Eh...
Well I am rooting for the Lakers. No way would you catch me rooting for the 
wife beater whining brick laying point guard. Bleh. Its surpising that Stern 
would hype him..but I guess I overstimated his moral character.

Though..you know the Kings are the better team.
Another victim of the NBC/Officials/David Stern conspiracy.... Yes the NBA 
right now is a dirty game. They were biased in both series..but much worse in 
the Lakers/Kings series because they truly feared the Kings would win.

Both NJ and the Celts could play with the Lakers..but the Kings would kill 
either one of them. Either way..I think the officials will go with the Lakers 
on this one..so I expect the Lakers to win. 

Truth of the matter is:
Shaq is overrated. He isn't the second coming of Wilt, and isn't even as good 
as
Kareem was. He is slow fat and lazy... But so big that he can still get his 
way...
plus he has the officials in his pocket.

The whole series will bug me though..cause I think the eastern conference has
a decent shot against the Lakers. Its amazing that they beat the Kings..a 
true
miracle. Bobby Jackson should have been in that game.
