NBA FINALS - LA Lakers at Boston Celtics - Who will win on Thursday, June 5?

Settled as Boston Celtics win

http://www.nba.com/games/20080605/LALBOS/gameinfo.html

Background:

I dont think we could have asked for a better NBA Finals matchup. It comes down to the Celtics and Lakers. A great reminder of their fierce rivalry in the 80s when names like Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parish dominated. It should be a great series. Who will win Game 1?

Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

espn.com and nba.com have posted June 5 as first game of the finals, but nba.com has in parenthesis that game possibly moved up to June 3. If this is the case can you simply edit question instead of void and remake.
Thanks.
