Its another nerve breaking game today and I am really nervous for my favorite team the LAkers. I dont know if its possible that they will able to win this game but I am really hoping they would. Its kinda frustating if they lose. And if they lose then its giving a chance for the Bostons to taste victory since its their first time after so many years.

a lot of pressure on the lakers right now. but i believe they can win this game if gasol and odom will be consistent in contributing points the whole game.

Yes, i counting on gasol and odom coz last game the celtics were very careful with kobe and he was not able to penetrate.

Yes, thats what I also thought but, the desire of celtics to win this season is really great that even in the homecourts of LA they still won.

and another thing, i thought that the lakers have a deeper bench than boston but looks like they are being outscored by the bench of the boston

My take is that the pressure is on LA and they have to look at this obstacle right in the face. I don't know because honestly it's going to be tough for them. The two stories on the Lakers side have been can Kobe win a championship without Shaq and will Phil Jackson win his 10th ring becoming the all-time leader in championships won as a coach?

Wow, of course Kobe have new team mates to make it, but your questions will be answered after the season is over and I just dont expect too much from my team coz it really hard to win a game three in a row. The last game was good enough to extend the finals and I hope they can still hold on unil the last game.

Yesterdays game was a record breaking one and hopefully be able to break the nba record for the only team who survived 3-1 comeback and win the finals. Sounds impossible to me which means a lot of hard court action for the lakers. I know boston wont allow this to happen and im pretty sure the game 6 is a must see game, but so sad for me since im working and I only have the net for the latest update.

It's possible but it's not going to be easy. I think they said this on ESPN or I saw it on the site that nobody has ever come back in NBA finals history down 3-1 to win the series. Is it possible it can happen? Yes but the odds aren't very good. We shall see what happens next. If the Lakers get a lead, they should hold on to it and not give it away because if you let the Celtics in the game, they can stomp all over you just like that.

Wow, im really a solid lakers fan even when I was still in my gradeschool days. My all time favorite is Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Even though he is no longer playing with Lakers im still a lakers loyalist.

Well, I'm not much on basketball unless the Rockets were in it. But I see that the Lakers seem to refuse to give up. I don't know which team I would favor.

Well, the fighting spirit is on and the hope is with the team. They are really making it hard for the celtics to win this much awaited championship. Next game is a game to watch and im sure theres a lot of pressure on both teams.

Yes, my favorite team also. I hope they will make it this time, all they have to focus now is tot ake the game one game at a time and it really needs tough determination to do so.

Well last night's game was like a see saw, or how ever you spell it. The Lakers came out dominating the first few minutes of the game but then got too sloppy and lost their rhythm. Their defense was poor during the second and third quarter, like always. But after that "steal" (I quote it because it is arguable), that Kobe made they received the victory. Now they're heading to the Garden. Hope they can take it there. Lakers!

Yes, the steal was a turning point as if lowering the self esteem of Pierce which gave the lakers confidence and even a good dunk for Kobe.
