The Present

I just came from being the last-minute sub-date on a fun wedding, and I'm totally cool with that. Weddings rock the boat and I'm pleased I was a part of one that had open bar for awhile, now all I have to do is find a way back to Lake Windsor Country Club, thanks Andy.

SO... I loved being a last minute sub, I had a great time. I hung out with a gaggle of people I didn't expect and had a great free meal. DO NOT DENY A WEDDING EVER, I had a phenomenal time and best of luck Emily and Matt.

Let's get down to business. Kobe is outrageuously overrated as Derek Fisher and Pau Gasol carried him over the top while Kobe shot 5-14 with 4 turnovers. This is the first final where the star player gave up on playing basketball and his team somehow found a way to win. I fucking hate Kobe running into Dwight Howard and Hedo and drawing fouls despite the fact he elbowed Jameer Nelson in the face and conveniently didn't get whistled. Officiating basketball is outrageously difficult, but watching him hit Jameer Nelson in the face and nothing being called was just TERRIBLE.

Kobe is SO FAR from Jordan it makes me cry. He is surrounded by talent that allows Lamer Odom to be a 6th man despite that he was a former all-star. Weird that Derek Fisher didn't stay within his 9 PPG and no other game stats and transformed into BIG SHOT BOB when things were on the line. Please take note when KOBE, "THE CLOSER" had a chance to handle shit he failed miserably and let Lamer, Gasol, and Fisher handle his job while he couldn't hit a shot like Greg Norman in a clutch situation.

Trevor Ariza and Pau Gasol are the real reason for the Lakers success. Ariza was acquired in a steal from Orlando, ironic isn't it? Gasol was stolen from the Grizzlies as the perfect post player for Tex's Triangle Offense. Gasol handles everything in that offense because he can do everything, unlike D-Howard's one-dribble and a laser hook. Ariza is guarding players making 8 million a year more than him and hitting 45% of triples. He is the reason the Laker's aren't crying down 3-1 and it secretly kills me Kobe is going to be finals MVP because he's failed at all critical junctures to lead the Laker's to a Finals Win, but has had no trouble winning those games still.

FUCK KOBE AND THE RAPE HAPPY HORSE HE RODE IN ON. WAIT UNTIL KOBE ISN'T SURROUNDED BY ALL THIS TALENT BECAUSE HE'S FUCKING DONE AFTER THAT. PRETTY SWEET PLAYING WITH GREAT PLAYERS ALL FUCKING DAY. This ring will be his ring without Shaq, but it's realistically Gasol's team in the Finals. He has to hold down Dwight Howard while still producing on offense. Bynum is only good for 10 minutes and six fouls, so after that happens it's up to Gasol occasionally spelled by Odom to conquer the Herculian Beast who looks like he should've starred in 300. Why can't Kobe play on the Bucks and just epicly fail like he deserves?
