Game 7

Well, it's over now. As I watched the final seconds tick off the clock last night, I had a sick knot in my stomach, and I couldn't speak. Walking down the street with a bunch of angry, depressed Celtic's fans was the alternative to the celebration we all were waiting to have.

I really felt sick going into Game 7. Originally, I did not feel good about it. Something told me that the Lakers were going to take it...but it all turned about 3 hours before game time. This was the Celt's night. And the way the game was being played, it was.

But, I'll give the Lakers credit. They earned the championship. Say what you want, but they went out and got it and the Celtics looked like their legs cost them towards the end. Up 12 points in the second half, and not being able to hold on causes you to know that you let the game slip out of your own hands. The Lakers made plays when they needed to. Congrats to them.

It was a great series with a terrible ending. At least that is how I'll look at it. Game 7, coming down to the final minute. What more can you really ask for in a game? Yes a win. I get it. But hey, at least we can know a few things now:

  1. Can we put to rest the "Who is a better player: Kobe or LeBron" argument now? Kobe is up 5-0 on him. WITH RINGS. And I do not care. If you really think LeBron is a better player, I think you are a clown and your opinion means nothing to me. How about that? Get off my blog if you don't like it.
  2. The Celts need to re-sign Scal. If for no other reason, because the crowd gets all juiced up when he comes in. Now, with that said, I want to see Scal in blow out games, not close ones. But he always does his job. Gives you 100% effort. I wouldn't mind having the guy around as a 10th, or 11th guy off the bench.
  3. Who is better than Ron Artest? Not as a basketball player. It actually made me sick that he stuck the dagger in the Celtics last night with that 3 pointer at the end. But the postgame interview. Seriously? Thanking your hood and your psychiatrist. This guy is a certified mental case, and now has a ring. Gotta love this part:
