I'm going with the Celtics in a close one. Around 107-104 is my guess. Rasheed Wallace will step it up in place of the injured big man, Kendrick Perkins. Pau Gasol struggles with him on him and that is my only concern. Ray Allen will most likely lead the pack with Pierce following right behind him. Bryant should do good, but the rest of the team (Gasol, Artest, Etc.) will struggle in my opinon.
If I had to put money on it i would put it on the Celtics. Kobe wont let it happen, not against the celtics, he's the extra coach. Im no expecting a blowout like in game 6 but im expecting a win. People talking about 2 years ago just shut up the only thing that it effected is how much more Lakers are going to want it. If the Lakers bench plays the way they did last night its impossible for the Lakers to get beat. Lakers home court advantage which really effected the game as we saw last night.
I think the Celtics will win with Kendrick Perkins out. Big Baby is better and so is rasheed wallace. So i think the final score will be 94-89 CCCeltics!!!
Until the Lakers can prove me wrong, I have to go with the Boston Celtics. If you get hit as hard as the Celtics were hit in Game 6, you come back stronger than ever before and fight to win.
