Don't ever let it be said that the Lakers don't know how to put on a show and keep you on the edge of your seats. With the series teetering on the brink the Lakers brought it down right to the wire. Thank you Ron Ron! With so much expected of them you would think the Lakers would be edgy and nervous. You think they would win as quickly as possible. Not this LA team, there called Lake Show for a reason. Finding more than one way to be entertaining is just second nature to them. Whether it's las minute heroics or an offensive barrage, it's never boring.
Now the Lakers are back in the Finals and facing the Celtics. It doesn't get any more exciting than this. Who would have thought the Celtics would over come and make it to the finals?(I think I did, check the posts if you don't believe me!). Only one word comes to mind and that's VENGEANCE! Like Kobe said beating the Celtics in the NBA finals would be icing on the cake.
Not that I needed more reasons to hate the Celtics or hope that the Lakers would crush them but one more reason has made its self known. After the 2008 game 6 in Boston as the Lakers waded through the crowd in the team bus. The tactful gentlemanly Bostonians began to hurl rocks and push the bus. Talk about kicking someone when they're down. It's fine though, it's just more ammo for the arsenal. There was only one person on the team that wasn't there that night and they all vividly remember it. The player that wasn't there was Artest who doesn't really need a reason to hold a grudge.
"It was painful," Lakers forward Pau Gasol said. "It is a feeling that I want to keep in my mind for every single minute that I’m out there playing them."
We've waited all season for this, it's time.
