Congrats to All Celtics Backers!
This series is over. Game 2 was the game the Lakers were supposed to make a statement, and instead, we get the most deceptive final score in NBA history as the Celtics showed they are the superior team.
I already ripped up my series bet, and I now predict Celtics in 6.

Ya right L.T. Boston still has to play 3 games in L.A. and what's going on with that bull pen strategy doesn't seem to be turning out very well.

After warching the first two games, I think Boston could take one game in LA and that's all they need to win in 6.
As for baseball, it's not the end of the world to be -12 units at the beginning of June. Still a long way to go and I am sure there are a lot of guys a lot worse than -12 YTD right now. The Bullpen System is actually -8.35.

Lakers will come back shouldn't of ripped up that ticket L.T. and I didn't say it was a failure just that it started out strong and now it's kind of sinking.

It's not a matter of being a good sport, it's a matter of having eyes.
I made the mistake of automtatically assuming that since the West is the stronger conference and the Lakers beat better teams to get here, that they would find a way. As it turns out, while the West is deeper, the TOP East teams have proven they can beat anyone and it is no flluke that the Celtics and Pistons finished with the two best records in the NBA.

I've talked about that many times already. The Celts knew they didn't need to win on the road the first two rounds because they had the arrogance to know that they would not lose to those teams at home. Thus they played with no sense of urgency on the road. Then when they played a team they actually respect, they flipped the switch and beat the Pistons twice in Detroit.
I guess what I am saying is that their two road wins vs. Dertoit is a truer indication of just how good they are than their struggles on the road vs. inferior opponents the first two rounds.

Oh and did I mention they were 31-10 on tbe road during the regular season including an easy win in LA? Don't get too caught up in their road perfromance the first two rounds, as it is absolutely meaningless, especially when matched with their full body of work on the road this year.

We'll see I have faith in the Lakers to bounce back and pick up some wins in L.A.

Seeing how the Celtics dispatched the Pistons, my contention was that Celtics would take Games 1 and 2, steal Game 4 in LA and finish off in Game 6. It's now clear to everyone that the Celtics manipulate the level of their game based on the strength of the opposition. That's what they've been doing in the playoffs.

People should be realistic. Lakers have to win 4 of the next 5 games against KG, Pierce and Allen. Celtics want the championship as bad as Richkas needs a beer.

Lakers can still win this series. However, next year there will be no doubt who the best team is. Lakers will pummel any/all comers after being too green this year. The moment looks to be too much for many of the Lakers right now.
