The NBA Finals

The NBA Playoff finals has finally arrived, and as I predicted the two teams are the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics. It is a best-of-seven series and the Celtics lead the games 2-1. I want the Celtics to win for 2 reasons.

1. My second favourite player (Kevin Garnett) is in the team


2. They have not won an NBA championship since 1986

Lately I haven't talked to anyone that wants the Lakers to win, which I find quite surprising because the team is very popular. I don't really mind if the Lakers win but I would prefer it the Celtics won. The Lakers used to be my favourite team, back when they had Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Gary Payton, Karl Malone and Derek Fisher. But then Payton and Malone retired and Shaq got traded to the Miami Heat. The Heat then became my favourite team and they won a championship in 2006. But then Shaq got traded to the Phoenix Suns and the Heat are at the bottom of the whole NBA.

I want the Celtics to win the next two games so the game will go to game five and the final will be in the weekend. If the Lakers win any more games, that means that the final game will be on school day and I will have to beg my mum to let me stay home and watch it. don't think she will let me but its worth a try.
