Celtics v Lakers

I would really like to see the Celts take it, but I've got to go with the Los Angeles Kobe's in 6.

Celtics win in their white jerseys. Hey! I just hada thought. Maybe these NBA guys would shoot better if they wore those 1987 shorts like the players in those classic Celtic/Lakers games!
The NBA should incorporate the "throw-back" uniforms like the MLB teams do on occasion. That would be funny to see...

Down 24, Celtics top Lakers to go up 3-1

The Celtics can reclaim their place atop pro basketball with a win in Game 5 on Sunday night in Los Angeles.

No team has ever recovered from a 3-1 deficit in the finals.

Does this mean the league decided before the series began that Boston was to become the champion and directed the refs to make it happen?

One year ago, I certainly never thought this would happen. I was hoping for the #1 draft pick. When that didn't happen, I figured it was going to be another 25-30 win season.

Unbelievable game. Great defense, fun to watch. I guess Ray Allen wasn't washed up after the Cleveland series, after all.

Boston's defense was amazing. And their offense fired on all cylinders, too. 131 points to win the title... gotta be a record.

Boston's 39-point win surpassed the NBA record for the biggest margin of victory in a championship clincher; the Celtics beat the Lakers 129-96 in Game 5 of the 1965 NBA finals.

Edit -> It was the second biggest margin in finals history behind Chicago's 96-54 win over Utah in 1998! OUCH!!
