This basketball series is killing me.
I am a Phoenix Suns fan. Also, I am a “Laker hater.” I watch on pins and needles and with bated breath the games between the two teams. I have to say, I am so excited for game 6 that I can’t even stand it. I really want Phoenix to win, if only so I can talk trash to my new friend from Massachusetts.
Who would’ve thought that the “old men” of Boston would make it to the finals for the 2nd time in three years? She did!
I watched Game 4 in a bar with her and found myself rooting for the Celtics. Not only was I commiserating with her over their loss, I was all bent out of shape with the lack of calls against Orlando and Dwight Howard’s Karl Malone-esque type of play. Also, I don’t think that Steve Nash’s face can take any more hard hits and since Dwight Howard, of the Magic, likes to throw his elbows it’s better to just avoid the whole meet up.
I don’t know though, if Boston will be able to defeat the Suns, which of course I don’t want. The Suns are just too fast of a team for the Celtics to try to beat.
The last time these two teams met, in 1976, Boston won the series 4-2. I’m just hoping that Phoenix holds out against the Lakers and makes it to the Finals.
If the Celtics and the Lakers meet, I just don’t think the Celtics can battle through Kobe and his compadres.
That’s just my opinion though.
It is in my DNA to have a great and poweful dislike for the Lakers.
I have never in my life rooted for the Celtics. That will all change on Thursday.
Exactly!!
