Ah, The Wonderful Lakers.
They didn't quite have it last night, thus ending their surprisingly long season. The Celtics were desperate. They clawed and fought and won. It was apparently their year. Our glory days are still ahead. No let downs, no disappointments. The Lakers were amazing. Best in the West. Who's to say they aren't the best overall. It takes a complete season to judge a team's worth. The Lakers got it done. At the front line with only 7 games separating 1st seed from 8th seed. Celtics got it done with a mediocre East to contend with. From top to bottom, 1st throught 8th, a 29 game difference.... You do the math.
Paul Pierce received the finals MVP award meaning Most Vindictive Phony. ---- I never disliked him, until his oscar worthy act in the first game, where he willed his team to a win with his fake injury.
KOBE, the real MVP.
What an amazing player.
What an amazing work ethic.
Focus.
Determination.
Success.
Pau Gasol. Someone needs to meet him in a dark alley and beat some testosterone into him. Other than that, what a steal. what a trade. what finesse and grace on the floor. He'll be a lifer.
Lamar, Lamar, Lamar..... Flashes of Greatness. Finally, he's playing the right position to showcase his talents. His happy relaxed face in game 4 will forever haunt me, as his team let that 24 point lead slip away.
Derek, the backbone. the wisdom. the sure confidence. Welcome back. We needed you. Plus, dang, running with the young bucks and keeping up or overtaking them. kudos.
Radmanovich. You are sneaky. Your great plays seem to blend in, unnoticed. Well, I noticed. There's something there. Work it out.
Sasha "The Machine". you earned the name. wow. defense. offense. Plus, dang boy, you clean up nice. whew!
Farmar --- take the ball with a second to go any day of the week. clutch shots are your specialty. You can be a starter for any team of your choosing. Of course, you love the Laker bench too much to leave, I know. Yay us!
Ronny. you're an animal. we love it.
Luke. well, i don't know what to say. i'm sadly disappointed in you. looking for you to change my mind. sooner than later.
Mbenga Brain. Strength.
Mihm. Nice to see you for a few minutes. Anticipating more.
Ariza. WOW. wish we had more time to watch you work. injuries suck.
Who am i forgetting... who am i forgetting????
Ira Newble. don't know much. hope to see more.
Coby Karl. Absolutely lovable. Welcome to LakerTown Rookie! Coby Coby Coby Coby....
and...
Andrew. Bynum. big guy. young. tough. get well soon. you are the missing piece of the puzzle. can't wait to see what the team will be like next year. in a word. UNSTOPPABLE.
So, that's it. I pay homage to a great team, a special team.
MY TEAM.
Thanks for a great, exciting, entertaining season.
See ya in the fall!

Oops..I meant Pierce not Piece, although he is a piece of.....hahah j/k ;-)
Yep, we had some pretty disappointed Laker's fans in our extended family. We could tell by their attitudes who won the game.
Unfortunately, one of them (a nephew) attended a party that night, and his car was vandalized because he had Laker stuff all over it.
