Let the Game 7 talk begin
|
|
 The
Lakers won Game 6 of the NBA Finals 89-67. It was a dominant
performance by Los Angeles who opened up a 20 point lead during the 2nd
quarter.
So for the next 48 hours all were going to hear about is what a sure
thing it is that the Lakers are going to win the championship. No one
has won a Game 7 in the NBA Finals on the road since 1978. Boston is
old, and their coming off of one of their worst performances of the
year.
 I
can’t make a case for Boston, or at least not a good one. If I were
forced to choose, I would pick the Lakers. But there’s recent history
to suggest that we should ignore all the hype that’s coming. In
Superbowl XLII the New England Patriots were 18-0 and facing a New York
Giants team that had already lost 6 games during the year and couldn’t
finish the season strongly. In 2006, I remember hearing all about how
USC was one of the greatest football teams in college football history
before they lost the National Championship Game. All the while their
Championship Game opponent Texas was tearing up the college football
world at the same time. I just knew that the hype was going overboard
and sure enough Vince Young tore them apart passing and running. If I
were forced to choose, I’d pick the Lakers but my best guess is that
this will be a great, close game.
