This is a pretty exciting match between these two teams. So guys, which team do you think would claim victory in the end? Is it the Celtics or the Lakers? Why?

But I think Celtics is the special team of the season and I think Lakers rely too heavily on Kobe to deliver.

Yes, i agree with you on that. The main weakness of the Los Angeles Lakers is that they totally depend on Kobe Bryant. Without him, their team wouldn't be of any good. They won't even make it to the finals without him. On the other hand, what makes the Boston Celtics stay on the top is that they have these big NBA stars such as Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce working together as a cohesive and effective basketball players.

But the Lakers just won game 3 today with a score of 87 while boston having only 81. And Kobe is really good because he made another career high score of 36 points. This guy really is amazing. The Boston Celtics are still leading the series though 2-1.

The Celtics...they are the media darling. Look at the gatorade and ESPN commercials. They should have been beaten by the Hawks and the Cavaliers... It's all about the "Big 3" and reviving Celtic lure

Hello! I think this is a very excsiting match between the best teams in the NBA season this year. Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics have a very rich history of winings and titles so I'm very interested to know which team will be the champion for this year. In fact, I like Boston Celtics more because I think they have a better basketball. They play a very good and tough defence which make difficulties for each team in the NBA. Also, Boston has an impressive crew of players like: Paul Pierce, Rey Allen and Kevin Garnett. This three play overwhelming together and in my opinion the deserve to win the championship. Los Angeles Lakers are very good team too, especially because of their star Kobe Bryant which is maybe the best player in the world today. However, Boston has a tough defence and if they stop Kobe Bryant, they will probably win the Finals.

I believe that the Boston Celtics would win this season. Just take a look at their standing now, 2-0. Well definitely the Celtics would take home the trophy. Sorry to Lakers fans out there. May we find more excitement on the games to come.
