The last time the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers met in the NBA Finals, it was 1987, a series that was won by the Lakers four games to two.

This time, when these two teams meet to battle it out for the title, the result will be somewhat similar.

It will go seven games, in what will be a historical series and one that the NBA desperately needs, and the Lakers will win it all.But wait, there's still eight teams left in the playoffs, including teams with names like Hornets, Jazz and Pistons. True, but as the Rock would say, "It doesn't matter what your name is."

Those teams were done before the season even started. It's going to be the Lakers against the Celtics.

Kobe Bryant is, by a mile, the best player in the league and he is having the best season of his career, winning his first league MVP award.

Yeah, the Big Three, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, are very impressive for Boston.

But don't forget the Lakers also have Lamar Odom, who averaged around a double-double per game, and Derek Fisher, who can always be counted on in the clutch.

Also, playoff experience will favor the Lakers.
