I like your thinking! The Lakers scare me, but the Celtics really handled them easily during the year, but of course that was a different Laker team. And the Celtics are a different team than they were a week ago. The truth is I don't really have a feel for this series, and the Lakers have "a guy" like the Cavs did, which creates issues, and Gasol is for real. But I actually will go out on a limb and say I think you are right - Celtics in 5 - because I think the Celtics are hitting a groove and the last two games will turn out to be the first two of several games where the Celtics finally got on a roll like they did during the season when they just ate everyone up.

But I could also see this going seven. But in the end, I think the Celtics are just better than the other teams and finally are starting to believe it, and they have desperate veterans playing urgently like this is the most important thing in the world, whereas the Lakers aren't as desperate and maybe just a little to cool and young. I think the old guys will just want this too bad to let the Lakers even get a footing in the series.

We'll see................................
