I really haven’t watched the Lakers-Celtics much but caught most of the 2nd half last night (outside of Pittsburgh last night and today). In a word, both of these teams are pretty dreadful to watch. I don’t think I give Paul Pierce enough credit because he just looks goofy to me for some reason. Garnett has done nothing special throughout the series. The Lakers really look like not much beyond Bryant. Gasol can’t magically be transformed into some sort of brute inside, and he actually looked more active around the boards than he ever did in Memphis. I don’t know, I think I’d just rather see the results of who wins or not.
As an aside, is there any profession where previous experience matters less than an NBA Head Coach? Would a company take its best salesman and make him CEO? The NBA perplexes me, I must admit.
