Will the Lakers and the Celtics Face Off In the Finals?

The Los Angeles Lakers-Boston Celtics Rivalry is one of the fiercest in the NBA, and news sources and bloggers everywhere are already predicting that the two teams may face off in this season’s NBA Finals. The Celtics have made some good decisions in the offseason and Kevin Garnett is healthy, but the Lakers have made some big moves as well. Despite losing Trevor Ariza, Los Angeles signed former Houston Rockets forward Ron Artest, who will be used as a replacement to Ariza at small forward. And, who could forget, the Lakers resigned Lamar Odom.

Says Josh Dhani of MVN.com, “It seems that no other team can compete the way these two will this season. The Orlando Magic may be close for this year after trading for New Jersey Nets’ Vince Carter to fill in for Hedro Turkoglu. But they won’t pass by Boston this year in the Eastern Conference. Why so? well, last year’s playoffs explains it all.”
