I rather see the Lakers go out sooner.  That is just to much success for my taste.

Agreed.  I've been saying this for a while.  I don't want to see Celtics/Lakers because I don't want the Lakers to get that far.  Besides, I'd rather the C's beat the defending champs.

sorry but pierce is not better than kobe. does that make me a traitor? i don't know. but he's just not.

the reason i wouldn't mind (notice how i didn't say want) the lakers in the finals is to put to bed this "stop living in the past" argument their pathetic fans come up with. to beat them in the finals again would be the ultimate satisfaction.

1. The Red/Phil Jackson discussion. I hope Phil stares at his name on the floor, then I hope he looks up at 16 (plus one) banners.

2. To watch Perk, Powe and all the other monsters beat the heck out of Gasol the flake.

Agreed with the above though, I don't want the Lakers to win another game.

I hate to say it too, but realistically Pierce is not better than Kobe, not even close really.

I want to see the Celtics beat the Lakers, but also I don't want the Lakers to even have a chance to win it all. i don't know what I want besides the Celtics to win it all.

I agree that PP is not better than Kobe.  But PP has outperformed Kobe on several head to head matchups.  Maybe that's what the OP is hoping for?

yea, overall PP is not the player kobe is (on pure athletic ablity, i think paul is x10 the team player kobe can ever hope to be) but he has owned him in several matchups over the last 3 years. i think thats what the OP was saying, that pierce tends to light up the lakers in general and kobe in particular.

I wouldn't care if Kobe showed that he's better than Pierce, as long as the Celtics showed they're better than the Lakers.

I want to see KG abuse Gasol, if Phil is dumb enough to put him on him.

Agreed. Kobe is better than Paul, however I really didn't realize how good PP can be until this year ( or he has other good players). I mean he is seriously freakin' good.

 That being said, I hate Kobe Bryant as much as I could despise anybody; basketball player, man, dog, whatever. He has earned that despise by behaving in such despicable ways. Pierce is very likeable.

The Lakers should lose every game they play. Misery should walk with them all the days of their lives. To face them in the finals (let's get there first) for me is a lttle bit scarey'cause of the two-three- two format. Since Gasol came to town they are infinitely better, and if Bynum returns he will at the minimum give them another big, capable body. (Their future looks very bright.)I would rather not have that worry and have them eliminated beforehand. Until the first 2-3-2 finals in '85 we never were beaten by them. I don't understand how the team with the best record should at any time be at a possible disadvantage because of querky scheduling of this final series. Even psychologically, if the visiting team wins one of the first two games, the other team has to think of winning not one of two, but two of three. Right from the gun the home team knows it absolutely must win both of those first two or it will definitely be in a big hole. The pressure is definitely much greater on the wrong team.

I agree with the above poster ... Lakers won't get by the Jazz.
