LA Lakers Win It in Big Game Seven!

I'm a bit late in posting this, but I unexpectedly ended up working for 26 hours before the big Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals series. The last thing I felt like doing was posting anything on my blog. I had spent all that time on a malfunctioning server. After 26 grueling hours, I needed a break from technology.

I was whooped down when I finally got home. I was only sustained by a 30 minute nap and a 5 hour break that occurred between getting of at 5:00 PM Wednesday night and having to go back into the office at 10:00 PM. I ended up staying up all night at work, and then into the morning. I worked Thursday and all the way until 6:30 PM. Ugh!

I felt like a zombie.

But, I just HAD to watch Game 7 after I finally got home!

And it was great!

It makes sense that this series came down to a final "Game 7". Both teams were really good this year and deserved to be at the top. Neither team was going to lay down and let the other simply "win".

But a sporting series usually has an odd number of games for a reason. They only give out one big trophey at the end. And this year, it went to the LA Lakers!

To see a great best of seven series by two great teams that was tied at the six minute mark was a thrill! And even better when the team you're rooting for wins!!

What a way to end a 26 hour workday from hell!

Woot! Woot!

NBA Awesomeness!

I'm an LA Lakers fan. Have been since Magic Johnson graced the basketball court.

My second favorite team is the Boston Celtics. I admire their rivalry against the Lakers. Larry Bird was awesome, as well as the other Celtics of that era that played by his side. Same goes for the rest of the Lakers, of course.

Regardless of the respect that I have for the Celtics, (and regardless of the fact that I have a little Irish in me) I cheer on the Lakers whenever they are up against any other team. After the Lakers, I cheer on the Celtics.

So, I'm really enjoying this year's NBA playoffs. I almost want them both to win, but deep down inside, I want the Lakers to win it the most.

So, I thought it was total sweetness when Derek Fisher made that one-on-three lay up against the Celtics. I think that was the straw that broke the Celtic's back in Game Three of the 2010 Finals.

Now, if I could just get the newest season of the IT Crowd on DVD-- man, that would make for a perfect evening!
