The 2008 NBA Finals are almost here!
The Pistons, the Celtics, the Lakers and the Spurs.
Those teams are your FINAL FOUR in what has been an intriguing 2008 NBA playoffs. Two teams in Boston and L.A. have rediscovered the winning form from their past while two teams in Detroit and San Antonio will look to continue their dominance of the present era.
Let’s start with the 2008 NBA Eastern Conference Finals series between Detroit and Boston. The Celtics came into this series still perfect at home in the playoffs. And while that is impressive, their dominance at home is being overshadowed by their poor performance on the road.
When the Boston Celtics lost Game 2 to the Pistons, their once indestructible homestand, all of a sudden, was destroyed after Detroit won a playoff game in a place where many have failed. The Celtics just dropped a game at home.
The Detroit Pistons, all of a sudden, pushed the Celtics to do something they’ve never done in the postseason, win a game away from Boston. After Game 3’s convincing win for the Celtics, KG, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce silenced their critics and finally won their first road game of the 2008 NBA playoffs.
As of press time, this best-of-seven series has Boston leading 3-2. Who’ll advance? There’s only one way to find out.
Looking at the 2008 NBA Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Spurs, Los Angeles jumped on the defending champs right from the get-go as they took care of business at home to take an early 2-0 lead in this series.
The Los Angeles Lakers now look primed to advance to the NBA finals because of the mere fact that ONLY 14 of the 222 teams that lost the first two games in a best-of-seven NBA playoff series have come back to win it.
The problem there is, the San Antonio Spurs have done it against New Orleans, in this VERY playoffs.
As of press time, the Lakers are on theverge of advancing to the NBA Finals with them up 3-1. Tinseltown is merely a win away from the promise land once again.
