LAKERS vs CELTICS........... again.
while 80-90% of the world is excited for this... i am one of the few that isn't excited. well, im excited to see the finals because im an NBA fan. but otherwise... i can't stand this crap that the media does to rivalries like the lakers/celtics. they strangled us to death with that stuff 2 years ago.. and because it hadn't happened in a while, everybody jumped on it. they haven't been as smothering this year, advertisement-wise, but every blog or website HAS to mention the other years of that rivalry.. blah blah blah.. i dont care.
anyway.. some things i think you should look out for tonight:
- pau gasol against the celtics frontline. unfortunately, i dont think andrew bynum will be much of a factor this series because of the recent news that he's still having trouble with his knee. lamar odom will help but i'm sure that KG, for the most part, has him covered.
- celtics bench over the lakers bench. i used to think that lakers had a really deep bench... but other than lamar odom, nobody has really stepped up on the bench. vujacic, although ive always thought he was a joke, ive always thought he was at least serviceable. doesn't even get much play nowadays.. farmar, hasn't really showed anything yet. which is disappointing considering he wants the starting pg job next year. and the only thing shannon brown is good at is dunking on fastbreaks. u won't get too many fastbreaks against the celtics. meanwhile, celtics bench has been on the up and up lately. tony allen, nate robinson (i hate this guy), glen davis are all coming together nicely.
- kobe and artest over rayray and pierce. kobe and artest are the better defensive duo... but rayray and pierce are the better offensive duo.
wut u guys think?
