Merry Christmas

Christmas is only a few days away. There are a lot of things to look forward to when it's Christmas time. Presents, family, food, dinner with the in-laws. When you are sitting at the dinner table with your mother in-law, instead of thinking about how crappy her stories are, you can think of Christmas with the Celtics. Celtics vs. Lakers. What more could you ask for this Christmas? After the Finals last year, the rivalry was officialy restored. This game could be a preview of this year's Finals.

Speaking of the Finals, in a previously posted blog, I said that Boston would win it all again this year. How ever, for those of you who read Sports Illustrated, 67% of 189 NBA players said that the LAKERS would win the title (20% said the Celtics would win). How could the Lakers be favored by that much? The Celtics are on a 17 game winning streak (and counting, I might add). The Lakers just lost to the barely .500 Miami Heat. The Celtics are a lot deeper benchwise then the Lakers ever will be. Especially while Kobe Bryant is there. I am ashamed of the 189 players who evern thought that Boston is going to lose to the Lakers. Also, the Lakers are not even going to come close to out rebounding the Celtics unless Kobe brings a dart gun and knocks out K.G and Perk although I think he might need five or six darts to knock both of them out. That's five or six each, by the way.

This Christmas is not going to be like last year. You aren't going to be sitting at the dinner table with mashed potatoes in your mouth wishing you were unconcious. You are going to be sitting at the dinner table with mashed potatoes in your mouth wishing everybody else was unconcious so you can watch the damn game!*



*There are two games before Christmas day. Boston plays New York and Philly. Those are wins 18 and 19. Come Christmas day, they'll make it an even 20.
