Don't Panic asked in SportsBasketball · 9 years ago

Who was better in 2012; Lakers or Celtics?

Each team had a successful regular season in so far as they each made the playoffs and beyond that, the regular season has no importance.

Lakers got their asses handed to them in the second round to the team that later got destroyed by the Heat.

Celtics took the Heat to 7 games in the conference finals.

    Technically the C's were a better team this year... The big four in Boston proved that though they were up there in age that team basketball, is a sight to see and respect... The Lakers had Kobe... One team took it to the E.C.F against LBJ, Wade, Bosh and the rest of the Heat and the other was destroyed by the thunder... Kobe was a unfortunate casualty and needs to get out of L.A...

    Pre-All Star Break: Lakers

    Post-All Star Break: Celtics

    Season: Celtics

    Playoffs: Celtics

    Overall: Celtics

    Lakers were disappointing because of Pau Gasol's lack of efficiency, Andrew Bynums horrible attitude, lack of Lamar Odom (would've been good if he didn't get traded), lack of good point guard, lack of consistent big men, etc. The list gets longer. The only acceptable players were Kobe and maybe Artest. The rest of the Lakers have to get their act together.

    Boston did the best with what they had (after the break). I honestly don't think they could've done better. They just ran out of gas in the Miami series, and there was just no hope for them going on.

    Lol..... Celtics were NOT the better team this year...

    Lakers easily DESTROYED the Celtics in their 3 meetings, and blewout the Heat this year.

    Celtics only made it to the ECF because the Bulls were out..
