Pacers coach Jim O'Brien, who coached his team against the Lakers and Celtics on back-to-back nights, believes that we could see a repeat of the NBA Finals next June.

"They really had too many weapons for us tonight. [Rajon] Rondo had a great game. We just didn't have enough to beat them," O'Brien said after Wednesday's night 114-96 loss to Boston.

"They are awfully difficult to beat," O'Brien said of the Celtics, who beat the Lakers for last season's NBA Title.

The Pacers defeated the Lakers on a last-second tip by Troy Murphy on Tuesday night.

"They are two of better teams in the league," O'Brien said of Boston and Los Angeles. "Boston proved they are the best, and the Lakers want to take that away from them.

"It's not out of the realm of possibility that the two of them could be in the Finals again this year."
