Celtics vs. Lakers rematch...will it happen this year?

[andz]

---

I'm not talking they're overrated because the media overhyped them to the point they're going to the Finals. No. I was referring about Garnett and Allen's arrival on the team. Nobody liked the team until they came -- people jumping to their bandwagon. That's an undisputable fact.

Boston sucks. They lost to New Jersery.

That's all.

Jumping the bandwagon ? lol something must be wrong with you.

It's like Gasol, going to the lakers, lots of people jump to their bandwagon on 2008, tons and tons of people started to like the lakers because of paul gasol, if he didn't come in 2008. Lakers wouldn't even reach the finals. And they got artest this year? more bandwagoners, they gained more fans. /facepalm.

It's like Shaq going to the cavs, lots of people jump to their bandwagon this year, they gained even more fans, gained more popularity, even got jamison which made lots of analyst, and people think they would be the 2010 championship or surely face lakers in the finals. Look what happened?

It's like Vince Carter going to orlando, lots of vince carters fans went to orlando "bandwagoners" because of him.

Yes boston celtics lost to New Jersey.. So what ? that game wasn't the playoffs. Which doesn't matter anymore.

Do you even know San Antonio Spurs also lost to New Jersey? but do people care? No. Because spurs play different in playoffs. They even won a champion with a mediocre season lol.

So many doubters, haters, Even Basketball "Experts" & "Anaylst" claiming Boston Celtics won't even make it at all in the conference finals.

All claiming Boston Celtics is too old to even defeat Cleveland Cavaliers, because of a 50 win season. Look at ESPN'S Expert Analysts:


Guess What? Boston Celtics Won. And yes they pretty much got silent. By the way one of em even considered a sweep lol.

Best Comment of the Cavs-Boston Series:

People who think LeBron James quit on his team are hilarious! Basketball is a team sport. Kobe couldn't do it without Gasol or Shaq or Bynum. Neither could D-Wade. (Shaq doesn't count as a star player now because he's old.) So for the Cavs, they should get some better players who can, ya know, shoot a basketball. Otherwise this will continue to happen each year.

by the way check out 2008's Lakers vs Boston ESPN'S Expert Analysts:


And.. Boston Celtics won, proving to the doubters that they are wrong.


I don't care if people start yapping that "this" team can't make it because of a "bad" season. Playoff's are a different, its where real players come out and play, dominate. The sad thing is, no one even gave Boston Celtics a chance in the Playoff's, not even a "wait if they are healthy they can win".. but no people said "They are old, they are slow, they suck, they will lose". Even on an interview with Orlando Magic before facing Boston Celtics, claiming they can't catch up because we are too fast for them, and they are old.. Look at the results. :/ Losing 2 homecourt games.

Even if Boston doesn't win the championship this year, or loses to orlando? which is still possible! they already proven doubters wrong by defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cleveland was the heavy favorites to win it all. Even newspapers claiming Cavs would easily sweep Boston... look at the results.. /facepalm once again.

And lastly, Orlando vs Boston ESPN'S Expert Analysts:


Looks like 2 people are already wrong.

If the rematch will happen, underdogs gyud ang Celtics definitely. You cannot favor them against the Lakers. Even the Vegas odds will favor the Lakers IF the rematch will happen.

I'm not really favoring anyone, and I don't follow Vegas odds, While Vegas use a good statistical formula that tool cannot measure heart , determination or even injuries. What if Bryant suddenly falls, then you get Boston getting better odds. Again you cannot deny Bostons age but if they win against Orlando convincingly and peaking at the right time, these Boston players still know how to play ball and they do it with defense. My point is if you look at all the positives of Boston now, not 2 months ago but now with the way they are playing they have a chance to win it all not as underdogs.

Look at this stat last game Paul Pierce scored 22 points in the first half , first half .... and you know what he said "We were ready for the intensity they were going to bring," said Pierce. "We're not going to take these two wins for granted." all of em the coaching staff the players all I hear from them are we haven't accomplished anything, until winning it all ...

With that said , Its still early , and we aren't denying LA being a great team but Bostons playing like bats out of hell ... could be a coin toss come championship

Sadly most people think Stats > Heart.

That's why boston celtics wer the underdogs in 2008 finals.. how much more now especially cavs.

Right now boston are underdog vs orlando magic. but after winning 2 games on orlando's court.. looks like people are shutting up lol.

@boss oli, atot ahahaha, chicago bulls ko oi! missing the old michael jordan days na green team ko because of the truth!

Watch this, and you will see why.. YouTube - Paul Pierce's Journey

This is a nice quote for the Celtics:

C's are the underdogs, and are doing well. An unselfish group of players that just want to win. I respect that. This is a team, and you don't know who will be the star.

[radiostar]

plausible...

[korg17]

looks like it will. another classic rivalry in the making much like the 80s

[MalditohoN]

i never thought that the celtics would reach ECF and by the look of things, a sweep against magic? hope the magic has still a bag of tricks left.

celtics vs lakers is a good match-up and an anticipated rematch.
