Let's Get It Started

Well, I was right with my NBA Finals prediction. What did I say?

"Anyway, if you believe the NBA is rigged (or, as I believe, "influenced"--see Game 6 of Lakers/Kings, where a Kobe elbow to Bibby's nose was deemed "incidental contact", and the Lakers shooting 27 free throws in the fourth), it's going to be Lakers-Celtics in the Finals. I think it'll be a Lakers-Spurs WCF, and a Celtics-Magic ECF, followed by the Dream Matchup. In this case, I think the NBA "influences" the series to a Game 7, where the NBA lets them play (after all, they've already won in terms of $$$)..."

What happens? Lakers-Celtics in the finals, with a couple of games having highly suspect calls --to the point that the NBA found it necessary to apologize for that blown call in Game 4 of the Spurs--at least it gave us a great Back to the Future reference from Brent Barry:

"That's awesome," Barry said, "because Doc Brown is waiting for me outside, and we're going to get in the DeLorean and fire up the flux capacitor and we're going to go back and shoot a couple of free throws."

I also said that I was hesitatingly going to root for the Lakers. But after hearing Vic The Brick blabbering about mu and no self and no ego; seeing Sasha "The Douche Machine" Vujacic shooting that bush league three when the game was over; seeing all those stupid Laker flags on cars; hearing fans claiming that Lamar Odom would absolutely destroy KG...I think I'm putting on the Celtic Green for this one, my disdain for the Pats notwithstanding.

Celts in seven. Because I believe in karma for that Sasha shot, and because I want to hear a grown man cry over the radio. Again.
