The Lakers made it to the finals, but against the Orlando Magic instead. The Lakers won the NBA championship.
That's up to your personal opinion:In 2010-2011, the edge goes to the Lakers. They have won more games against the Celtics, which indicates that they're better. They have also won more championships over the last 20 years, while the Celtics glory years date to the 1960s and 1980s. After losing in 2008, the Lakers topped the Celtics in 2010. The Lakers also reach the finals more than the Celtics do. Overall, the Lakers are better now especially because Shaq retired in 2011.Celtics won a game, and then got out, but the Lakers lost all without winning.Boston Celtics Because they have more titles than the L.A. Lakers.Lakers because more championships against the Celtics and they have Kobe Bryant.
yes
The Lakers went to the NBA Finals seven times in the 1980's.
Boston Celtics
History repeats itself. These two rival team have accumulated all the experience they need to reach the NBA finals. Though they still need to pass through the conference finals with a very competitive teams, it's very much possible for the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers to face each other in the NBA finals this year. It would be a battle of veterans, experience, perseverance and teamwork and would be the best match up of the year.
Pau Gasol was the Spaniard to reach the NBA Finals. He is from Barcelona, Spain and the 3rd 1st round pick of the 2001 NBA draft. In 2002, he won the Rookie of the Year award. He is currently playing center for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The New York Knicks made it to the finals in 1999. They were the first No. 8 seed in history to reach the NBA Finals.
He won all seven of his finals.
The Detroit Pistons famously did it against the Orlando Magic in (I believe) 2003. Tracy McGrady commented that it felt great to finally reach the 2nd round, though the Magic only led 3-1 (JINX!). Tayshaun Prince cemented his reputation as one of the best SF defenders in the league by slowing McGrady for the next 3 games and helping to win the series.
