Ever since basketball was indulged by people across the country, we have witnessed team rivals across the board that at the climax, was validated by the Laker-Celtic rivalry, which was shortly relived the last couple of years. Currently, we have two teams that are clearly above head and shoulders in their respective conferences: Lakers and Heat.
The opinion from those who oppose my analysis would be that the Heat have no team around them, or be it that the Heat roster is new to each other. I say fuck that... one reason why?
The NBA will do anything, I MEAN ANYTHING, to get the Heat into the finals against the Lakers (I choose the Lakers to get to the finals, barring them being healthy).
I acknowledge that there is teams in the East that could contend for that position to represent their conference but in all honesty, I don't see how the Magic, nor any team behind the Heat will change the inevitable that is the Eastern Conference team during the 2011 NBA Finals. The same could be said for the West, but in all honesty, the only teams that give the Lakers a scare is either the Thunder (still to young but who knows now with a year of playoff experience) or the Spurs (incorporation of the beast that Splitter should be, and Parker's resurgence to one of the top guards in the league, along with the health of this team is a crucial factor), or the Blazers,(young, talented team that somehow finds a way to be injured)
I won't include the Nuggets (getting old, team chemistry issues, coach Karl's bout with cancer), nor the Mavericks (just plain chokers, therefore, they're automatically disqualified), nor the Rockets (injuries to their best player(s), and potential chemistry issues, starting with the continued attempted acclimatization of Kevin Martin, who I think is an ingrown cancer cell to a team [his game sucks, it fits that category]).
I won't even include Utah and Phoenix because of the loss of high quality players, and highly potential chemistry issues within the respective teams.
.................................................. ...........................................
With Lebron's decision to move to Miami, I honestly think that it has created somewhat of a rivalry with the Lakers, that will soon be taken advantage of for whatever it is worth... This rivalry, for whatever it isn't as of now, will be exacerbated as soon as the season begins, which will ultimately reach it's high point when ESPN begins to pit these two teams as some of the greatest to ever play each other (it's a stretch, but I believe these two teams will be in the finals....and trust me, I fucking hate these two teams, so it kills me to predict such nonsense).
It really sucks, but it should be a fun season, can't wait for it to get here.
:toast (drinking a couple of 24 oz miller lites to enjoy the rest of this young night)
enjoy.
