Playoff Poll: The 2010 NBA Finals

Well PTR faithful, the NBA Finals are upon us once again. Lakers and Celtics. There is not a more storied rivalry in the history of the NBA, and one could argue, in all of professional sports. We all know the history, I will keep this brief. 11 times these two teams have played eachother in the Finals, with Boston winning 9. LA won for the first time in 1985, and again in '87. The Celtics won the most recent matchup in 2008.

The cast of characters over the years is too scary to name, but here are a few: Magic, Larry, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Coach Red Auerbach, Cousy, McHale, Rambis, AC Green, Byron Scott, Parish, Kareem, Big Game James Worthy, Kobe, Pierce, KG, Ray, Fish. From Rondo to Hondo. JoJo White, Cornbread Maxwell, DJ, Ainge, Walton. I'm know there's more. All of those retired numbers. This is what rivalries are made of.

Another chapter will be added this year, and another banner hoisted. We know how each team got here. LA has home court advantage. Who gets it done?
