    (I asked this in another thread)
    The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers are down 2-0... Boy how the mighty have fallen...

    Who do you have (if they could) coming back and winning?

    The Lakers are down 2-0 giving those 2 at HOME, but they have the choking Mavs.

    On the flip side, the Celtics are down 2-0 but are coming home to the TD garden.

    I think both can come back in win.

    The Heat did exactly what they were supposed to do, win their home games. Celtics have no need to panic, they can easily win their home games and be right back in it.

    For the Lakers, they are the Lakers. Heart of a champion blah blah. I'd never count out a champion even down 0-3. Especially with how many titles Phil and Kobe have won.

    The Lakers still have a shot because their core is still in their prime and their opponent are the mavs.

    The Celts are done. Their oppoenent is too good to them win 4 out of 5.

    EASILY win their home games ? against the heat defense, and pierce being a non-factor with bron draped all over him???

    ray and rondo have to go nuts for them to win a game.

    nothing matters....Miami is not going to lose another game. They are learning to roll....downhill...like we've never seen since Moses and the 6'ers in 83.

    Yes, but our team wasn't this good or deep as this Mavs team is, they have alot of different pieces that make them go. Obviously, there's Nowitzki, with Kidd who is still deadly at running an offense with added 3 point shot; and a plucky Barea who is playing like Aaron Brooks did a few years ago.

    Alot of people are waiting for the Mavs to choke, yet maybe LA is not that good this year, and have played their best ball. Also, it is a team that they do not really have great size advantage over or roster depth.

    I'd like to also add how many have won a series losing the first two home games. That's usually a crippler, the opposing team realistically has to just win one game at home and the series is near the end.

    Only three times in history a team that lost the first 2 home games ended up winning the series. It's basically over, especially seein how strong Heat and Mavs are.

    Each team still has a 25% chance of coming back to win the series in my honest opinion

    I think both are done, but I'll give the slight edge to Boston just because they seem to be imploding less publicly than the Lakers at this point.
