Congratulations to the Boston Celtics, and end of year NBA commentary

As the possibility of my love for this game might be coming to an end, what a way to put an exclamation point on it. I told myself I would only watch a minute or two of Game 6, I did. At one point it was a 14 point lead for Boston, the second minute I flipped to ABC about an hour later, it was a 37 point lead. If you're gonna go out, go out with tradition. These two franchises, the Lakers and Celtics, have combined for half of the titles this league has had in its history. Think about it, one out of every two titles was won by those teams. Let's face it, I'm not jumping head-over-heels for Boston. I'm not in bed with Boston. I hate Boston, but at least the Spurs didn't win it again, nor was it a sweep, and an Eastern Conference team won a title so I can stop hearing the 'experts' say that the best team is in the West. The best player is in the West, but wasn't at one time a certain Michael Jordan was quoted saying "One man can't beat the Boston Celtics". That was before his 63 point playoff game that the Bulls didn't win. I'm drifting off, anyway, congrats to the Celtics, and this isn't over, because this team still has a few years left ahead. ----------- I feel like Sam Smith, the great former NBA writer for the Chicago Tribune, who took a buyout recently. Well I didn't take a buyout, but my fanhood might be out pending the case in a Seattle, Washington federal courtroom. If Clay Bennett and his ownership group (Professional Basketball Club, LLC) wins that case, and the appeal, I'm done with the NBA. Seriously. It's just total (you insert the expletive), that a rich guy can just buy a team out and say, "I don't like this!" or "I want a new arena now!", essentially holding a city like Seattle hostage. Nothing against Oklahoma City, but there would be no cry for OKC without Katrina wiping out New Orleans and its team in 2005 and 2006. If the Sonics were to move to Oklahoma, it would almost have a Green Bay feel to it, but with no history. Gary Payton, a future Hall-of-Famer to me, wont be in the Ford Center seeing his (never played) OKC Sonics jersey sent up to the rafters. Shawn Kemp was called the 'Reign Man' because of his ferocious dunks, making it a play on raining in Seattle. Oklahoma? No. I bet I can't find 20 people in Oklahoma that can name 3 players on the 1979 Championship team. Bennett is already being called the likes of Jim Irsay, Art Modell, Al Davis, and Bud Adams; each of those men moved an NFL team either in the middle of the night (Irsay), against his own promise to the city (Modell), against the league's wishes (Davis twice), and against a city's wishes (Adams). The NBA is with Bennett on the Sonics, claiming he's the victim. I disagree, it's the fans who are the victims. If they stay in Seattle, Oklahoma fans lose. If they move, the Seattle fans lose. I hope this case is decided correctly in my opinion, keeping the team in Seattle. Au revoir.
