Most of the people I've come across cheering for Boston are only cheering for them because:

a.) they're fairweather fans who are only cheering for them now that they're winning

or

b.) they like KG and want him to win a ring, and this is probably the closest he'll ever get

or

c.) they want the Lakers to lose and don't care to whom

I fall in the third category.

Lakers=Yankees=Patriots? How? The only similarity I see between them is that they win alot... you can't hate them for that!

People hate the Yankees because they can pay for all the best players. 6 of their players are in the top 50 highest paid athletes in the US. Fortunately, the NFL and the NBA have salary caps that helps limit teams being able to pay for championships.

The Patriots, you may hate them because of their winning ways, but their players are humble and willing to give up individual recognition for team success. Tom Brady denied a higher salary so the Pats could obtain Randy Moss. You won't see Manning do that, and he's the highest paid quarterback in the league.

Who spent the most in the NBA this year? Not the Lakers. In the NBA, dollars spent does not necessarily mean more Ws. Take the Knicks for example. The Lakers are successful because of two key factors: Kobe Bryant and teamplay and these two factors are NOT mutually exclusive, for we've seen what Kobe HASN'T done on his own.

He's surrounded by good ROLE players, which is why they are so successful. The Cavs can't surround James with good role players, and the Celtic's salary is mainly going to their three superstars, whereas the rest of their team is made up of aging role players from around the league. It's a composition of the "great role players who will disappear into NBA history" from the 90's.

Nobody passes more in the league, steps up for help defense, and is willing to let the hot hand win the game more than the Lakers, and I believe that is ultimately why they are going to win. The Celtics NEED to have at least 2-3 hot hands, and explosive games from at least one of their stars to win. The Lakers win with all around team effort, even if Kobe has a bad game.

They're successful because of Pau Gasol. Before he arrived, they've barely been a .500 team. A big man who can pass and shoot the perfect compliment for the triangle offense.

The Spurs won with three aging superstars taking up most of their salary. Hell, the Lakers won three in a row with TWO superstars taking up most their salary. You're wrong. Traditionally, teams load up big money on two or three guys and then surround them with pieces. You guys didn't reinvent the wheel with your team. You just got lucky enough to get Odom and Gasol on the cheap.

So what happened last game?

The fact IS that the Celtics have the number one defense in the NBA and I was shocked Kobe made 9 shots last game considering the fact that he had zero open looks.

I do admire the Lakers because they really do get everyone involved, but lets not kid ourselves. Just as you saw in the last game and you'll see tonight, its all about Kobe.

There's still plenty of time left. Even with everything going wrong for them, its still close. Someone from either team has got to take over eventually. Let me know how it goes. Night.

single digit lead...

It's all about making shots count, none of this hoping for a foul shit since they're obviously just turning a blind eye to anything on the Lakers side of the court....
