THE Finals

Yep, so it's just about time for the NBA Finals to begin. ABC, the TV host of The Finals, got what it wanted with the ever-popular Celtics-Lakers match up. These two teams obviously go back an extremely long time. The most recent finals between these two was in '87 with the lovely Magic-Bird rivalry. Though, I wasn't around during that time to see those games, so I really have no business talking about it or how great it was, because frankly, I have no idea how it went down. Though this years match up between Kobe and the Boston Three Party should definitely be a good one; and although ABC will probably get the highest rating for a Finals series in a long time, I really don't think that any of the games will be all that great or anything. I'm not saying it's going to be all that bad or anything, it's just that I don't think that there's going to be any crazy endings, buzzer beaters, or even a game seven. No, I think that this will be a series that will be decent to watch, though it's not going to be one of the greatest ever or all that memorable when it's over. Here's some more of what going to happen in The Finals: 2008...

#1 Boston Celtics over #1 Los Angeles Lakers in 6
Yeah, I had to take a day or two to think about this choice, but I'm pretty confident in my selection. In the beginning I was thinking Lakers, though the more I thought about it, the more I noticed that the grass was greener on the Celtics side. They have three really good players, and the Lakers have one extremely good player. Boston has a bench, and the Lakers have a bench. After that, I did some mental math and noticed that the benches cancel each other out, and that three was greater than one (or you could even count Kobe as two, but three is still greater than two). Though the fact that Kobe is Kobe is the reason that I had LA winning two games in this series, though I think in the end that The Three Basketeers are just going to be too much for one Kobe to handle, and Boston will be able to win it in game six, which will be back in Boston. Truthfully, I would much rather see the Lakers win it because they've been with each other for more than just a few months, and I would much rather see them win than a bunch of superstars pulled together during the offseason. That's just how I feel though.

Anyways, that's about it. I hope the Wings can finally take care of business tonight and win the cup. If they do lose again, I still won't be that worried because I know that there's no way they'll lose in game seven, if there is one. And if there is a game seven, they better put Hasek in net, because Osgood is just wayyy too flakey. Yeah, and the Tigers blew another game yesterday to the A's. I was really happen to see D-Train out there pitching though. And he did really well with four shutout innings. I don't really get why they would take him out after that though. If a pitcher has a shutout going, then wouldn't you keep him in as a manager instead of letting the bullpen F it up and lose the game for you. Haha, yeah. I'm done though. Go Wings.
