los angeles lakers and boston celtics. probably one of the most heated rivalry in the history of sports.

here's the record. boston celtics has a nba record 17 championships and while lakers has 15. total up and they would have 32 out of nba's total 63 championships. thats more than half yo!

and until now, lakers have met the celtics in the finals 12 times with boston winning 9, lakers winning 2 and the last one yet to be decided.

these 2 storied franchise had many individuals and ideas clashing with each other. the great wilt chamberlain and shot blocking bill russell. offense vs defense. the dazzling magic johnson and the sharpshooting big man larry bird. black vs white. and in a very minor way, samuel ng against me. well, its all just me being a lakers/kobe fan and samuel being a boston/ray allen fan.

the last time they met in the finals was 2008 with lakers losing by 39 freaking points in the series clinching game 6. i saw it on tv and it sucked to the core watching lakers getting their ass beaten so hard.

this time with home court advantage. it might be a little bit different. pau gasol is more aggressive than he used to be and lakers have andrew bynum, their starting center this time round unlike in 2008 where he was injured. ok, actually, andrew bynum just twisted his knee so we do not know how things will go. lakers also have ron artest, defensive specialist who can slow down paul pierce and lamar odom, lakers versatile big man off the bench albeit a little bit inconsistent. and finally kobe bryant the black mamba. well, i do not need to say much arh. everyone knows what kobe can do.

as for the celtics. they have an aging kevin garnett who's still able to play very well. paul pierce who can make shots when it is needed, pretty much like kobe bryant but not that skilled and not as good looking. a very talented bench with the likes of rasheed wallace, tony allen, nate robinson and so on. but the 2 most dangerous weapons that the celtics have would be ray allen and rajon rondo. probably the best shooter in the league with the nicest shooting form and one of the league's premiere point guard who can record a triple double anytime. with the 2 of them, celtics can play the inside outside game very well. no need to say much, just watch game 2 of this year's finals.

currently, lakers leads the series 2-1 and i predict them winning the finals in 6. should the celtics win, it will be in 7 games.

so go lakers. fucking beat the celtics this time round and cut their championship lead down to 1 yo. championship no. 16!

anyway, life's been so-so lately. jj's serving ns now. major sianness up ahead!
