Celtics or Lakers tonight game 3?

If Odom don't produce any more than he has been, the Lakers will lose again.

 

I'm guessing the free throw shooting (38-10 advantage Boston in Game 2) will be better for the Lakers tonight.

Lakers are a 9 pt favorite. Very odd, coming off two straight losses.

 

It looks kind of like the boys in Vegas are begging people to take the 9 points.

Celtics in another close one.

 

Anyone know who Phil was calling out about their play thus far in the finals. I seen in on ESPN but didn't get to see who he was talking about.

Odom.

 

"Lamar got confused out there,'' Lakers coach Phil Jackson said after Boston had taken a 2-0 series lead. "Situations that got him into foul trouble and little offensive sequences -- rather than just taking a shot or making the right play, [he] looked like a confused player out there at times. We'll try and get that straightened out.''

^ Thanks..

 

 

I know the Lakers will come out hard and fast tonight. they are too good of a team not to be competitive in this Finals. I think Boston will stay right with them tonight.

 

Key factors that will determine the winner:

 

-Foul differential

-Turnovers

Lakers lakers lakers. I hope I'm wrong b/c I'm pulling for the C's. Got them at a very good price before the series.

BTW, as Mike & Mike said, Phil knew exactly how to pronounce Powe's last name but chose not to.

I think the Lakers pull this one out and feed off having a very good home crowd and the refereeing will be more in their favor. I do like the Celtics for the series though. I believe the Celtics have a better bench, particularly on the interior. I would take Brown and Powe over Turiaf and I guess Walton any day.

No way the NBA lets the Lakers go down 0-3. Lakers will win.

Yep, good point. Besides, it's all about the $$$$. This is a business baby

[ScarHeel]

Yeah, nothing like a good conspiracy theory...

Lakers envoke "The GREAT Kurt Rambis" and win this one.

Celtics have beaten the Lakers 4 in a row so far this season. I don't see them making it 5 in a row and L.A losing this one at home. I think they come out with a lot more intensity and defend their home court.

 

Let's not forget Dallas did this to Miami 2 years ago and Miami went on to win 4 straight and take home the title.

 

Lakers only lost by 6 in game two and that with a 28 foul shot differential.

Lakers by 5.

Kobe's gonna HAVE to hit more shots tonight than he has been. He's 20-of-49 through the past 2 games. If the Lakers are to win, it will be because Lamar decided to show up down low & Kobe actually hit some shots. Go Lakers!
