Lakers in 6........

That's my prediction for the Western Conference Finals. I did have this whole prediction written out, but most of it turned out to be untrue. The only things that were correct are that the Lakers are younger, and that the Lakers have meaningful playoff experience. That experience showed tonight, as the Lakers overcame a 20-point deficit to win 89-85. That experience will allow them to advance to the NBA Finals.

Where they will meet the Boston Celtics. Having the home court advantage really will help Boston. The injury to Chauncey Billups will slow him down at least until Game 3. Not getting a split of the first two games will prove to be the difference.

Lakers-Celtics, now that's a NBA Finals match-up I can get excited about.
