Lakers vs Celtics. With the revival of the Celtics and the Lakers as winning teams I would like to see the rival renewed in the NBA Finals.

I thought the charging call in Game 5 was suspect but I don't think it extends beyond the usual preferential treatment for star players. If the NBA was really pulling the strings in an effort to get certain players or teams into the NBA Finals, they could be doing a much better job of it.

Perhaps. In any case, I don't think anything is going on beyond the usual preferential treatment.

I wish Rondo would always play like that, he has almost regisered a triple-double twice in the last two days, he was just missing 1 rebound and 2 assists. I voted Lakers-Celtics.

I wouldn't mind a Spurs/Pistons Finals if it was as competitive as the final three games in the 2005 series.

Spurs-Pistons:
Because I have a per game bet for the Pistons to beat the Celtics and the winnings become doubled if Detroit wins the series.
Spurs because I'm a Laker hater. Not a Kobe hater though just to be clear.

I also prefer:

Spurs-Celtics:
A backup betting scenario if the Pistons lose to the Celtics and I hope the Spurs make it so I can win back my losses, (or double my losses if the Spurs lose to the Celts :|)
Not wanting to see the Lakers in the Finals (see above).

Basically, my preferences are for betting purposes. Ka-ching.

YAY! I know we will be good buddies. Been a Laker hater since the 2004 Playoffs. (Y)

Any preference will do, so long as the Lakers ain't there.

I want to see a Celtics/Lakers match, even though i am a Laker Hater, i am more of a Spurs hater. They have already won 4 championship in the last 9 years, enough already and they have many floopers in there. A Celtics/Lakers one is a favorable one so i have to go for it and they are the top 2 teams on each conference that make them favorable to go to the finals

I've despised the Lakers for about 10 years, I don't mind if anyone wins as long as it's not them...
