It's Called Heart

Or just a good old fashion ass whoppin! Boston beat the Lakers last night...no they blew the Lakers out! It was amazing, it was organic, and I couldn't have been happier. I mean, I was watching the game with a new friend of mine (hey luscious, I'm about to go find me some 100% fat free fries) and we were both on the same page...the thing is, we are NOT Boston Celtic fans. I for sure, am NOT. We are however huge fans of that sexy chocolate bean pole, Kevin Garnett. I've loved him forever. Mostly because I just think there is something so beautiful about that man...and not to mention his joyous spirit is absolutely contagious. I guess more importantly tho, he is GREAT at what he does. The man can ball, point blank, period. And he came into this league -- the first NBA player ever to be drafted out of High School -- and has been working his ass off trying to carry his team to the playoffs and then just past a first round. If you've seen KG play, you know that he is one of the best all around players in the league. Meaning he can do everything....and he's a born leader. The frustration of having all this talent but it not being enough, well, that can be beyond draining. The star is only as good as his supporting cast and Minnesota just wasn't cutting for KG. In what was to become the best move ever, KG was traded to the Boston Celtics. At first I was like eww, really? The Celtics? Boston?! But then I relaxed a bit because I started to realize that KG may actually be able to make it do wut it do with this team. Why? Well because he had Ray Allen on his sqaud -- another baller who has been trying to lead teams to victory -- and he had Paul Pierce. Now I'm not necessarily a fan of Paul's but he and Kevin have a very similar story. And to watch it all come together last night was amazing. Almost ironic.... Ironic because the reason Kobe has all his rings is because, well dude is a beast, but because he had a squad that was just unstoppable at the time. This time around, Kobe lost because he couldn't carry his team by himself. The star is only as good as his supporting cast, and clearly last night, they all fell way short. And I guess it bees like that sometime. Oh and I have to say, speaking of other team members, Rajon Rondo was off the chain this whole series. He has EVERYTHING to do with why the Celtics won last night. His defense was impeccable. I don't how many times he stole the damn ball but it was enough to have the Lakers almost in tears. It got to the point where it was like, just stop the damn clock already! It's over!!! Congrats KG! Congrats Ray! Congrats Paul! Congrats Doc! Congrats Rajon! And Congrats to the Boston Celtics. Well played boys. Well played indeed.
