The Finals, Game 2: Los Angeles Lakers @ Boston Celtics

Well, the Boston Celtics look to jump out to a two game lead, if they can win Game 2 of The Finals of the NBA tonight at the Boston Garden? The game will be on ABC tonight, 8 pm Central. Will forward Paul Pierce be able to start, despite the injury he incurred in Game 1?

What answers do the Los Angles Lakers have for the Boston Celtics solid defense, especially in the 4th period of Game 1?

The NBA Finals will switch to Los Angeles after Game 2, in the 2 + 3 + 2 home/road/home format that provides the Celtics 4 home, 3 away, if the series goes to 7 games, in the best-of-7 NBA Finals.

The Boston Celtics lead the series 1-0, after winning in Boston, Thursday Night, in game 1, by the score of 98-88. The Celtics are 8-2 lifetime in Championships head to head over the Lakers. Though, the Lakers have won two straight, after starting off 0-8 vs. the Celtics, lifetime.

2008: The Best Championship Match Up in NBA History Revisited

2008 NBA Finals

Game 1

From Boston

It is great to see the the Best Championship Match Up in NBA history return to the Court for The Finals of 2008. I haven't followed the NBA too closely the last several years, but with the Lakers vs. Celtics on tap... I'll be viewing in on this one.

ABC and the NBA have a match made in heaven. The 11th meeting in The Finals of Boston vs. Los Angeles. The Celtics won the first 8, while the Lakers have taken the last 2.

Bill Russell and Magic Johnson in the audience. Highlights of prior court match ups interlinked between the game. It will be a nice venue for the past to meet the present. The past clearly has many of the best of the best. The current have the NBA's best player, along with the NBA's best defender. Coach Phil Jackson's Lakers vs. Coach Doc Rivers... awesome!

As a life long Lakers fan, I can still find some appreciation for what Boston has been able to accomplish, in this great rivalry, it's great to see the match up return. Now, let's make it three straight Lakers!

8:00 pm Central Time: the Boston Celtics vs. the Los Angeles Lakers...
