39 points…

that’s the lead the Boston Celtics had when they destroyed, obliterated and humiliated the Los Angeles Lakers, winning their 17th championship in the process… i know i’m a very loyal utah jazz fan… but this year i had a dilemma… as much as i’ve wanted deron williams and company to win it all, i really wanted KG and ray allen to get their rings… and there’s no better time than this year… so i was rooting for the celtics… i’m also rooting for them since utah was beaten by the lakers in their conference semifinals… also, i hate kobe’s guts… yes, he is one of the best players today… pero i’m not a fan of his arrogance… he may be a great player, pero he hasn’t won a championship by himself… those 3 rings he have, pasalamat sya kay shaq… for me, shaq was the go to guy for that team… and he wanted to be that guy so much that he drove shaq away… ano nangyari, shaq has won another title… si kobe, wala pa… and i was really rooting against kobe winning one one without shaq… (sorry ace… masyado kong ni-character assasinate idol mo… =P)…eniweiz,  here are some thought i had about the finals…

• again, congrats to the Boston Celtics… in the pre-season, i saw a feature on KG… how he stuck with Minnesota… losing teammates who were close to him (starbury, malik seal, latrell and sam i am)… how he handled it and how he tried to move on… and he is one the guys you really want to win a championship… and it would have been better if he did it in ’sota… like that would happen…
• ray allen was non-existent during the playoffs… yun pla rinereserve nya pra sa finals… i wanted him to win the finals MVP… i look at it this way… KG was the man behind the 66 win season… paul pierce took care of the playoffs… and ray allen was the most consistent players for the celics in the finals… if you replayed the whole series, ray allen was always part of the great plays and the amazing runs…
• the finals MVP, paul pierce really deserved it… quinito henson had a contest, write who was your pick to be  the finals MVP… here is what i wrote: “For me, the finals MVP shouldn’t be the one who was traded to a bottom feeder and turned it to a champion caliber team. And definetely not the one who asked to be traded in the pre season. It should be the one who stayed with his team thru thick and thin. And that’s Paul Pierce.”
• i applaud pj brown… he didn’t just rode the big three wave for the celtics… he actually performed… kudos…
• they say kobe is a crybaby… i don’t think so… that distinction goes to sasha vujacic
• i find it funny people (some lakers fan) say the lakers were going in as the underdog… haller… they coasted thru the western conference playoffs (the only team that kinda made it hard for them were the jazz)… the celtics on the other hand had 2 7-game series (one  of them was against the atlanta hawks for crying out loud)… talk about advantage…
• also, some say kobe had a weaker team… then they compare it to jordan’s team… it had its big three of jordan, pippen and rodman… but may i remind you of the first three-peat of the bulls… yah, that was a great lineup… i’ll even compare the starting lineup of both teams…

          gasol vs bill cartwright - winner: gasol… he could easily score against catwright
          odom vs horace grant- winner: odom… by a hair… odom’s atheletic ability beats grant’s hustle
          radmanovic vs scottie pippen - winner: sasagutin ko p b ito?
          fisher vs b.j. armstrong/john paxson - winner: undecided sna pero i think lamangsi fisher… watchathink
          kobe vs jordan - winner: JORDAN…

the diff between them is not the stats and the skills… its Jordan’s leadership  and how he is as a teammate… jordan wouldn’t hold back scoring just to prove that the team needs him to shoot… he wouldn’t treat teammates like dirt when they can’t catch a behind the back no look pass from him… he won’t embarass a teammate during the preseason, telling people the team should’ve traded the guy for jason kidd… he won’t give himself a nickname… and most importantly, jordan wouldn’t let his team lose by 39 points on a series clinching game…(again sorry for the black mamba bashing…)

i enjoyed this year’s finals… and now that the celtics (KG, allen and pierce) have won a championship… it’s gonna be utah jazz: 2009 nba champions… hehe count on it… l8r dayz…
