Re; Lakers - I am disappointed to see them drop that last one. I've come around late to Kobe. We're the same age, and I'll be honest, I was dogging him. I wasn't sure of the hype, so I kept being skeptical. I'm not ashamed to say I was wrong. It's been fun to see his career develop.
That being said, that 3-pointer from Durant was COLD-blooded. Just sick. And he's 23 y'all.
As for the East, I'm just sick of ESPN's love/hate fest of Miami. They've been trashing the Heat and esp LeBron for the last few days, and now that he blew up today and they won, ESPN folk on twitter have been going nuts, hyping them up to win it all. Personally, I don' have a horse in the race, and really like the way Indiana has been playing, so I feel drawn to them because NOBODY else is talking about them.
Soo, if the NBA and sports media are gonna be pissed if it's San Antonio & Indiana in the Finals, so be it. I'll be happy & will enjoy the matchup. But, while the Spurs look like a lock for the Finals (yea, I said it!), I don't know about Indiana, but I'm rooting for them.
