<p>As "High School Life" is not necessarily supposed to be school-centered, I have to ask the question: Who do you want to win the NBA Finals? I grew up in Orange County, and though I now live in Sacramento, I have always maintained my Laker pride. I am sooooo mad they lost tonight. They are down 3-1! I am desperately clinging to a thread of hope right now. GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>after tonight's game, ive officially jumped on the celtics bandwagon. that was probably one the best comebacks ive ever seen and i watch a lot of basketball.</p>
<p>Celtics.</p>
<p>As a Suns fan there is no way I can root for the Lakers.</p>
<p>There was a game tonight? Oh well...</p>
<p>I'll say Celtics, mainly because I'm not a Kobe fan...</p>
<p>CELTICS.
lakers are trashh
celtics are the trash collectors</p>
<p>ur all just a bunch of bandwagon people
i mean realistically speaking, i dont think the lakers can come back from this but i remain a true, diehard laker fan</p>
<p>Lakers... anything else this town is asking to get stabbed.</p>
<p>As someone who lives in Southern California. I can honestly say there is a lot of Hate for the Lakers here (I'm one of them). Maybe we were jealous, but whatever. Go Celtics.</p>
<p>At first I didn't care either way, but now I must say that it's really looking like the Celtics have this one. They've done a cleaner, much better job overall in my opinion.. so I've started to root for them :P</p>
<p>I don't think the Lakers can beat the Celtics and the referees, so I'll say the Celtics are going to win. That being said, go Lakers.</p>
<p>But basketball sucks to watch, because the referees call games so pathetically poorly its obvious they are biased.</p>
<p>I'm rooting for the Celtics because I hate Kobe. Go Celtics!!</p>
<p>Lakers are the new Yankees.</p>
<p>I discovered my love for basketball via watching the Lakers in the 2000 NBA Finals as an eight year-old...so I remain and Kobe and Laker fan for life.</p>
<p>Down 3-1, it's a steep hill to climb. But there's always a part of me that tells me that they can do it.</p>
<p>Hey, the Suns did it two years ago.</p>
<p>I have entered a depression that will soon end once the Lakers DOMINATE the Celtics.</p>
<p>It's crazy, just like after the chargers lost, when the Lakers lost I actually felt my body shrug. It sucks. HATE THE CELTICS AND THE STINKING CHEATING LYING BILL-BELLICHECKING PATRIOTS.</p>
<p>And thus we see the badness of Massachusetts manifest in athletics.</p>
<p>Celtics of course. Raise your hand if you watched Ray Allen literally take a **** on the lakers defense last night!</p>

<p>Damn, how did they lose?</p>
<p>They have no chance now, unless they win 3 games in a row including 2 in Boston.</p>

<p>No, it's true. I'm a die-hard Pistons fan who could careless who won, and it was obvious who the refs were rooting for.</p>

<p>I'm also a die-hard pistons fan.....but, If anyone seriously thinks that Boston is winning because of help from the refs go sit on your head and turn off your TV. They have 3 hall of famers on their team, they ARE going to win. They were going to win since the first game of this season, it was pretty damn obvious.</p>
<p>Sorry, but when one team shoots 38 free throws and the other 10, it is not a result of disparate skill or play styles. It is the reult of poor, and biased refereeing.</p>

</p>
<p>Well, we weren't playing a very good team back then...</p>
<p>Lol just kidding.</p>
<p>But still, all the Lakers had back then were Kobe and the soft Odom... and of course, Kwame Brown :)</p>
<p>I think that this years Lakers face a much steeper climb in trying to come back.</p>
<p>Too bad they have it in the bag for the next 4 years or so once Bynum recovers.</p>
