first and foremost before I begin. I just want to say that I'm die hard laker fan and have been for pretty much my whole life, or as long as I can remember, and now I'm in my mid twenties.
With that said, this is the mooooost boring nba finals/playoffs ever, and believe me it has nothing to do with my team not being in it. Last year was entertaining, but this year thanks to kevin durant who ruined the nba season, the playoffs suck. I always thought lebrons move to maimi was the weakest move that I'd ever seen (ray allen joining the heat was a close 2nd.. smh, you dont turn your back on your brothers like that). but along came durant and proved that wrong by making the biggest BITCH MADE move ever. I mean youre up 3-1? and you blow that lead, and then go join that team that beat you??? THE FUCK. I remember hearing the news of him joining the warriors and was just in complete disbelief, like I thought it was a joke or something. I just knew right away on july 4th, 2016 (yes, i remember the date lol) that this was going to happen. Cavs have a very talented team, but the warriors added an out of this world talent for pretty much harrison barnes. Anybody would do that trade in a heart beat.
Going 16-0 aint special, its expected, this team experienced no struggles. Even when jordan, The G.O.A.T, had his run with the bulls, he experienced his growing pains with losses with the Celtics and bad boy pistons. Before, Kobe and shaq ran off they're 3peat they lost 4 straight years in the playoffs, and they even got swept twice. Hell even lebron and the heat, realized how hard it was to win it all with that embarrassing loss to Dallas, when lebron chocked and disappeared in the 4th qtr 5 straight games. (He promised maimi 7 rings by the way.. not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6.). But these guys experienced none of that, so nobody gives a shit. What was there biggest challenge? how they're gonna share the ball? and learn to coexist. Give me break thats like bill gates and warren buffet trying to figure how there gonna split the dinner bill.
Now, Lebron going to the lakers, actually makes allot of sense. Paul goerge has stated all season long that he going to the lakers or staying in Indiana if they can add some talent. (which i dont see them doing). So at this point it is a pretty much fore gone conclusion that Paul George is coming to the lakers, his hometown team and his fovorite player growing up was kobe bean bryant, the black mamba, thats why he wore 24, before changing his number to 13. Lakers also have allot of young talent (juluis Randell, brandon ingram, russell, clarkson, and soon lonzo ball.) and those are going to be valuable trade pieces, because gms and coaches get a hard on for potential. Kind of like the Wiggins for kevin love deal. When lebron wrote that letter that he was coming home. he mentioned kyrie, tristian, and deion waiters, but no mention of wiggins because he already knew that he was going to get traded for k. love, thats how much power lebron has, hes smart like that. So the pieces are in place for trading for a lost superstar, such as maybe an Anthony davis? who did state at the all star game via his his agent that he was interested in going to the lakers and possibly teaming up with russell westbrook who also is free agent 2018, along with lebron and george. westbrook is also an L.A boy, born and raised that grew up a kobe fan. you never know maybe im just dreaming.
Shout out russell westbrook tho, for saving the nba season, and making it watchable. I SALUTE YOU. I witnessed a man average a triple double!!! i thought that wasn't possible, never in my life time did I think I would witness that. Nobody in the nba plays has hard on every single possession as this man does, just the pure anger he plays with, its awesome. SO thank you.
The realest in the game. 2 shots to the head, fuck some kevin durant.
