All of the above games will be televised on ABC for the 2010 NBA Finals. For the season, the Lakers hold a record of 57-25 and hold the homecourt advantage in the series against the Celtics who finished the regular season at 50-32.
Most of the team players are the same from a few years ago, however the Lakers will have the services of two key players, Ron Artest and Andrew Bynum, who did not play in the previous Finals against Boston. Boston went on to win the Championship two seasons ago behind strong performances from the Big 3, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. The Celtics have added Rasheed Wallace and Nate Robinson among others for their extra talent on the court.
Kobe Bryant is looking to get a fifth ring while KG, Allen and Pierce are looking for their second. Boston will need to snag a win on the road out of the first two games, to give themselves the upperhand heading into three home games in Boston.
Who do you predict will win the Lakers Celtics NBA Finals 2010 series?
