Celtics 109 - Lakers 103 / 2008 NBA Finals Game 2 Prediction

I did it for Game 1 so I figured I would do it for the rest of the Finals. I played the game out on XBOX 360 to serve as my prediction for Game 2. Survival of The Fittest by Mobb Deep serves as the backdrop.

that is too close! that's weird!

[snowpdx]

crazy close! real final was 108-102... off by 2 points?

I see your point but I just don't think they tried to drive enough in order to come to the conclusion that they weren't getting any calls. I agree the refs weren't that good overall but the C's got screwed on a couple of calls in the second half as well. Leon Powe came in and was aggressive going to the basket and got calls. That's what you've gotta do.

When a player realizes that they're not gonna call the fouls when you drive, it gives a powerful incentive to shoot the Jumper instead of taking it to the rim. By the same token, if you know that the refs are calling everything on the other end, you have a strong incentive to take more drives. My point is simply that the order of Cause-and-effect may not be as clear as you suggest.

I don't remember the Lakers taking it to the hoop very much. I am sure there were a few that were missed but they were shooting mostly jumpers. Powe was just being aggressive and getting rewarded.

Damn good call... I hesitated to put money on it...
