Could it be that the Celtics, simply put, are just the better team?

better team…yes. but as far as you guys having better players no. i so thought the lakers were gonna win it in 5 but kobe let me down and so did gasol…..and ray allen has been doing an amazing offensive job.

next year the knicks will be the same way.

@jamzzy – you think the Lakers have better players? Please do explain…

look at the match ups. lets say that they were all put in a 1 on 1 situation. for me the Lakers would have the upper hand. the only player that intimidates them really is KG hes a monster. but the celtics just have more chemistry and somehow get the open look a lot more….which pisses me off.. i end up screaming “WHY IS HE OPEN!” every game.

Remember me, born and raised in Los Angeles, an eternal L.A. Laker fan who predicted the Lakers in 5 or 6 games? Well, as much as I hate to admit it, I think you are correct. Several Celts have stepped up their games and they are collectively playing better ball, so yes, they are the superior team thus far in the finals. I believe the Lakers have better proven talent and greater potential, but its hard to take potential to the bank. I give credit, as due, to the Celtics. (sigh)

and im not Celtic bashing either, although i dont see how the Lakers are losing…Way to go Celtics…way to bring a championship to the east…..miami didnt count.

The media only harped on this Lakers team being better because they are from L.A. and have the most overrated coach in history… If I had had alot of money on my hands when this series started, I would have been alot richer today, because I would have bet it all on Boston… Kobe is the best player in the NBA (Lebron might be better), but he’s no match for the Big 3…
