Top 5 Reason Why The Lakers Will WIN Game 6!!!

5.  The Boston backcout of Allen, House ,Rondo, Cassell will fall short matching up against Bryant,Fisher,Farmer.

4. The Lakers have not played a good 48 minute game yet in the Finals.  Look for this top seed in the Western Conference to finally have play a top notch 48 minute game.

3. Kendrick Perkins is hurt.  Perkins has been a key player for the Celtics.  Espcially when it comes to the inside defense.  The Celtics don’t rebound like they suppose to.  Game 5 the Celitcs got out rebounded that has never happened and that was due to Kendrick Perkins, being out.

2.  Kobe Bryant will have that show out game.  Bryant will have a NBA Finals game for the ages.  Bryant is due.  Bryant is the closes player to Jordan.  Look for Bryant to score 45 or better.

1. The biggest reason why the Lakers will win.  The Boston Celtics will have all the pressure on them.  It’s been since 1986 since they’ve won a title. Look for all the old greats to be there.  Russell,Cousy,Bird etc.  The 2007/08 Celitcs will feel the pressure and will play tight.  Thats why look for the Lakers to win in overtime and force a game 7.
