I know that this is a Minnesota Vikings blog, but I need to get a few NBA things off my chest. I’d also like to confess something to my readers that love all Minnesota sports. I am a Lakers fan, and I’d like to apologize if you feel used, deceived, or led astray. Just think about it this way; the Los Angeles Lakers started as the Minneapolis Lakers. So while your reading my blogs in a seedy, hourly motel, texting the Timberwolves that your working late again, wondering if they are going to burst through the door and catch you eyeballs deep in your laptop, just remember that the Lakers were the original Minnesota basketball team. We’re not so different after all.
In case you didn’t hear, the Boston Celtics won the NBA Finals on Monday night after tossing the Lakers salad to the tune of a 139 to 107 victory. The Lakers finish the season with a 34-9 record. Hold on a minute (mental math: 34+9=43). Sorry for the confusion, the Boston Celtics beat the Los Angeles Lakers last night in a meaningless game about halfway through the regular season.
Despite not winning the Finals I would still advise avoiding downtown Boston today because they may be throwing a parade to celebrate their win over the Lakers. I’d expect bars to be full and offices to be as empty as the liquor store shelves. This was the Celtics’ Super Bowl. Be on the lookout for Tom Brady and Gronk too, I’m sure they will make an appearance. Gronk will probably spike a Lego LeBron James head. Riot police, prepare yourselves.
I’m trying to understand their excitement but when you’re basically guaranteed another Lakers championship this year it’s hard to get too worked up in the regular season. I guess since they know they won’t even make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, beating a bitter rival is about as good as it get this season. And it was definitely a good beating. They trampled an injured Anthony Davis, an injured Rajon Rondo, and a disinterested LeBron James.
And I didn’t wanna write a blog because I didn’t want anyone thinking I still cared, I don’t, but you still hit my timeline up so this is my response I’m sending you, I hope you read it.
I wish we could run circles around you in the finals but unfortunately we have a date with The Greek Freak. We might meet again in a meaningful series, but not until you upgrade that roster. Imagine not having two of the best players in the world on your roster. Couldn’t be me.
So enjoy your day. Pop some champagne for me, eat some cake, release the confetti, tip a car over, whatever you want, the day is yours, you’ve earned it after that win. The Lakers have their eyes on grander goals, sorry we looked right over you.
“But what about the Clippers!?!?” they ask. Here is a live look at the LA Clippers right now…
What a joke.
