The Lakers vs. Celtics...Game of the Season 2

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:
