This is a very different Lakers that faced the Spurs in the past years. They are quicker, they run fastbreaks and not just triangle offense, they have quick big guys in Pau and Turiaf that can defend the pick and roll which was their achilles heel that's why Parker is not having his way, and they have a much improved Vujacic that can match Ginobili's speed and flopping.

Kobe is showing why he's the MVP (and best player in the world) in this series. Not only is he scoring at will, but he's making this team GO.

Spurs aren't done, however. Series can't be over until a someone wins on the road.

With the momentum the Lakers have right now, I honestly see this ending in 5 games. It will be hard to bounce back effectively from the embarrassments of game 1 and 2.

Wow! The Celtics are up by 18 at the half... on the road. They better not blow this.

**KingCrash** · 05-24-2008, 10:45 PM

Wow, was I wrong about the Celtics tonight. Just horrible defense by the Pistons lead to easy shots for the Celtics. Now we'll see if the Pistons can get up for Game 4.

Im calling Pistons in 6, and Lakers over Spus in 7. Setting up a rematch from the '04 finals, which LA should take home this time.

Celtics win 94-80. Finally this team looks like the team that had the best road record during the regular season. No time to let up. Celtics need to pour it on in game 4.

You really think the Pistons will beat the Celtics three times out of four to take it in 6? Nah.

So, the Celtics won a game in Detroit. I wonder what the experts are gonna say now?
