Lakers VS Celtics NBA Finals

Lakers, probably in 5 or 6. I just don't see the Celtics big 3 matching up to the Lakers. The Lakers also have a stronger bench then them and a better coach.

NO bias at all I'm sure ;)
 
I see it this way

Kobe > #1 Celtics Players
Gasol = #2 Celtics Player
Odom > Ray Allen

The benchs are somewhat close, but I think everyone would agree that that the Lakers Bench is a little stronger.

Coaches Phil Jackson top 3 of all time. Most likely top coach of all time.

your crazy and guess what Phil Jackson is NOT PLAYING! lol, Celtics are gonna tear them out, if the Lakers had Bynum it would be a different story, but they dont.....
 
Over the season Ray Allen has averaged 3 more points then Odom. Odom has average 6 more rebounds.

Numbers don't lie

Ray Allen
2007-08 Statistics PPG 17.4 RPG 3.7 APG 3.1 SPG 0.9 BPG 0.2 FG% 0.445 FT% 0.907 3P% 0.398 MPG 35.9

Lamar Odom
2007-08 Statistics PPG 14.2 RPG 10.6 APG 3.5 SPG 1.0 BPG 0.9 FG% 0.525 FT% 0.698 3P% 0.274 MPG 37.9

NBA.com's player effiency is about 20 for Lamar. 12 for Ray Allen.

In the playoffs their scoring si similar, but Odom leads with quite a few more rebounds.
 
Their points we basically identical. If he was as valueable, his points would have to far out weigh the points of Odom to make up for the other aspects of Odom's game that out weigh Ray Allen.
 
Lakers in 6.
It is not about Big 3 vs Big 3.
I think Odom will have a rough series against KG but KG will also have a rough series IMO.
Watch out for Derek Fisher and Gasol to jump back from their horrible series against the Spurs.
Especially when Fisher do not have to guard the scorer like Deron Williams, AI and Tony Parker but Rondo who has no consistent outside shots.

I think the series will come down to Lakers's defense against Celtics offense.
Lakers can score anytime they want to even if it is against celtics defense.
 
As long it goes down to the last shot at game 7 I am happy :D

Odom better than Ray Allen? lol

Don't forget Perkins is being a beast. Stats thru the season doesn't matter, it is all about what is happening NOW.
Compare Odom to him first dude!!!! ;) :D
