West Adelaide Bearcats Men's Youth League Trials

Ok, i really want to point out so far that just about every prediction i have made this entire playoffs has been wrong, so i am giving a huge kiss of death when i say- Boston should comfortably win from here.

They will not take their foot off the pedal at any stage so it will be up to the Lakers to get a step up on their play.

With extra pressure of finals it seems the Lakers are going from a team to an individual mentality. There are two possible reasons for this, the first, as individuals they are just trying too hard, playing harder not smarter and forgeting that old addage that a basketball team is like a hand, five fingers working together forming a fist.

The second (more likely) reason is pure arrogance. That players have stopped doing team things, the 1%ers, when the game is tight, the individual arrogance of their star is taking its toll.

Another thing in the celtics favour- the new ref scandal. In the good old days before we discovered stern has been rigging games, we would see the Lakers win the next two games with Kobe scoring 40+ in each (8/22 fg, 20/22 ft) and the game 7 would rate through the roof. We would of been none the wiser.

Unluckily for the Lakers the refs are going to have to be straight down the line as they will be scrutinised more than ever.

A deciding factor in the series could be the type of games the refs now call. If they begin to get real strict it could cause problems for the Celtic defence and play into the soft Lakers hands..
