2008 NBA Finals Review
Now that we have the greatest rivalry in NBA history, the Boston Celtics vs. the Los Angeles Lakers, back on our doorstep for the 2008 NBA Finals starting this Thursday, let’s take a look at the keys to the series and my prediction for who will be your eventual NBA Champion.
Winning Keys to the 2008 NBA Finals
- Both teams have had home court advantage in each series up until this point.
- Will one of the toughest defenses in the NBA this year find a way to slow down the one-two offensive punch of Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.
- The Celtics dominated the Lakers this year in their two regular season match ups.
- Can Derek Fisher guard Rajon Rondo off the bounce? Fisher is a great on the ball defender, but Rajon Rondo is an exceptional talent taking the ball to the hoop.
- Who will guard Kobe and who will guard Pierce?
- Who will guard Kevin Garnett?
The truth is we could go on and on with about 1000 keys to this series, but in the end it is going to come down to who steps up in the clutch. Which team will make the crucial plays in the closing minutes of each game to secure a win for their team? Don’t kid yourself into believing this series will be lopsided in either direction. This one will most likely go 6 or 7 games, with neither team wanting to give even an inch.
