The L.A. Lakers have to win Game 5 or their championship dream is over, and if Kobe Bryant is correct, the Celtics will not be showered in champagne in 24 hours' time, the Associated Press is reporting.

"The series ain't over," Bryant said. "It's far from over."

After surrendering a 24 point lead in Game 4, and a shot at tying the series at 2-2, the Lakers must now win at home on Sunday night before winning twice in Boston.

No team has ever came back from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals nor have they won games 6 and 7 on the road since the league switched to the 2-3-2 format in 1985.

I can see the Lakers winning two straight.

I don't see it... They are done.. Gasol is as soft as they come... They haven't been able to win 2 in a row in this series yet... Nothing will change... If they win tonight. The Celtics will finish them off at home Tuesday...

I say it is the weakminded cats that do not want to feel the pressure...

is that you, steve hartman?

for those not in southern california, steve hartman is a fakers radio shill (co-host with mychal thompson and vic jacobs, together on talk radio show loose cannons) who predicted that the series would go 7 games because the league "fixed" it in order to garner more ratings.

I told you that the Laker can win 2 games..one from the officiating, and the second from Kobe having a big night. (He's due one per series.) Now Game 3 I think was his big game. Not to mention the injuries to the Celtics concern me now. They need to end this TONIGHT.
