for those who think that there will be a game 7, well, there won't be any.

the regular season mvp is with the lakers however, the finals mvp is with their rivals, the celtics. yes, celtics won the championships, their 17th championships which took them 22 long years. the finals mvp was paul pierce.

this game 6 isn't really what a nba finals should be like. its a walkover, a joke, a humiliation, whatever u call it. there's no intensity on lakers' side. there's no thrilling clutch time. there's only celtics domination and disappointment. i woke up at 9 plus, switched on the tv and sat down. the score was tied at 10-10. by the end of the first quarter, celtics was winning 24-20. by the time i switch off the tv and went back to slp, the score was a hopeless 104-70. result for the game was 131-92.

throughout the game, i was asking myself, "what's lakers doing?" there's no drive in. no post plays. no intensity. they are forcing 3 pointers and not shooting well. there's no defense, allowing open 3's from celtics. lack of rebounding, celtics beat them on the boards with 48-29. so many turnovers, 19 as compared to celtics' 7. u expect to win like this? hell no!

in this game, pau gasol came in soft, lamar odom showed me the reason why he was called the model of inconsistencies and kobe bryant? 22 points on 7-22 shooting from the field, 3-9 shooting from 3 points territory, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 4 turnovers. good performance? unlikely.

ok. enough of lakers. on my part, i think celtics deserves to win the finals. they are playing with the intensity. its as if u can feel their hunger to win just by watching them. celtics big 3 finally had their first nba championship ring.

as reported, kevin garnett dropped to the parquet and kissed the leprechaun at center court and then found bill russell, the hall of famer who taught him the celtic way, for a long embrace.

"i got my own. i got my own,'' garnett said. "i hope we made you proud.''
"you sure did,'' russell said.

to me, thats the heart of a champion.

shall stop here. happy waiting for the 2008/09 season to start. and oh yah, don't get me wrong, i'm still a lakers fan. i was just disappointed with them. thats all. =)
