Celtics/Lakers Finals

[TabulaRasa]

Ok so I don't know how many of you keep up with the NBA but chances are if you live in the US you've heard about the Celtics and Lakers. If not then let me fill you in:

As of right now the Celtics are up 3 to 2 in game 6.
However, they are currently getting creamed by the lakers with almost a 20 point cushion for the Lakers.
Now history shows that 70% of the time the team that wins the first game wins it all, in this case that would be the Lakers. This is not pleasing to me as I am a resident of Boston for 75% of the year. I personally think the Celtics have a shot at this is they would get their act together in this game. I mean they're only trailed 1.7 in TOs and they are tied in FT% with the Lakers. I mean they're only trailing 6.6 in PPGs so I'm just really confused why they are choking!

Thoughts?

I'm not a huge fan of either team, but definitely not a fan of the Lakers, so I'm rooting for the Celtics. I think it has to do with getting mentally psyched out. In game 1, Doc Rivers had his players fork over their own money and stick it in the visiting team locker room so they had an extra incentive to come back to LA. Now that they're back, I just hope they're not running out of steam especially without home court advantage. In any case, Game 7 on Thursday should be hella exciting.
