    I think Boston has a better chance, but sadly the cynical me has expected the Lakers to win with little to no opposition since the playoffs started.

    If healthy, I think Boston stands the better chance because they play better defense and they have the size to match up with Fakers' big men.

    Yea, I think Boston has a better chance since Orlando sucks anyway. So tonight I'm a bandwagon Boston fan since I hate the Lakers.

    1. Boston (At least, I know they won't give up easy shots at a record pace, like the Suns. They will not fold, like the Jazz, while the Celtics are way more experience than the Thunder. While also having a slightly deeper roster with much more capable big men and defenders. And an outstanding back court with good scorer at every position. The Lakers will not be able to key on anyone specifically. Boston kind of relaxed on Orlando, and I think they'll win the series tonight. If they get a 3-0, or 3-1 lead against the Lakers, they are going to go full speed ahead.)

    2. Phoenix (They could've ended this series, last night, if they played little bit more defense...I think they'll win Game 6, but are going to lose Game 7, like yesterday or get completely blown out).

    3. Orlando (The Lakers are your 2009-10 NBA Champions, wins NBA Finals 4-1, who are they going to go to win this series.)

    No team can beat the Fakers, you gotta admit they are the strongest teams in the NBA.

    If the Magic become the first NBA team to come back to win the series from a 3-0 deficit, I believe they can win the Championship.

    The correct answer is a healthy Rockets team.

    for some odd reason... I would rather see a Orlando/Phoenix finals. Amare vs Dwight would be a good watch. Also so I wouldn't have to see a Lakers/Celtics matchup.

    Between Orlando and Boston, it's Boston.

    All the way up to 3-1 I thought Boston. Now, I'm not sure either team has much of a chance.

    An optimal Boston team can. Whether they can put 4 of those games together is a big question mark. Magic is doubtful.

    The Suns and Celtics.


    The Suns can easily pull a game 7 upset, and Boston is an overall smarter team.


    The Lakers aren't repeating this year.

    The Celtics manages to make every series into a dogfight, but most of the time they still come out winners. I'll still take them over the Lakers.
