Will split the 2 games in Boston, and will take all 3 in LA.

Everyone may see this as a spilt series with boston or lakers, I see a few more people on boston though. I say the lakers will win the series. The whole compare player to player thing will not play the biggest part in this series, like most think. I see the lakers being the more relaxed team through the series. Even though boston is hungry for the title, this may hurt or even blind them for the first 2 games. I can so see the lakers taking full advantage of this. Also this is a series where 2-3 bad games can hurt boston huge, like what happened with ATL. The lakers seem to have the stronger offense. Even when there offense seems to be off, they wind up putting up a good number by the end of the game.

Bostons keys to winning the series will be they have to be hot on both sides of the court for the first 3 games. I see LAL taking a 2-1 lead in the first 3. I just do not think boston can do it. Even though the team they have is 110% able to wreck LA, I just dont see it in them. The A game is a hard thing to produce in every game played.

Lakers take it in 6 or maybe 7, make no mistake. The better coach, the team that is most able to bring the A game has this series. LA took apart SA great D. Look for the same here. Also I would never put bostons D as good as SA's D. Close but not there.

Lakers Win the NBA Finals.

Btw: a little drunk when I wrote this, but I new this series was comming & I new the lakers would take it.

It's kinda like Wrestlemania 3 when Hulk Hogan took on Andre the Giant. Everyone knew Andre could defeat any man that got in the ring with him, but since Hogan was the "good guy" getting the push, it was obvious who was going to win.

So, I'll say the Celtics win only because the outcome has already been decided.
