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.

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…
Lets kick this blog thing off right. Can’t ever go wrong with the tube. Enjoy.
Ellis to the Rim gets me every time. Bobby Fitzgerald with the call as always. Anyone who gets the dubs broadcast from Fitz and Barnes, we don’t realize how good we have it.
