NBA Tonight

Tonight the Lakers and the Celtics are both looking to close out their series in Game 6 for both of them. I think that the Lakers are most likely to win their game tonight with the Rockets missing their best player Yao Ming. However, as this does sound bad for the Rockets they did take Game 4 from the Lakers without him when they blew LA out, but then they got blown out the next game by about 30 points. Another thing that the Lakers have going for them is having one the best players in the NBA, Kobe Bryant. If the Rockets are to force a Game 7 tonight Artest and Battier are going to need to have big games and show alot of leadership with Yao being out. In the other series left, Boston v. Orlando, i think that the Celtics should pull off a victory tonight. The number one reason is because they are the NBA defending champions right now and are so until beaten. They also have a lot of experience which should help them in later games of the series. I also like the momentum that the Celtics have coming into this game with a buzzer beater win in Game 5 compliments of Glen "Big Baby" Davis. However, the Celtics are going to need to come to play and Paul Pierce is going to need to have a big game and take the big shots. The Magic however are a tough team and can come out shooting any night and also have the defensive player of the year in Dwight Howard.
