Okay great, The Boston Celtics won the NBA Finals to cap off the best year for sports in one city ever. Too bad the Patriots lost.
Woo. What a great story, huh? The Big Three finally get their rings. So deserved? As my Kazakh friend might say, “This story is great NOT.”
The Celtics beat a team who didn’t show up for the Finals. A team that played with so much confidence in beating the Spurs, the defending champions. The Lakers played their worst game of the year in a game they HAD to win. So you know what I say to Boston? Enjoy the moment because you will never have an easier road to a championship.
You weren’t even that good until the conference finals. You couldn’t beat two inferior teams on the road. I mean going 7 games against the Atlanta Hawks and the Lebrons? You guys played like the Lakers in the finals against those two teams. Enjoy the moment Boston, you will never “win” a championship with the Big Three again.
When the Lakers are truly the Lakers, and not missing their second best player you will not have a chance Boston. Add a healthy Andrew Bynum, subtract Vladamir Radmonovic from the starting lineup and add a year of experience to a Lakers team that Phil Jackson referred to as “young and stupid” and you have a scary team.
Enjoy the moment Boston, because next time won’t be so easy.
