Lakers in 5… BOOOOM
June 3rd, 2010
Tonight is the start of NBA Finals between the Lakers and Celtics… or how it is otherwise called “non-stop hightlights of the Celtics/Lakers rivalry over the past 50 years”. I am giddy for the Magic Johnson highlight reels that will be shown… like this one (This will 100% be the best 7 minutes of your day):
(This is awkward… I’m legit aroused after watching that. He was so G-D good. So much more entertaining than watching highlights of people just dunking.)
With that said… I am calling Lakers in 5. Here is my reasoning:
- Kobe > Everyone. Kobe wants to be the best Laker ever (and also the best player ever) and he can never become that without beating the Celtics. There is so much hatred between these two teams and Kobe needs to fix the catastrophe that was the 2008 Finals. Say what you want about Kobe as a person, but he wants to win and be great… that is all he cares about (unlike Lebron who just wants to Amaze)
- Pau Gasol > Kevin Garnett. This is not 2008 anymore. Kevin Garnett is a semi-factor for the Celtics but he could be the reason for their win/loss. If Pau Gasol works him this series, the Celtics have no chance but if KG gets SOME of his 2008 life back it will be a lot tougher for the Lake Show.
- Ron Artest > Being Sane. I friggin love this guy. From his ridiculously stupid 3-point attempt in Game 6 to his game winning put-back you literally have no idea what he is going to do. I love him for that. But seriously… what he brings to the Lakers that Trevor Ariza certainly wasn’t, is that tough as shit shut-down defender. Good luck with this series Pierce. You might as well start whining and bitching now.
- Lakers > Celtics. Lakers in 5. Mark it down.
Go Lake Show.
