Who ya got?

Lakers - Celtics

I'm already tired of Duncan and the Spurs flopping and bitching.

Well, then the sports talk hosts you listen to are fucking retards. Why the fuck would they favor LA?

LA had the best player in the league (Kobe), a deeper bench, and a much better coach than Boston in Phil Jackson. Additionally, LA cruised to the finals while Boston struggled through 7 game series with Atlanta and Cleveland, and 6 with Detroit. Since Boston had an older team, most people thought the Celtics would be worn out. Also LA had I think the best record in the laague after getting Gasol and were leading the league in PPG. Oh, and Boston only won one game on the road coming in to the finals.

It wasn't out of the question to think all those factos would equal LA winning in 5 games.

Boston's advantages couldn't really be quantified. They had three unselfish stars who had never won a championship and came to Boston with one goal in mind. Also, there was no way in hell Gasol was guarding Garnett. European big men are soft. Give me some guy who grew up playing extremely physical street ball in the hood of Chicago over some European who learned how to play the position in space (IE, with no one in his face guarding him, not literally in space)

Do you actually watch basketball or is this just a bunch of stuff you heard on the radio?
