During this years NBA Play-offs there was a lot of talk of conspiracies as well as the usual "Refs suck" thanks to Tim Donaghy and his expose' of crooked NBA officials.
There was no conspiracy. The NBA is not just one big choreographed production like a Harlem Globetrotters show.
There are way too many people involved for this to be a preplanned event. However if you are in denial over the Lakers loosing.......................Then that would be the only answer you could have that would explain everything and still excuse the Lakers for not winning.
The bottom line is that the #1 east team (Celtics) beat the #1 west team (Lakers) in the NBA Finals. Just check the final standings for the 2007/2008 season. The Lakers still needed that one extra threat that they didn't have, to get them over the hump. Perhaps next season they will get that player or two that they need.
To the Lakers and their fans..........Thanks for a hard fought series and good luck until we meet again in next years finals!
Well here we are two games completed in the NBA Finals and the Boston Celtics are now firmly in the driver seat. As I posted last week, before the series began, the 2-3-2 format still sucks........ If the Lakers had won one of the first two games, it would have given a tremendous advantage to them. In a world of Jet transportation there is no reason for a 2-3-2 finals, especially if your going to have three days between games like we just had. The 2-2-1-1-1 is the only fair format for both teams. This is the" NBA" a multi-million dollar industry it can afford this change. It's not like these two teams are riding on buses from game to game. Anyway I would also like to say that the Lakers showed a lot of heart in the fourth quarter making their run.........................As a Celtic fan I could see it coming, but I also thought that the Celtics would stop the bleeding somewhere around 8-10. I didn't expect it to drop to 2 that's for sure. To the Laker fans on Fox Sports Blogs I say good luck to your Lakers when they go back to LA. For the obnoxious Laker fans with the faceless avatars.....................It's time to change your predictions again!
The Cowboys and Laker fans have always been the same beaming with confidence before the big game(s)........Let me re-phrase that: The Cowboys and Laker fans have always been loud and obnoxious trash talkers before the big game(s) That's why there are Steelers and Celtic fans in the world to add balance and harmony to sports. These two teams have played out this same scenario eleven times over the past five decades and as always the boldness of the Laker fans have come to the front of the line. Just as before they will have the added burden of hoping that their team will win to back-up their words.
Anyway let me just say what I always say to a Cowboys or Laker fan just before the "Big Game or Series" begins..........Good Luck because your going to need it...........................LOL! Oh and buy the way ..............................I don't know if anyone out there agrees or not. But there shouldn't even be a 2-3-2 format in the play-offs because gives so much of an advantage to the team that wins on the road. 2-2-1-1-1 should be the format.................Yes the two teams are on opposite sides of the continent but give us a break that's why we have Jet Planes.
No, I am not worried about the Celtics loosing at home........But if the Lakers loose at home and go down 3-? then they will have to win in Boston.
Nervous Laker fans out there.................You must all realize that this is the worst scenario that could have happened. The Lakers do not match-up well against the Spurs with their multiple weapons. Yes the Spurs are old and that is the main argument in favor of the Lakers....But....Can Kobe score enough to win these games, will he have the back-up and will his back hold-up? This is the Western conference finals and they are playing against the World Champions. Still everyone is writing this series off and talking about an NBA finals series with Boston.................For me it's the best possible match-up as an East coast fan. So hold on tight it's because it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
What is it about the NBA and players with superstar status? How does an NBA official honestly go out and do his job? Is it sort of like a WWF approach to officiating? How is it that an NBA official can be seen with in 5 or 6 feet from a foul being committed and the whistle doesn't get blown. When it does get called, in many cases it even goes against the person who just got tattooed across the face. Much like a WWF ref would have his back turned as the "Animal" would hit his opponent with a chair. Almost each and every time that Lebron (King) James gets the ball he travels in one form or another....................Then there's the lowered shoulder on the way to the basket or the 4 step dunk. Talk about your over rated players......................This kid was being crowned King of the NBA six months after leaving high school. At a time where Kobe's reputation was being tarnished and David Stern was in need of a successor to "His Airness" Micheal Jordan. Even Shaq has his patented low post elbow to the throat spin move where he changes his pivot foot when he draws the double team. In all fairness to the NBA and their Vince McMahon trained officials...........................There must must be some kind of reasonable explanation as to why these referees look so much like homers. If they were blind, we could understand where the miscommunication came from, but in some cases a blind referee would have done a better job.
