I like Boston. Well I like New York, but the Knicks and NBA Finals can't really be used together in a sentence. I like Garnet and Ray Allen, so I hope Boston gets it.
I never liked Kobe before. He used to take a lot of shots and always hugged the ball too much. He's a lot better now, especially this season. Plays a lot more with his team and score his points without forcing it.
I've always liked Kobe. I used to bet on the Lakers when they won those three championships in a row and they always came through for me. Those LA-Kings series were unforgettable. I have $60 on them winning the finals as well although this seems a tough one. We'll see how they do tonight.
After that disgraced ref's allegations about match fixing in the NBA I don't trust the league anymore. Not that I didn't think that there was match fixing before. Those allegations might indeed help Bosotn since Stern will make absolutely sure that there's no shadow of doubt when it comes to the refereeing of these finals. Any help that the Lakers might have gotten to push the series to 7 games has disappeared.
