A Quick Thought...

I guess I can't say that I'm not glad Lakers finally put the Rockets away but what a pathetic series it was.  No?  Was anyone else yawning through their seven games besides me?  While Boston and Orlando were going to into double overtimes, trading huge shots after another and while Lebron and his army were ruthlessly blazing through their competition compiling one of the best highlight playoff dvd's ever, Lakers were floundering about, barely being able to keep up with a team without their two franchise players.  Besides Aaron Brooks they were a bunch of sloppy nothings.  It was the equivalent of playing a group of undersized Jr. High kids who just wanted it more than we did.   Losing to them was so annoying and winning was like, "Yea, of course, we should've won."  Just SO annoying.  I would've had no problems if Lakers got knocked out in game seven because quite frankly, we didn't deserve it.  It's hard to root for a team that has taken upon the qualities of it's surrounding people when those people consist of rich celebrities who barely know the sport who've come to be entertained rather than to cheer.  Fans on the floor seldom get up and look a fool for any reason because they know they're on camera and would be on the "Where are they now" section in Star Magazine and would rather be caught laughing and canoodling than screaming DE-FENSE.  That "impress me" attitude is so lame.  And I feel that the Lakers have taken upon this "you're not as good as us so we we're not really going to try and beat you anyways," mentality.  That's not the sort of team I like to root for.  Well, I guess that's why were Showtime.  We do put on a killer show when we put our game faces on.  I just wish it wasn't something we could ever take off.

Favorite picture of the series.

Stay sexy ya'll..
