The Lakers, having already been pathetically eliminated without so much as a whimper, will wash the cars of each Celtics player and then lay down submissively to provide a human bridge so that the Celtics players don't get their feet wet in their still moist driveways.
What this finals taught me was that the Atlanta Hawks is apparently a better team than the Lakers. The Lakers weren't really in the game starting with the second quarter, hey guys, wake up, IT'S THE DAMN NBA FINALS! PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY WATCHING THIS SHIT UNTIL YOU WERE DOWN BY 30. People can praise the Celtics for being very good, and they are, but what the hell happened to the Lakers? Did they all of a sudden forget how to play defense? Did Michael Jackson and his cadre of children promise Kobe some quality time? Did they all of a sudden decide that, hey we haven't been embarrassed on national television enough, let's go out there and get blown out so badly that it looks like we didn't belong in the same building. God bless the NBA marketing team for trying to hype this match up, trying to reach back and recapture all the history this rivalry has meant. This rivalry is effectively nothing more then media hype anymore, NONE of the games were great, very few of them were even halfway interesting. What the heck happened to the Lakers? You beat the Spurs and yet you get dominated by the Celtics.
