Man, oh man, that was fun to watch.

See, sometimes you just get beat, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Sometimes you are outclassed, you don’t belong on the court, because your team is comprised of washed-up fortysomethings, and there’s nothing you can do about that either. But sometimes…every once and a while, if you are the Lakers, you open up your trenchcoat and reveal the cold blackness of your empty soul for all to see.

This game was over from the time the Celtics took the lead. The Lakers supposedly have the best player on the planet on their side, and are led by the greatest coach. But they just went out there and gave up. They let the Celtics lay reverse alley-oops on ‘em! They let the Celtics break all kinds of Finals records. And Ray Allen, OMG, Ray Allen…how open do you have to be to hit 7-of-9 from three point land? Good Lord, seven three-pointers? What a gas.
