The Celtics are going to win the NBA finals. Granted, it will be against the Lakers, but this just means it will be one helluva show. So, first off, just so you are all aware, when living in the Los Angeles area, you are not allowed to say you are a fan of anyone other than the Lakers. You cannot even say you are a Clippers fan, because then people will think you’re a liar and full of crap. The Lakers are meant to be the connection of all Los Angelians and no one crosses that - except me (and a handful of other true devout NBA fans).
Reason #1 They’re a real basketball team.
The Celtics are a true team. Each player plays their heart out to win, not to be the shining star. They have the true team dynamic that makes a basketball game fun to watch.
Reason #2 They have THREE stars on their team, and they all get along.
Paul Pierce. Ray Allen. Kevin Garnett. All three athletes are considered NBA superstars. Most NBA teams can only handle ONE and still win. The Celtics have three of the most team focused players on the same team and that just makes me giddy inside.
Reason #3 They’re an amazing team!
They will outplay the Lakers easily. The Lakers are mainly Kobe Bryant. I can see him beating JUST Garnett, or JUST Pierce, or JUST Allen. Hell, maybe he could beat JUST two of them. But put all three of them and then the AMAZING supporting cast that the Cetlics have, it just won’t happen.
Needless to say, I’m excited for the Finals and what’s to come. I want it to be a shutout just because I don’t really like the Lakers at all, but I do know that both teams will give us a show.
