Lakers 83, Celtics 79
Officially the best worst NBA finals game I have ever watched.
Lakers shot 32.5%
Ron Artest for 20 pts.
Kobe goes 6 for 24.
Gasol for 19pts and 18 rebounds.
If you know me, or even slightly pay attention to my wardrobe, you know that I am a self-proclaimed die-hard fan. I've watched almost every game of the season (I'm pretty sure I can count the ones I've missed on a single hand), and it angers me when people who know nothing try to bandwagon into the Laker fan club. I know the roster and all of the reserves by heart, and I owe it all to dad. One of the things I'm going to miss most when I head off is cheering on the Lakers with dad at home (which usually entails of screaming, yelling, and occasional coaching at the screen in certain circumstances, I wouldn't have it any other way). This is why this nba finals game 7 performance was probably celebrated more enthusiastically than graduation (in my mind). In a game that looked terrible for 3+ quarters, the Lakers finally pulled it off(with a huge thanks to ronron's great performance, pau coming through at the end, and derek fisher's momentous 3 pointer) * and beat the Celtics (gah I hate you boston). What a storybook ending to my senior year. I wouldn't have had it any other way.
*interestingly, (i hate to do this...well maybe not) the lakers' season and outcome was very similar to that of the Sprague Camerata this year. Back2Back Champs. I'm not complaining.
GO LAKERS!
