Lakers and Celtics Gear Up For the Challenge

One of the oldest rivalries is about to spark up between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics.  In their last meeting in the NBA finals the Lakers trounced the Celtics-but it’s anyone’s game this time around.  The best of seven games that kicks off tomorrow night will be the 11th time that the two teams have faced each other for the NBA crown.  Boston won eight of their record 16 titles against the Lakers, although LA won the last of two of their encounters in the NBA showpiece in both 1985 and 1987.

The Celtics have actually not been champions since 1986 but they are seeking to get off to a good start tomorrow night.  Both teams have extreme talents on the court and boast some amazing players who know how to maneuver around the court.  Both Pierce and Bryant are experienced and know how to really challenge their opposing team.  Make sure to join in the excitement with your very own pair of Los Angeles Lakers tickets from stubhub.com.
