1. I hope it's the Lakers, as I'm a soCal native
:D

Plus, then at least there's one more game...

9. Given the mob mentality of Lakers fans, it's gonna get trashed either way.

17. Hey I'm a lifelong Lakers fan and I've noticed some crazy post-series riots in the past.

4. I'd love to see the C's wrap it up tonight and see the "zen master" making
up more excuses for losing.

5. Who is the "zen master", the winning-est coach in NBA history?

21. Winningest coach is impressive, indeed BUT
quite frankly *I* (or you!) could've coached that Bulls team during the Michael Jordan era and they still would've come up with a couple of three-peats.

With MJ in his prime, it was far too easy.

Not trying to take anything away from the "zen master", but still...his impressive track record should have a footnote mentioning how lucky he was to have the greatest player ever to lace up some nikes there to guide HIM into his first six titles! ;)

6. Okay, my second funnest thing
That's moved up on the list ahead of going to ESPN and reading the conversation and listening to the Laker fans cry about how unfair everything is. Phil's veiled kvetching about the officiating, the dirty tactics employed by the other team, and how the odds are constantly stacked against his team what with the injuries and the fatigue and everything, is just a little bit funnier.

First and foremost is always watching the Lakers lose.

10. The celtics are not the underdog!
Listen to ESPN, any of the commentators or even the announcers. You wouldn't even know the Lakers are playing!

12. Have you been watching the same series I have?
ESPN always cheerleads the Boston teams.

13. How many fucking lakes are there in Los Angeles?
I'm pulling for the Celtics.

Even though Danny Ainge is only where he is because he's white and had the good fortune to be a teammate of DJ & Bird & McHale & Parish.
