We’re nearing the draft. It ain’t gonna look pretty and I put this off way too long to go through explaining each one.

check it out, its not much for the eyes, but its definitely a good blog.
Brought up a good point too that I hadn’t thought about (believe it or not, it happens a lot)
“Another observation I made was that Phil Jackson has never coached a team with this much youth this late into the season. Even those Bulls teams had plenty of older, P.J. Brown types to help right the ship and act as calming influences. This team is still extremely green (no pun intended) and are not yet deserving of all of Phil’s trust. They came up big in the 4th quarter, but in reality, Jackson only seems comfortable playing his starting 5. I think he gets the cold shakes every time Luke Walton has to try and guard KG. Although the Lakers have been super-efficient until now, perhaps all the media pundits, myself included, overlooked their extreme youth. Boston is much more a traditional Phil Jackson team. And Doc Rivers is proving it.”
Thats all, I put a lot of emphasis into how much PJ had the matchup dominated, but this is a great point.

For me, this was the first of any of these Finals games that I did not loathe watching. The final score shows that it was a gritty game, like most of the last few, filled with fouls and broken plays, but I enjoyed it.

Before I dive into post Game thoughts and what not, I just saw something on odenized of a clip that I had not seen during the coverage of tonights game. I probably missed it, but it really is interesting.
Quick synopsis of the video. Basically, Tim Donaghy, under pressure of hard time has, come out with allegations against the league. He is alleging that the NBA instructed its officials to officiate the game in a way favorable to a certain team or a certain outcome.

Well, seeing as how I am now a fully naturalized citizen (sworn in on a picture of Will Leitch) of the blogging community I have been descending deeper and deeper into the bowels of the blogging monster that is out there on the world wide web. A couple of my favorites are in the links section, but that no where near resembles the amount of solid, in depth, well thought out, well written, and most of the time hilarious blogs that there are out there.

That was pretty close. It might not be as easy as everyone said it would be for the Lakers. More after the jump…
