    Ok, I better change my forecast as it doesn't look like the Laker's in 6. However, I do see the Laker's winning the series still.

    Having said that... WOW, Rondo is amazing. Dude has elevated his name to the UPPER echelon of players! That tip in was incredible.

    that was a 1 in 100 play all the way around...which made it even cooler.

    Lake Show should be fine, but Boston is playing some unreal ball right now.

    I wish I could say the Lakers will be fine, but I agree that Boston is playing some unreal ball.

    Regardless of whether the Lakers win or lose the title, do you think Phil Jackson will retire or come back to coach again in the hopes of getting another ring that he can wear on one of his toesimage?

    Lakers will win this series.

    Changing subjects, some clown called the Stephen A. Smith show today talking about Phil Jackson. Basically saying Phil is over-rated. Talking about all the other coaches who have out-coached Phil, how Phil has had so many great players, etc.... I am no Phillip fan but come on now. That's just nonesense! TEN championships! I don't care who is on your team. To win 10 championships you have to be doing something right!

    That caller needs to give Phillip a break.

    As a coach, it's kind of hard to win a championship with only ONE of the greatest players of all time on your team.

    By the way, I'm not sure if it's because Phillp has been boning his daughter for a few years now, but he is physically turning into Jerry Buss.

    Lamar and Ron show up and the Lakers win by 15!

    Lakers need to run more fast breaks! Damn it!

    Dr Buss's daughter just said recently she has no problem if Phil ever coached somewhere else if he left LA.

    Phil said a few weeks ago he was very sure he would finish his career in LA...I believe he said 90% sure.

    I guess we'll wait and see.

    Dang that is a whooping going on tonight. I don't see the Celtics bouncing back from that demolishing in game 7. I guess we shall see on Thursday night.

    Glad to see the Lakers show up tonight.

    Impressive win is all I gotta say. Hopefully the Lakers can show up Thursday night too.

    Wow, what a finish!!!!!!!!!! Lakers are 2010 Champions and Kobe wins his second MVP. Jerry West said a few weeks ago Kobe would be the All Time Greatest Lakers if they won this year...I don't know, but who could argue with Jerry West.

    Artest probably played his best game and the Lakers Defense and rebounds saved their championship. The entire Lakers team was ready again. I would have never thought the Lakers could win with such a poor shooting night, but they came through down the stretch.

    I would have to put this championship as my all time favorite next to the one when Magic and the Lakers won it during his rookie season.

    Also a congrats to the Celtics on an incredible season and defying the odds to almost win it all.

    Great game. I am very happy for the Lakers and a complete team effort in defeating the Celtics. image
    You have to like their chances for next season.

    The big question is Phil Jackson.
