If the Cs are able to close things out, one word from Kobe's presser after Game 5 can be used to sum up why the Cs won....."them".
The Cs are a true team that have completely bought in, the Lakers are about Phil & Kobe and their legacies, not team.

This coming from the guy who jumped off his own teams bandwagon after game 1 haha. You know what, I will still keep believing my team can rebound from 2 tough loses on the road involving poor performances by everyone not named Bryant and use home court to win the series, because that's what real fans do.
I didn't jump off the wagon I simply predicted the Lakers to win but still cheered for the C's.
I have been watching the C's for a long long time and I love them. I even have a Reggie Lewis rookie card still in my wallet to remember one of my favorite players.
You just seem very bitter and not willing to give the C's any credit when they win. I will give the Lakers all the credit in the world if they win, I bet if the C's win you will just come back with some whinny should been; could been scenario that in your mind doesn't justify the C's winning.
If being delusional is what real fans do you are on the right board! =)

BTW- Ron Artest is killing you guys! I kill him if he played for the Celtics. what a bone head.

I hate the Celtics more than any other NBA team, with a close second being San Antonio, so of course I'm not gonna say positive things about them just like I don't say anything positive about the Eagles or Cowboys. That just goes against every fiber of my being. And you're right I would be bitter if we do wind up losing this series because that's how it's supposed to be if the team you hate the most wins the championship especially if it's over your favorite team. I see my comments as being a realist and I would expect to hear the same thing if the shoe was on the other foot, because we're talking about a sport where a few plays or an extra source of contribution can completely change the outcome as evident by all four of the Celtics main players contributing in the same game for the first time in the series vs just one guy on the other team. Of course I'm going to try and look at how a few plays in last night's game like that airball call or the Celtics getting that inbounds pass & layup, can change or add momentum to each team because I firmly believe both teams had a chance to get the win last night in that 4th quarter. More plays were made by the Celtics and thus they won, and I believe at home the Lakers can bounce back and get those same kind of plays in their favor.
Oh and Artest is pretty much our Tony Allen. Both are in for strictly defense, an occasional rebound, and both have no business shooting the ball more than 8 feet from the hoop. Artest's bad shots are magnified because he's a starter and on the court more than Allen so he's more likely to take more shots unfortunately.

Game 7 here we come!!
Yup nice win for the Lakers. It is going to be really tough for the C's to win Thursday especially without Perk. I pray at least it is well fought and not a goose egg like last night.

This is one of the ugliest games I've ever watched and it's only fitting for these 2 teams to be scratching and clawing for each point to determine the championship though.
