Lakers vs. Celtics: Rivary Renewed!

The renewed Lakers vs. Celtics rivalry has definitely lived up to the hype.  Kobe & Company taking on Rondo and his gang has produced an action packed series.  Of course Kobe won’t be able to win the finals by himself.  He will need his teammates to step up and contribute and the Celtics will need to play through any spectacular performances he might produce.

So far the play of Rondo in the beginning of the series was a boost as he was able to coordinate the offense and get his teammates involved.  Then Ray Allen’s record breaking Finals three point shot barrage was a mega boost.  And not to be left out was Glen “Big Baby” Davis who came off the bench and slaughtered the Lakers and then slobbered all over them! Derek Fisher has repeatedly stepped up and delivered for the Lakers but other team members will need too to.  So far it looks like the Celtics might just steamroll their way right to the Championship, but I predict that the Lakers will win in 7.

When two good teams like these compete against one another the fans are the ultimate winners and the National Basketball Association will also hugely benefit as a result of this renewed rivalry.
