Lakers/Celtics Best Rivalry in Sports

[Change]

Best game of the year. The rivalry is alive and well.

Great game, just a terrible outcome. This is probably it for the rivalry the next few years unfortunately. No telling what both teams will look like next season.

Without JO & Wilcox , I'm very impressed we could force a close one with the LA and their bigs.

This proves one thing for LA mgmt ,  they can't get rid of Bynum and Pau.  Without them , Kobe can't carry the team.

Getting rid of either of their bigs is a disaster for them.... unless they get DH I see no way they trade em , if they still want any chance in the playoffs.

I can live with this lose.  LAS winning my the skin of their teeth on their home court is nothing to brag about to an undermaned injured club.

If I were the Lakers management, I'd trade Bynum in a heartbeat for Dwight Howard as long as that means keeping Gasol.

Howard >>>> Bynum in terms of production and not being nearly as injury prone.

their chance in the playoffs in bynum & gasol, kobe is a volume guy, he might score 25 but he needs 20 shots to do it, they will live & die by their twin towers and a go to guy in the 4th quarter
as i see it they really aren't that much different than boston now
supposedly they are trading gasol it would have to be for a good pg and a good pf, anything else is a shot in the foot, would love gasol on our team

Best rivalry in basketball, not best rivalry in sports.

Hands down the best in sports.

It's certainly my personal favorite.  I've been a very calm fan all season long watching the games, but this rivalry just has a way of bringing out the emotions like none other for me.

Darn, I hate the Lakers!!!!

It has to be. I dont see anything else coming close except maybe yankees sox.. The history the lakers and celtics have beats anything else by miles and miles.
