Truth be told I really have only been a Laker fan since i moved here about 6 years ago now, its hard not to get behind the home team, and honestly ivebeen a Kobe fan since day 1 so i think it was naturally going to happen. It has been special watching him go through this past few years problems, getting theshaft on the MVP (IMO) a couple times and now finally into a position where he might get another ring on his own. Growing up, i actually was a huge Celtic fan(My dads team) so seeing a Celtic/Lakers Finals match-up would be amazing, and i would be attending at least 2 games of that series, so naturally thats what impushing for. So right now im definitely double rooting right now, come to the finals, im going to be torn, already have joked around about possibly sewing aceltiic and a lakers jersey together for the first game i attend.
im not understanding you as all three of the big 3 played well and they still lost.....at home....
Roscoe P Wallace:
Now, I'm just sayin.... STATISTICALLY the Pistons just won this series (Celts 0-6 on the road)
While I know it makes sense to believe that, I can't. I think it's important for the teams with homecourt advantage (Lakers, Celtics) towin a game or two in S.A./DET, because I think the teams without homecourt advantage (Pistons, Spurs) WILL win a game or two in L.A./BOS.
Obviously, DET has already won in BOS, so saying that they will win a game in BOS is pointing out the obvious. I'm just saying, at the beginning of each ofthese series, I had a feeling that L.A./BOS would not be perfect at home. So it's like, for ME, I was looking at DET/S.A. as having homecourt advantage.
Know what I mean?

SCuse7:
I think I get it. You knew they would split one at the team with homecourt advantage. That makes it with them having the homecourt now.
Correct.
See, in the BOS/DET series, Detroit has homecourt advantage (H.A.) now. If they win all of their home games in DET and lose the remaining games in BOS,they'll win the series.
And I expect the same to happen in the S.A./LAL series. I have a feeling S.A. will win one in L.A. Tonight? I don't know. Maybe not. Maybe they'll winin L.A. next Thursday, Game 5, which would mean that (if the series was 2-2 at that point, with each team winning their home games), then they would havehomecourt advantage for the next game. They would be up3-2 going into S.A. for game 6.
That's how I looked at each series from the beginning. I looked at them like 'Well, DET and S.A. are definitely, no question about it, absolutely goingto win in BOS and L.A., unlike the previous opponents. So technically, BOS and S.A. have homecourt advantage.'
