Lakers are down but not out

In the shadow of the the FIFA World Cup, the NBA Finals are heating up as the series is heading back to Los Angeles.

The series has been a pattern as one team would win than the other team would win the following game and etc.

But now that pattern has been stopped as the Boston Celtics are the first team to win back to back games in the series.

The Los Angeles Lakers are now facing elimination for the first time in the postseason since the 2008 NBA Finals.

The Lakers are down 3-2 in the series but they are not discourage, because they have the final two games at home.

Now this series has been unpredictable with all the big performances by random players from both teams.

In Game 2 it was Rajon Rondo, Game 3 it was Derek Fisher, Game 4 it was Glen Davis and Nate Robinson and Game 5 it was Paul Pierce.

No game has been won by the big names like Kobe Bryant or Kevin Garnett.

But the prediction by NBA Experts like Jalen Rose are on target.

He and many other experts predicted the Lakers to win the title in seven games. They also said each team would win one game on the other team's floor.

Phil Jackson is 47-0 when winning Game 1 of a seven game series.

The Lakers won Game 1.

The winner of Game 3 after a series is tied at 1-1 in a 2-3-2 format goes on to win the title 100 percent.

The Lakers won Game 3.

It does not look like the Lakers are favorites to win at this moment, but they have all the odds with them to come back and win the title.

I predicted the Lakers in six, but I am confident they are going to win the final two games at Staples Center.

I am never going to lose hope.
