The NBA Finals are here. I like the NBA. I listen to sports talk radio all day long while I work. I played basketball up until the 10th grade. I led my team to a WBA Finals game when I was 11. I wore Pumps. I own a healthy collection of Air Jordans. I won a 3pt shootout. I shot a 3 for a T in Warrior Country as well. All these things make me feel as if I am more than qualified to write a 2010 NBA Finals prediction blog right?
It does not so I am just going to tell you things that I am going to watch for and hope they come true....
LET ME HEAR IT!!!!!
-How many times Doc says the word 'together' tonight during the timeouts.
-If Celtic goes down, count how long it takes for a Celtic to help him up and then if a Laker goes down. The Cs got back to the RAH RAH TEAM mode once May rolled around and its showed.
-If Rasheed knocks down his 1st shot of each game he seems to let that carry him, if not...heads up.
-Perk Face. Perk Dribble. Perk Get Blocked.
-I cant hate Ron Artest because he wears #37 in honor of MJ for making Thriller stay #1 on the charts for 37 straight weeks. Not to mention he has a rap song called 'Michael Michael Michael, you my N-word'. Kazaa that shit.
-How Phil Jackson decides to handle Rondo. I think Jackson is such a cocky bastard he will just lay off Rondo with Kobe and play 5 on 4. Look for Rondo to attack that and use his floater in the lane, and not settle for the jumpshot.
-KG. Just watch him eat up Gasol, that fuckin llama.
-I love the Celtics bench in this series. They can go another 5 deep, while LA only has Odom and Shannon Brown to really rely on. If Bynum can only go 9-12 mins a game, that will put more pressure on Odom to play major minutes. There is just something about Glen Davis that makes me wanna hug him after every play.
-O/U on Khloe Kardashian being shown each game. I will put it at 2.5. I am gonna take the over, she is pregnant and Lamar takes his time at the free throw line.
-I love the Sheed 3pt basket gesture. Watch for it.
-Nate Robinson after every 3pt shot made by the bench. Dude just breaks down into the robot or something. RESPECT.
-Vujacic and his rat face. He will play at a very weird time and he will look to do something dirty. It will happen this series.
-Kobe vs Pierce. Its the main storyline for me. Kobe is seeking revenge on not only '08 but on Pierce for stealing his Finals MVP. Pierce immediately said he should be mentioned in the same breath as Kobe and Lebron after the '08 Finals. I dont like that he said that because the Black Mamba does not forget that shit. The Celtics need to do what they did to Wade and James, let Kobe get his, but really D up on the others. Its the best supporting cast they have seen these playoffs and its going to make or break the series.
-Doc vs Phil. I still dont know what Phil Jackson does as a coach beside sit there. I can see Doc coaching, I don't really see Phil coaching, just trying his zen bullshit to get the refs to call something in the next game.
-Ray Allen. 18+pts, the Celtics win. Its a lock.
I like the Celtics in 6. They steal Game 1 and ruin Phil Jackson's record of being 47-0 in series after he wins Game 1. Its a stat. I heard it. And it ends tonight.
Celts in 6. Too deep. Too hungry. Too many matchups in their favor.
X Factor-The Bench
Its the Finals and I could not be anymore excited to be witnessing another Lakers/Celtics final. All I really wish for is Bob Costas to do the play by play, NBC to pick up the coverage and for them to play that 90s NBA theme music. LET ME HEAR IT!!!
