Although I do not usually write about basketball, a few things need to be said. It seems as though I am one of the only people to be happy that Kobe and the Lakers knocked off Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns. It's my theory that the only reason anyone cheers for Nash is because he is Canadian, and the only reason they cheer against Kobe is because they are jealous.
The series went for 6 games and almost looked to be headed for a 7th in the final minutes of game six. After dominating the entire game, the Lakers managed to give up an overwhelming 18 point lead in the final minutes, but Nash and his 3 point shots couldn't keep Kobe off... again. The Lakers went on to take the series and now face the Boston Celtics in the NBA finals which are set to begin on Thursday.
For once, the sports world got together and discussed what days the NBA finals should be on and what days the NHL finals should be on. It wouldn't have surprised me if they had been scheduled for the same days. In the conference finals for the NHL, they had both finals running on the same day and then would have no games the next day and then 2 the day after, until some genius suggested that they alternate. That deserves a slow clap. Due in part to poor planning by networks, on Saturday I was forced to flip between game 1 of the Stanley cup, Kobe vs Nash, UFC prelims on Spike, and UFC. Sweet.
