Some things never change...
Lakers vs. Celtics...
Wow...All is right with the basketball gods on this day. The Celtics and the Lakers are back on the grandest stage in basketball. In a very 'new school' NBA where the old and the new are in direct conflict with each other on so many levels, this is something goes back to the very essence of what the NBA is all about.
The rivalry to end all rivalries has been rekindled anew. New coaches; New players, same tradition. It's something that long time fans of the league have been chomping at the bit for. This year's match-up between the two teams is gonna be an intruiging one. the Celtics were essentially built to win the title right now. Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett have essentially willed the franchise to this championship series appearence. Kobe Bryant has matured and allowed the positive development of the current Laker's squad around him. There are plenty of storylines and subplots that will be closely explored uring the course of the series.
Storylines aside, the marquee names and talent are there in spades. That means good things for us as basketball purists.
Let the games begin!!!!
