I want Lebron's Lakers in the Finals vs the Celtics.

Not sure I do. The Lakers are owning the reigning champs, while the Celtics are struggling against a team that features an aging, flabby Harden and a hobbled Embiid.

I'd like to see us play the Heat, and beat them in 5... quieten the ESPN heads who so desperately wanted that Butler three to go in last year. Then see Kyrie go to the Lakers, and beat them again after winning it this year.

I want no part of Golden State but I’m not comfortable with the Celts now. I think it goes 7 but I just hope they WIN the series. . Miami will foul their way pretty far. They are allowed to hold people more off ball. Just like GS did last year.

If the Celtics are going to win a championship, they're going to have to go through tough teams with good players. Bring on the challenge- no need to hide from Lebron. Otherwise, what's the point of this entire exercise? To say that the Celtics won a ring by playing less talented teams?

Of course they'll have to go through good teams, but I can much more easily picture the NBA swaying things towards its golden boy than I can the Celtics playing well enough to beat the Lakers 4 out of 7.

C's barely beat them both games in OT and that was before Pelinka made those crazy midseason moves. C's sure as heck ain't sweeping them. Will prob be a 7-game series as how we've seen their effort so far.

First thought: I'm not sure I'm emotionally equipped to see the Lakers & Celtics in the final after what happened last time.

Second thought: It also can't be worse than 2010 - even a sweep wouldn't feel as bad. And beating James & Davis for Banner 18 would be incredible.

nah. me and BTB will take them them also(if they make it i am fine with it but i am NOT rooting for them). i want payback for 2010. i still have PTSD from that game. it was like a nightmare. last thing i remember from that game was the arena going pitch black and a spotlight hitting kobe up on some platform at the end of the court holding up the trophy.
completely stolen valor. that trophy was ours. what a collapse. doc ran the guys into the ground and we blew a 12 point 4th quarter lead if i recall. sickening. just disgusting. oh and the refs let them win it at the FT line right? typical lakers playoff games.

however if the lakers lose the WCF i am fine with that also. I hate them and GS now anyway.
