In probably 6 games.
I don't like Kobe or the Lakers but I think they're a little better than Boston. LA had a tougher road: Denver, Utah, and San Antonio and they were never pushed past 6 games. Boston was pushed to 7 games by Atlanta and Cleveland. They were more impressive against Detroit.
I see a couple of x factors:
1) Phil Jackson. No question he will be a better coach in this series than Doc Rivers.
2) Kobe Bryant. He's a true go-to guy who can take control and close out games. He's the closest player to Jordan that I've seen since Michael retired. Garnett is a great player but not really the closer or game changer that Kobe is.
It will be a good series and has some interesting storylines. I see LA splitting in Boston then getting 2 of 3 in LA. Then I think LA will come up big in Game 6 not wanting to play a Game 7 on the road where anything can happen.
