven. There are bills to pay.

opps

Thought the officiating in game 2 was a little off....they need to let these players play ball instead of blowing the whistle every 20 seconds. And, they've made some terrible calls of late and the TV replay has shown just how bad they are......

Just sayin'

the officials are hurting both teams with ticky tacky calls. fans did not come to the game or watch it on tv to see officials, they want to see all the players playing their proper rotation.

SHOCKING!!!

Tied 2 - 2

nothing a good ground won't fix.

Again, another poorly officiated game for both teams. The worst un-made call was the charge on Bryant with about 1:10 left. I get the feeling the league told the refs to make it a 2-2 tie so they can stretch this out for 7 games.....
