Celtics and Pacman are no 1

After 22 years the Celtics have finally nailed it.

A lot of experts have said that the Lakers will win the series in these years final.
Most coaches in Manila predicted the Lakers will win because of Kobe and the Zen Master and the early series they had at the west. They were all wrong.

My friends were saying that the Celtics will loose. They were pointed out that despite having the best record in the regular season they had to go to a game 7 with the Hawks, who were the bottom seed at the play offs. They could not even finish Atlanta early, and then had another 7 series with Cleveland and a tough 6 game series with Detroit.
While at the west, LA were well rested did not find any opposition.

I predicted that the Celtics will win in 7 games, they won it on 6 with a 40 plus margin.
These hidden factors why Celtic’s are the new champs;
Danny Aige, this years Executive of the year that build the team.
Sam Cassel, despite his age still give a few sure points when needed, and the rest of the bench was deep despite lacking in All Star quality.
The East is the toughest conference in the NBA that made the Celtics more cohesive.
The long series they had with Atlanta, Cleveland and Detroit made the Celtics dangerous.
Based on the championship series you can see how Boston won their home games and win that decisive one game on the road from a record 24 points behind in game 4 .

I know they will loose Game 5 to take it home.
That was the plan anyway. Win one on the road and not loose at home.
And this time I was right.

And then there was Tiger.
Having not played for months after a knee injury, play par golf and win The US open in extra 19 holes is just unbelievable. Even the best script writers in Hollywood cant write that story. Grimacing on every drive and not hitting the fairways and still win is just pure Legend.

The Euro 08, as football in general is always un predictable.
Who would have thought that France and Portugal will go home so early ?
My last two teams are Netherlands and Italy, and they too are going home.
You can not even predict a game anymore.

I don’t like to predict but Spain will not win it.

Another Ferrari one two in France, wheres BMW? heheh Hamilton does not score and looks good for Ferrari.


Finally Manny Pacquio is now Yahoo!’s number one pound per pound boxer in the world. Cant wait for next weekends fight party at home. Diaz is going down and Hatton is next.

"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now"

"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship from the movie Mannequin was the number one the song , Tanduay won the Open conference in the PBA, Ronald Reagan was US president, The reigning Tour de France champion is Greg LeMond, Coventry City won the FA cup and a band named Guns and Roses were releasing their debut album. The was no cable and satellite TV, internet, wifi , broadband or cellphones. Nobody have heard of a guy named Michael Jordan.

The year was 1987.

This was the last time The Celtics and Lakers have meet for the NBA finals, a rivalry that started the decade.

How time flies by, its been 21 years .

Growing up near an American air base, we had special a UHF antenna so that we can get signals from US Arm forces TV. The best finals in the 80's live on TV during breakfast, no need to wait for the late night news.The games were broadcast after a week on local TV , after they get thier VCR copies from the States.

I still can name the Lakers ; Magic, Jabbar, Cooper, Scott, Worthy, Rambis and AC Green.
Yeah, I was Laker fan back them, they had more team work. Celtics were build around Bird.

How 21 years have passed so fast.

I have been waiting for NBA final match up for years.
But this time I'm going for the Celtics 4-3 on 7 games.
