Kobe is awesome but Lakers has only him to rely on. On contrary, if you look to the Boston rosters, you'll find Pierce, Garnett and so on. I don't think it will be again like the repeat final of Dallas vs Miami few years back. But what I think is that Boston is the NBA champion of 2008 and I don't mean to say that I don't like the Lakers. Anyway, I am being logical as I am comparing the rosters of both the team.
