Would have usually said the Lakers but after watching Boston against the Cavs and Magic, gotta go with them in 7.

I chose Lakers in 6, but wouldn't be surprised if done in 5. I see 1 matchup that truly favors the Cs, and that's PG. But, LA has already seen 2 that were better during this year's Playoffs, and Westbrook isn't that far behind Rondo, IMHO. So, there won't be that element of "surprise" if you will.

I really have no clue.
Both teams looked unbeateable and quite vulerable just this past series.
I think the Lakers size wins it in the end.
Lakers in 5 or 6

I think it will be a great series but I keep seeing Kobe throwing in some incredible out of this world shot that under normal circumstances would never go in but it's Kobe, it's game 7 and it's being played on the coast.

Celtics in six. Back to the true team play that has helped them win so many in the past.

Tough call, but I think i'm going to go with the Celtics in 7. Both teams have big advantages, Celtics with Rondo at the point and of course the Lakers with Kobe. Don't really think either team has that much of an advantage anywhere else. I might actually give the Celtics a slight edge down low. Bynum's health is still a question and I don't think Gasol has much of an advantage against Garnett. Plus they still have Big Baby and Sheed to come off the bench. Should be a damn good series.

I honestly think Boston wins. We ran into a buzz saw and were too busy panicking to realize it. Then we finally saw it during the Orlando series.
The Celtics are on their last 'hoorah' together and I expect them to get the job done. This C's team is BETTER than the 2008 squad, absolutely no doubt in my mind about that.
The Lakers are very beatable when you hold them under 100 points and I expect the Celtics to do that.

The more I look at the matchups, the more I agree with hoops23 post.
Celtics matchup very well with the Lakers and definitely have the post players to knock them off. Should be a great series.

Sadly I have to say Celtics in 6. The Lakers haven't faced a team yet in the playoffs that play the kind of defense the Celtics do and the Celtics can match up with the Lakers at any position on the floor.
Not to mention the biggest mismatch on the floor has to be Rondo-Fisher. Lakers fans can say that they've already faced tough PG's in Westbrook, Williams, and Nash however none of those three have played as well in the playoffs or against as tough of competition as Rondo.
