If the refs allow these two teams to play, then it will be a classic tough game with the Celtics coming out w/a w.
But if the refs control the game like they have in virtually every single lakers win, calling tough fouls for Gasol and Kobe while allowing KG to be hacked, it's going to be a blowout.

Pau Gasol should have won the Finals MVP. He was the difference in the series. Kobe played extremely well, but Pau was the MVP.

Wow, Lakers shot over twice as many FTs as the Celtics. It's ok Boston, we've been there and seen that. Not to mention the sweet up and down move that Pau Gasol made. Could you imagine how lethal Malone would have been had he been allowed to do that?
Nice 5 steps by Gasol on one of his final scores....I think I also saw a up and down on that play...what a joke

I enjoyed this series. It was obviously very competitive.
However, I can honestly say that these playoffs have turned me off in a way that no other playoffs have.
I'm so tired of:
#1 The NBA cares and seeing the phony clips. Just the overall over-selling that the NBA does. From these clips to the announcing and those annoying sound bites from the coaches (which show and tell you nothing. No one needs to hear Phil Jackson talking about the Celtics 4th quarter playoff woes. Or Doc Rivers telling his guys to "play together." No one cares). The announcing was pathetic. The NBA tried waaaaaaaayyyy too hard to create drama. You know, the non-stop praising about Kobe's legacy, Lebron's future, Fisher's daughter, etc. They shouldn't need to sell their players, the game should sell itself. We don't need to create drama involving two fans and their shirts. The game itself should create drama. Has there ever been two fans scrutinized so much as those two poor Fisher-Lied girls? The NBA or MLB sure don't focus their attention so much on the fans as the NBA did in this incident.
#2 The officiating. There were times where I honestly thought I was watching old reruns of the WWF. In no other "professional" sport are the refs so much a part of the show. And for hell's sakes, why are 90 year old men officiating these games? They're trying to keep up with some of the best athletes in the world! No wonder why they guess on the calls over half the time.
I'm grateful that the NBA is now over. For the first time in my life I feel a disconnect w/the NBA and really don't feel bad about it. Now we can focus on a real sport, the NFL.

I feel for Doc Rivers(that press conference was tough to watch) and the Celtics. Perkins going out with injury with 1 game left is incredibly unlucky.
Jazz fans almost know the feeling(game 6 is not quite game 7) of coming that close only to fall just short. And this group looks like it could be their last serious run at a championship(Big 3 are getting up there in age). Too bad.
