I refuse to do a congratulations to the Fakers post like most Celtics blogs have done today. It pains me to even link to those posts. In my opinion, they won by default. If the Celtics had been healthy, I honestly don't believe that the Lakers would have won it. Theirs is a hollow victory because they know the best team wasn't in the finals and they didn't beat the Celtics. I watched the end of the game, but then turned it off immediately.

It looks like the Los Angeles Lakers, up 3-1 in the series vs. the Orlando Magic, will come up with the title before the series is over. Maybe the Magic will win game 5 and send it back to LA, but it will likely end in game 6. The Lakers have the best player, Kobe Bryant, and the best coach, Phil Jackson. Jackson will end up with 10 NBA titles as head coach. That is a number...
