Looks like a rematch is on. The Lakers beat the Suns yesterday, 111-103, to win the series, 4-2. "How Surprising." The Lakers get to the finals. Who could have predicted this? Maybe little Orphan Annie considering she made the other bold predication saying the Sun will come out tomorrow. This is the reason I hate covering the NBA playoffs. I already know one half of the NBA Finals already. Any analyst that gave any other team in the West a chance was simply trying to fool themselves or influence the odds in Vegas.
The real competition begins now for the Lakers as they will face their NBA Finals opponent of two years ago, the Boston Celtics. The Celtics manage to win that series, 4-2, what with KG, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen wanting a title so badly before they checked in to a retirement home. I will give the Lakers the edge but the Celtics do have a legitimate chance at an upset. The Past Two NBA Champions will play game one on Thursday.
P.S. No, I haven't watched any of the NBA Playoffs and for good reasons too. One: Hockey was on. That is actual news. So many twists and turns that keep the whole thing interesting. Two: I'm tired of watching Basketball. As I said, I'd rather suck at the game than watch the game. Plus the NCAA Tournament is so much better. And Three: Red Dead Redemption is still addicting.
P.P.S. Yes, I watched game one of the Stanley Cup Finals. Chicago wins a wild one, 6-5, to take a 1-0 lead.
