Don’t want to hear SCassell’s championship experience talk. Bring back our rotation (EHouse/TA/LPowe)and this will be over in 4. ;)

Well, reading most of these articles the pressure is all on the Lakers. Good. Celtics will take advantage of that hopefully. Still it is nauseating reading about how the Celtics are the underdogs based on absolutely nothing but previous series. All I know is that each team has won the same amount to get here and have not lost a series (obvious, I know but to the media it is ignored)
