Will the No. 1 NBA Seeds (Lakers, Celtics) Make it to the Next Round?
Written by Jay on May 16, 2008 – -
Forget the Pistons, the Magic, the Spurs, the Hornets… my question is “will the number 1 seeds make it past the second round?” And secondly, will the Lakers and Celtics make it the finals for a 1980’s flashback? Larry Bird versus Magic Johnson days but it’ll be Kobe versus Kevin… but it doesn’t look too good for either team.
Take the Boston Celtics (my hometown), yes they are winning 3-2 in the 7-game series against the Clevelan Cavs but that is pretty deceiving. Why? Well, they haven’t won a road game in the playoffs!
Don’t get me wrong, technically, they don’t need to because they have home-court advantage throughout the playoffs because they had the best record in the regular season but if they happen to lose that one game at home, there goes their chances.
Now, the Lakers. Same thing like the Celtics, they are up 3-2 in the 7-game series against the Utah Jazz but Mr. MVP Kobe Bryant is not playing 100 percent. Don’t get me wrong, it didn’t stop him in game 5!
Tonight, both the Celtics and Lakers are playing game 6 on their opponents court, honestly, I’m hoping they win. Personally, I don’t care if the Lakers win but I definitely want to Celtics to win, even though I’m a Lebron James fan.
So, let’s go Celtics!
Oh, and I have a feeling the San Antonio Spurs might come through in game 7 against the Hornets. I mean, there’s a reason why they have won 4 championships in the last 9 years. Plus, the Hornets are a young team and Chris Paul simply can’t do it all by himself!

I think the Lakers have a far better chance to make it to the finals then the Celtics. The Celtics played great all year, but are now playing like an old team, who might have run out of gas!
