I've seen more competitive contests in girls CIF basketball playoff first-round games.
I can't recall an NBA championship game that was such a blatant mismatch.
Any unbiased observer who watched the first five game of the Lakers-Boston series would have opined that the Celtics were the superior team.
Now, after the tail-whipping the Lakers got in Boston tonight, even the most hard-core of Lakers' honks will have to readily concede that the NBA's best team won the championship.
Every Eastern Conference opponent (Atlanta, Cleveland and Detroit) were much more competitive against the Celtics than were the Lakers.
And, once and for all, can we cool all of this "Kobe Bryant is as good as, or better than, Michael Jordan was"?
That myth got trounced in the series as well.
