Game 7: Where Heart Attack Happens

And so it's all over. 48 minutes of gladiatorish back and forth battle between the Lakers and the Celtics. It's finally over with Lakers coming back from a 6 point Boston lead to turn it around in the 4th quarter for Kobe's 5th title and the Lakers 16th.

So Congratulations to you guys. Since you beat the Phoenix Suns to go the the Finals... You deserve the title more than the Celtics.

Going For The Kill: Final Game Of The Season

The Lakers and the Celtics are one of the most storied rivalries that has went through time and provided fans the match everyone is waiting for. Ever since the old Magic and Bird days, the rivalry didn't grace the Finals since KG and company reinforced Team Leprechaun last 2008 and eventually won the ring from Kobe and the Lakers. The Lakers then took the title the following year by beating a young Orlando team, and this year we're back with green and gold.

Weezy Doin Work

Weezy just released a track called 'Kobe Bryant'.

I can see a Kobe highlight reel in YouTube with this track on... or if Kobe does want to be a boxer, this track would certainly fit as an entrance music.

Typical Weezy track, typical Weezy rhyme, but to all yall Mamba lovers out there... here's the track.

Kobe doing work.
2-4 on my shirt
he the greatest on the court
and I'm the greatest on the verse.
Going for the fourth ring
like it was his first
gotta get the gleam, do it for Kareem!

Check it out on BTV 9:00 am Live. I'm just hoping Quinito Henson and Chino Trinidad won't cover it for BTV... It's just not right...

"Los Angeles, We Have A Problem"

I'm not doubting the Lakers strength and talent. I'm still looking for a Laker win in Los Angeles in 2 days. But I'm still baffled by the thought that they couldn't close out on a team that's missing 2 of their best players (or at least how we know them).

Armed with a little warrior (Aaron Brooks) and the Argentinian Stud (Scola), The Rockets, unwilling to go out and be like Apollo 1 in this series, forced a do-or-die game 7 in Los Angeles for the chance to go into the Western Conference Finals against Denver.

The Rockets who looked like who never lost a beat, refueled at home after the 40-point beating they got from the Lakers in game 3, only lost 1 quarter to the Lakers in a game that seemed to be the one that would've sent the Lakers preparing to study Denvers game. Scola finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds and Brooks also chipping in 24 of his own to lead the Rockets barrage.

The Lakers on the other hand looked like they're clueless or maybe disheartened by the barrage they received from the Rockets (17-1) only closed in the 3rd quarter.

Now to my analysis, what's slowing the Mighty Lakers? What's keeping them out of their potential to dismember opponents in a way that fans are expecting them to? What ever happened to that refueled passion they're telling everyone about after they lost to the Celtics last year? I'm guessing these are the same Lakers that was battered and bruised by KG and company. Playing with their talent but not that motivated by their passion to win that crown.

Is it possible that the "zen" of Phil Jackson are slowing them down? Really making them feel relaxed and make them believe that they can still bag it in the next game? That's one thing I noticed with comparing the defending champions against these Laker team. The Celtics, without one of their big three, has been fighting until the last minute and see themselves win games. You can't deny the leprechauns heart, no matter how much I dislike this team, they comeout, ready to play.

The Lakers on the other hand, a team who appears to have everything to lose, are coming out that way... A team that has everything to lose. Now they're on a brink of an upset.

It's win or go home for them.
