NBA: It’s a throwback Finals

Los Angeles Lakers v. Boston Celtics

One of the classic rivalries and one that helped make the NBA what it is today.  The Celtics finished their complete turnaround as one of the league’s worst teams to the East champions.  The Lakers make it back to the Finals for the first time since parting ways with Shaq.

Both have a big 3 to watch out for …

  • Lakers have Koby, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom
  • Celtics have longtime fan-favorite Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett

The series won’t really depend on them though as they are going to do what they do best.  The swing will be with the supporting cast and how well they perform on the biggest stage.  The Lakers have Phil Jackson which is a big X-factor.

This could be one of the best NBA Finals in a long time and, hopefully, we get as many games as possible.

PICK: Lakers in six
