The 2010 NBA Finals will begin on Thursday, June 3rd. The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers will meet once again. This is by far the most historic rivalry in the history of the NBA. This is by far the most historic rivalry in the history of the NBA. While every game that the Celtics and Lakers play is historic in some way, this series is especially important since it will decide the 2010 NBA Champions.

It had grown dormant since the retirement of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, while the Celtics and Lakers rivalry has been going on since the Lakers were still in Minneapolis. When the Celtics defeated the Lakers in the Finals, the rivalry was renewed in 2008. The Lakers and Celtics played each other twice in the 2009-2010 regular season, with each team winning one game.

With a wave of momentum, both teams come into this series. The Celtics did the same with Orlando and the Lakers beat Phoenix in 6 games. The key for Boston is to figure out a way to stop Kobe Bryant, who had 37 points in his last game. Lakers need to slow down Paul Pierce, who had 31 points in his last game, and Rajon Rando, who is always a threat.

This year’s Finals will provide great games and plenty of intensity, the only thing that can be known for sure. A series between the Lakers and Celtics never disappoints, it should lead to plenty of excitement, and with both teams coming in with momentum on their side.
