First of all, I’d like to offer my most sincere apologies for the delay in between the axe murdering defeat of the Los Angeles Lakers at the hands of the Boston Celtics, but seeing as it was their NBA record 17th title, and the first since 1986 (can’t say I remember that one), I thought that instead of immediately pumping out a sloppy reaction column to the Celtics’ 39 point mop-the-floor-with-Pau-and-Kobe victory, I’d spend two days getting hammered in celebration and then pump out a sloppy reaction column later (that’s it boy, show off those $100,000 liberal arts study skills!). So without further ado, let the praise, adulation, and probably more than a few sick burns commence!

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was. I’m way too burned out on the Celtics/Lakers nostalgia trip to really engage this, but I think that this is worth pointing out (mostly because it’s an opportunity to poke at the national sports media for their laughably predictable analysis and Finals picks). I just find it somewhat strange that after so many years of going for the same fools gold, the talking heads of the Association can’t figure anything out.

o do their Ring Ceremony and trotted out a pretty impressive list of the usual suspects (Bobby Orr, Bill Russell) to help them do it. And Bill Buckner wound up and threw the ceremonial first pitch to his old teammate, Dewey Evans.
