I'll tell one thing that has surprised me, and that's how good Lopez is. I never realized how big he is, and he's always around the ball. That was definitely a good draft for the Suns.

If they didn't have such a cheapskate owner, they'd definitely have a championship by now.

Boston looks like they REALLY want to choke this series away. Is it possible that Orlando will oblige?

How 'bout Pietrus and Reddick each getting as many minutes as Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis? That's some nice adjusting by SVG.
Boston better go up early in game 6 or that home crowd is going to get reeeal tight (or is that just Cleveland crowds?).

After all the trash he's talked about NY blowing a 3-0 lead, it would be hilarious if Boston did the same thing.

Forgot the Bruins just did it. Two Boston teams blowing three nil leads in less than two weeks. Hilarious.

I'm going with LA in 6. Should be a really good series. I think Rondo is going to destroy Fisher but other than that Lakers will prevail.
For the record, I'm sickened that one of these teams has to win.

Boston in 5. The slow, plodding, big Celtics are probably the worst possible matchup for the slow, plodding, big Lakers.

The Lakers' best player the first two games of this series has been Pau Gasol, and it hasn't been that close.
Now, I realize that if the Lakers win the series, Kobe could go 5-148 and still win the MVP.
But, it is a fun thought experiment to think the following:
Would Kobe rather lose the series than the Lakers win and NOT being named Finals MVP?

Kobe doesn't strike me as someone who cares about finals MVP, as long as he has the ring. But who knows.
On another note, Artest should in no way, shape or form be involved in offensive possessions in close games except to set screens and crash boards. Watching him dribble and shoot is scary, and I'm not even a Laker fan.

I'll say what I said when they acquired him: he's not there to be a part of the offense (note: I probably didn't actually say that).
And I absolutely think Kobe cares about that. I don't think he'd rather lose the finals, but I think there would be some friction if Gasol won finals MVP. And in the 2011 Finals Kobe would shoot 30 times a game.

Yeah I guess so, I don't know. What I do know is the Lakers won crap after losing Shaq until they got Gasol. So If he does win it, Kobe should just shut up and smile. As great as he is, he needs Gasol.

Did Shaq win all the Finals MVPs during their 3-peat? Cause that would be pretty interesting if Kobe won five rings and only one finals MVP. Pretty damning in fact. Almost worse than winning, say 3 rings and 3 finals MVPs.
