Title: Lakers vs Celtics
Post by: mg1942 on June 05, 2008, 11:28:19 PM: Anyone watching this?

I just watched game 1. This series looks good, very evenly matched player lineup.

2-1 only? not a great bet IMHO 5-1 maybe worth $500

BTW Rambis was my favorite Laker when I pulled for them way back in the old days.

Love the old "beat LA" chant shaking the Garden like the old days.

Lakers got outrebounded, out hustled and out done in 2nd half! It was 6ft D. Fisher who is doing most of the rebounds for the Lakers lol.

This series is going to be Celtic's defense vs Laker's offense. Unlike other defensive teams, Celtics team can score 100+ point just like the Lakers.

I'd honestly like to see it last a few more games tho, these have been great to watch

If the Lakers manage to tie the series 3-3 then I will suspect that the referees are scripting the game :t
