NBA Finals Game 6 Rundown. Also Soccer.
Last night was game 6 of the NBA Finals. Celtics Vs. Lakers. I had two 36 packs (two!), tequila, hot dogs, homemade potato salad and chips and salsa and EVERYTHING that should have made that game the most fun house party ever.
And then my cable went out.
Really? TV gods? REALLY? You’ve got to be kidding me.
Anyway, we begrudgingly zoomed over to a local bar and watched the rest.
Let’s give Game 6 a nice, solid, BCU run down.
1) Celtics scored like… 13 points?
Not really, but 67? Jeez. I’ve seen football games with scores that low (not really). The Lakers wiped the proverbial floor with the Celts and for all of us Laker fans (or happen to be in a bar with Lakers fans) t’was awesome. However, boo, Celts. Missed layups and dunks? Is this the finals or my dad and his co-workers trying to escape middle age? Embarrassing.
2) PAU! PAU! POW! POW!
17 foot tall Pau bounced back from a pretty lame game 5, and from where I was sitting (on a bar stool at Black Angus, damn you, AT&T!!!) , he was the best player on the court. And that’s saying something considering Kobe “DaVinci of Drawing Fouls*” Bryant was sharing it with him.
3) Kendrick Perkins
According to an unnamed source, he’s done-zo for the series.
4) Game 7!
Thursday Thursday Thursday! Winner takes all Game 7 is going to be intense. In my ideal scenario, my TV works, I get all up in that NBA Finals drinking game, and the game gets down to the last milliseconds, in which Kobe makes a shot from halfcourt to win it.
We’ll see.
Oh, also, I think the World Cup is still happening.
