Everyone's going a little overboard. Do they appear to have figured out how to beat the Lakers? Yes. Does it appear that they're going to win the NBA Championship? Yes. Are they definitely, without question going to go into LA and beat the Lakers in game 6 or 7? Aw naw.
The Lakers are tough at home, and there's no way Kobe wants the embarrassment of losing the NBA Finals on his home court.
It's my opinion that if the C's are going to win the championship, they have to close it out in game 6. I don't think there's any way they're winning a game 7 in LA.
I think that the Lakers need to build a decent lead, and hold on to it. I don't think they can beat the Celtics in a close game. Because in a close game, the Celtics don't have to beat the Lakers. They have to beat Kobe. They can double team Kobe in a close game, late in the 4th, without worrying that he's going to dish the ball off, and force him to take bad, low % shots. And those are the shots you want guys taking, even if it's Kobe Bryant.
Rant over. I like Boston to win game 6, but no, I won't take your bets. I'm not that confident.
WAR RONDO!
