The Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics have shown that they deserve the two Finals spots. The Boston Celtics have so far won two game and the Lakers one. The Celtics fans have had their moments of glory when the Celtics won the first two games. Then the tables were turned when the Lakers won....and the Lakers fans were basking in their moment of glory. There are many people saying that no matter what...the Celtics will win. History has shown that the Lakers and Celtics have faced each other. The statistics have also shown that the Celtics have a higher chance of winning the Finals. (That was extremely NERDY...I KNOW!!!!) The last games that the two teams faced each other in sums up to the Lakers winning only 2 out of the 11 games. The following was taken from a website:

The Lakers vs. Celtics...Game of the Season
The Lakers vs. Celtics has been the talk of the basketball playoffs. Even before the winners were determined, the Lakers and Celtics have been placed in the winner's spots by the audience. Even people who weren't Celtics or Lakers fans were almost positive that those two would win...shows how loyal they are doesn't it? But regardless of the audiences opinions...however right...are irrelevant because the teams are now in the finals. There have been contradicting terms from some fans.......I heard one person say that the Lakers were going to win... because the Celtics have a better chance... I don't know about you but I find that a little out of the ordinary. People can't seem to make up their mind about who is going to win...I, for one, think it will be the Lakers...not because I like them...just because their history with the Celtics has been bad...I think they might make a comeback this year...if not then at least they tried. These two teams have made their rivalry known to almost everybody. Lakers' Kobe Bryant and the Celtics' Big Three are the stars of each team. Will the four players carry their team or will they show that they can share some more?
