Tonight the defending 2009 NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers have a chance at redeeming themselves from their 2008 NBA championship loss against the Boston Celtics.
The 2010 Lakers roster has a chance to join Magic Johnson and the 1980’s Lakers as the only other Lakers squad to defeat the Boston Celtics in their long and storied history of NBA finals together. The Celtics and Lakers faced off in the NBA Finals 12 times, this being the 12th, with the Celtics winning 9 times and the Lakers only twice, tonight is the 12th title face off between the Lakers and Celtics, and it will either be Celtics tenth win in the Finals over the Lakers or Lakers winning their third title against the Celtics.
This game is going to be a tough one both teams know it’s do or die tonight, look for an exciting game and tons of drama. The Lakers need to stay consistent and build off the momentum of their dominant Tuesday win, and having the fans and home court advantage should encourage them more. The Celtics need to do what they have always done, dig deep and play great team ball in order to defeat the Lakers at home.
Kobe Bryant is looking to add title number 5 to his mantle and the Celtics stars Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and coach Doc Rivers are looking for their second NBA championship together.
Who takes it? The LA Lakers or the Boston Celtics.
One thing is for sure the LAPD will be out in full force to try and prevent any rioting from Lakers fans win or lose.
Game 7 of the NBA Finals airs tonight June 17 at Staples Center, 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET on ABC.
