If the Lakers get all the calls, then the conspiracy lives, Stern wants more games! If I were the Celtics, I would go all out and finish them. Giving them life could be a mistake.

Can that announcer for the Lakers be any less inspiring or enthusiastic? God, he sounds like he'd rather slit his wrists than call out players' names.
The Celts control their own destiny. If they decide to impose their will, the Lakers don't have a chance. I think the Lakers will jump out to a lead and we will see if they hold it. If the Celts jump out, I can see the Lakers crumbling and going away if the Celts don't lose concentration.
When I've watched the Lakers at the Staples Center, a friend of mine makes fun of when after the Laker Girls do a routine, the announcer says all droll and lifeless just 2 words "Laker girrls...." like they just sucked or he's tired of seeing them out there or something
Great effort by the Lakers so far, but I can still see them crumbling if/when the Celts put the heat on later. It may be on Kobe to carry them on his back.
