Beat the Heat
At this point, I don’t even care who wins it all. Just not the Heat. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m actually rooting for the Celtics. To all my fellow die-hard Knicks fans out there, I’m sorry. The Heat are just too, too annoying. It’s all theatrics with them – I feel like the entire team sees the game as a performance on stage. They’re so Hollywood it’s unbelievable. Take, for example, LeBron’s mouth guard with the number XVI monogrammed into it (the number of games it takes to win a championship). Besides the fact that it makes him look like a homeless person, it’s also just so flashy and unnecessary.
I would love to see the Thunder make a comeback in this series. The Spurs are not as unlikable as the Heat, but they are so boring it’s painful. They go out on the court with the precision of a brain surgeon but the personality of a linen closet. Tim Duncan has to be one of my least favorite players ever, Manu Ginobli is a pure pest that thrives off of pure garbage shots, and Tony Parker is French (enough said). Besides my distaste for San Antonio, OKC is also my back-up team. My dad and I have decided that if the Knicks were to ever hire Isiah Thomas again, we’re jumping ship and becoming Thunder fans. Our hearts could not bear the pain of watching meddling James Dolan making such a colossal error (again).
I know the Celtics aren’t getting back into this series. Like Mike Francesa said today, they put up the performance of a lifetime last night, and still lost. Not a good sign. I feel bad because they deserved that game, no doubt about it, and the Heat stole it from them.
In conclusion, the Heat are headed to the Finals. All I need is someone to beat them in the Finals. But is it too much to ask for that team to be the Thunder?
