Greetings...

For any fans of the court...how do you predict the outcome in game 7? Will it be the bad boys from Boston, snatching the title in a dramatic last game win...or will the Lakers crush their dream?

Sometimes I wonder...if the players aren't given a little "incentive" to play badly and stretch the games to the full limit, just to boost ratings. Home team advantage or not, how can a team go from intense to flacid, in one game?

Game 7 should be exciting, no matter who wins, I was just curious if anyone else was watching :)

Lisa

The Man says the same about stretching it to the full series. I disagree. By the time you make the finals the teams should be so evenly matched that it's a crapshoot.

The Lakers will win. They always show up when they "have to", and their defense will clamp down on Boston just like in game six.

Boston. It was my dad's favorite NBA team. The last night of his life, we spent several hours watching a Boston playoff game in his hospital room, and it made him happy to reminisce about all the Celtics' games he'd seen over the years. It was pretty much the last thing we ever did together, aside from the decision he and I made together a few hours later. I like to think they won it that year for him, and they're my team every year now!
