Lakers guard Kobe Bryant hopes to not only reach the NBA Finals once again, but to face the Celtics for the second-straight year.

"Of course, [I want Boston]," Bryant said. "If you see a guy that you fought at lunchtime and he knocked you out, oh, I'm coming back the next day. I don't want the little 4-foot guy. I want the big football player, that's what I want."

Bryant isn't the only one who wants to face Boston next June.

"You always want to play against the team you lost to. They're a heck of a team. I would love to play against Boston, personally," Lamar Odom said.
