Good points! I just thought that it would be interesting to mention that should this series go 7, nobody on either team would have the experience going for them.
That's not quite true.  Although the C's didn't play in a 7th game in 2008 finals, they played in quite a few game 7's in the prior 2 years.  Not too sure if the Lakers have but this cast of C's definitely has and only came up short against ORL last year.

The Rockets got to 7 games against them last year, without Yao Ming..of course they also got smoked that game also.

Although the finals are a bigger stage than the earlier rounds of the playoffs, I'd say any game 7 experience in the playoffs is about the same - because it's win or go home in the 1st round, semi finals, conference finals, and NBA finals no matter what.

Phil will be watching this Game 7 from his usual spot on his "big boy potty".
