So Lebron's out, but Kobe's in. Wasn't it supposed to be, Kobe vs Lebron? Well, If the Nba is conspiracy, it failed miserable. But maybe, just maybe, David Stern and Co. didn't want the Finals to be so hyped. Yeah, it may or may not be conspiracy, but if you think about it, it's reverse psychology. We all wanted, well most of us wanted Kobe vs Lebron. Shoot, there were commercials for the darn rivalry. But maybe Stern didn't want the proficy to be correct. So instead, we give them the Magic. We didn't want a repeat of last year with LA and the Celtics. So who was next in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Orlando? or Atlanta. Atlanta seemed weak, so obviously they're gonna go wtih the Magic. I know it's just a theory, right or wrong, I really don't mind. I'm just starting to think, maybe the rumors are true.
Regardless of the NBA being rigged, the Finals will be here. In my opinion, I believe the Lakers will be victorious, just because David Stern has Kobe's back. And I say it will be in 6 or 7 games for business purposes. As much as I hate Kobe and the Lakers, they will prevail against Dwight Howard and Co. The Lakers and Magic match up well against each other too, better than the Cavs. But I say Kobe has the better roster and coach. And we saw it in the series prior, one man teams don't make it. Dwight Howard may be Superman, but will his teammates be as effective as Kobe and the Lakers? Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, and Andrew Bynum will be key in this series on if they win or not. Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis are good, but will they be the right spots during the Finals.? LA has the experience so it will be interesting to see how Orlando responds. However, Orlando is a good enough team to put up an upset, and I would choose them if I didn't think the league was rigged. But I just don't see Orlando stopping Kobe. And even though I dislike him highly, He's the best closer in the game. Yes, even D Wade. Dwight Howard will have a tough time against Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom. He'll probably foul out 3 out of the 6 games. In the end, I see LA winning a championship, satisfying Kobe, and leaving LA fans happy. It's funny how Kobe wanted out the same year they got to the Finals. hmmm. Anyways, Lakers in 6.. or possibly 7.
