Reply #11: They just drained some fluid from Odom's knee.

So I give the Celtics the edge. Both teams are fascinating. Both teams have at least three quality starters, all-star level at least. Both teams have plenty of depth. Both teams have experience; the Lakers guards are 66 years old together (Fisher is 35, Bryant 31); Garnett and Pierce are also together 66 years old. Both teams have won before. Normally, with a younger frontcourt and home-court, I'd give it to the Lakers. But the fact that Odom is not at his best, and the improvement over the last couple years of Rajon Rondo, means I'll take Boston.

But no way does this series last fewer than six games, and I think it will go seven. Gonna be outstanding basketball, no doubt; there really should be more buzz on this series.
