The NBA Finals kicks off tonight at 6 pm for those of us on the West Coast. I guess you could say that this is the absolute latest time I could do a preview for this game, but heck, I decided instead of taking a nap I would put some of this free time to good use.
We are now fast approaching the matchup we have all (supposedly) been waiting for. But, ever since the huge trade/series of trades that brought ring-less superstars KG and Ray Allen to Boston up through the beginning of the season when Kobe, Bynum, and the rest of the Lakers came storming out of gates and even up until Pau came over in the Infamous Memphis Plundering of Oh ‘8 (also known as the Kupchak Miracle) we have been hearing about the possibility of a Lakers Celtics final series matchup. Now that it has happened, no surprise, ESPN and all our friends in the sports media have jumped on it and in true ESPN fashion, have not stopped talking about it, discussing it, analyzing it, and building it up since it was official.
Anyways, now that we are here, it seems only fitting that I take a little swing at previewing/analyzing this monumental, historical, David Stern wet dream of a Finals Series. Follow me after the J-U-M-P…
