Who do you guys have in Game 6? The series has been entertaining to say the least. The team defense Boston has shown recently makes me thing the Celtics could close the door on Kobe's 5th title, but I keep thinking there's no way LA loses 3 straight games. Kobe and Co. will respond.

Other questions: Does Ray Allen wake up and hit a three pointer? (He's missed his last 17) Which Pau Gasol shows up? And can Pierce duplicate anything close to what he put up in Game 5?

Note: The 1988 Pistons and 1994 Knicks had 3-2 series leads when they went on the road to play Games 6 and 7. Both team lost the series.

My call: LA wins Game 6 by 8.

I think the Lakers will pull out game six, but expect the Celts to take game 7.

I like how TJ Simers described his game five performance:

quote:

"I just love Our Ball Hog when he puts on a one-man show like this, after all, this is only Sunday night entertainment unless you somehow think your life changes whether the Lakers win or not. He scored 23 straight points between the second and third quarters, many of them dancing off one leg and falling backward, the other guys on his team just running around and letting the Celtics score so he might shoot again. This was superstar basketball, almost a made-for-TV movie, one against five in a dramatic shootout. He scored the first 19 points in the third quarter for the Lakers, the Lakers down by 11 when he started ignoring the rest of his teammates and down by 11 when he had finished. Over the years it doesn't always mean the Lakers are going to win when Our Ball Hog loses sight of everyone else, but you've got to admit it's the best in basketball entertainment."

I think Boston tastes the blood and wraps this thing up in 6.

Championship teams close out a series as soon as they can. They don't screw around. They finish it. If the Celtics really want to take home the title they need to respond with their best game and end it tonight. Otherwise I take LA in Game 7.

LA is dazed. Boston needs to lay the knockout punch.

Lakers win tonight, Celts win Game 7. Lakers have only lost 1 home game in the post season, so it will be tough but I think the Celts can do it.
