The Boston Celtics should have won game 6 and walked away with the NBA Final Championship but the Los Angeles Lakers fought hard and showed that they would give nothing away. In an amazingly tense match, the Lakers scored just 89 points but ended up beating the Celtics by a margin of 22 points, with the final score reading 89 to 67.

The Celtics looked tired and did not play like they really wanted to win the NBA Final Championship.  Credit must be given to Pau Gasol of the Lakers who ended up scoring 13 rebounds, 9 assists and 17 huge points.

If the Boston Celtics want to win the final game, they need to come out firing on all cylinders. They need to work out a better strategy to reduce the effectiveness of Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom.

Everyone knows that Kobe is a big match player and we can expect him to raise his game for the NBA final match. If Kobe gets off to a great start, the Celtics will be on the back foot and will find it extremely hard to get their hands on the championship.

The Lakers are 7 point favorite with a total over/under of 187.  Place your Bet Now!

The Celtics have lost some of their key players through injury including Kevin Garnett and Kendrick Perkins. Ironically, they will have to turn to the 35 year old Rasheed Wallace and hope he can create some magic for the Celtics in the NBA Final.

Ticket prices for game 7 have skyrocketed. Game 7 will be played at the Staples Center in celebrity studded Los Angeles to add the extra excitement to this NBA Final Championship game.

Game 7 of the NBA Finals starts at 9:00pm ET.
