Who Do the Lakers Want in the Finals?


There will be a new champion in the NBA this season.

The Los Angeles Lakers wrapped up the Western Conference Finals on Thursday, rallying from a 17-point deficit to dethrone the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5, 100-92.

The Lakers could find out who their NBA Finals opponent tonight if the Celtics can get past the Pistons in Game 6.

So who would the Lakers rather face?

Boston went 25-5 against the West this season. Detroit went 22-8. Both Eastern Conference teams will have home court in the playoffs as well, although the series format will be a bit different going the 2-3-2 variety. Either way it’ll be a tough draw for the Lakers, especially if the home team holds serve and goes up 0-2. That would almost certainly mean the Lakers would have to sweep the three home games. Good thing for Lakers fans is L.A. hasn’t lost at home in the playoffs.

Although the Pistons would be fun to payback for the beating LA took from them a few years ago. I think they can handle the Celtics better. Although I really only care about an LA Boston match up.

All will be enertaining. My early prediction is this series is going down to the wire whom ever they face.

Not having home court will definitely hurt the Lake Show.
