Game 7 Sunday

The NBA and their fans are holding their collective breath as we await the start of game 7 Sunday. In a few short hours, we can have a star studded powerhouse "final four" in Cleveland, Boston, Denver, and L.A. Or we can have the temporary satisfaction of a road team upset that will land Houston and Orlando in their respective conference finals. Now let's be honest, do we really want to see Denver vs Houston and Cleveland vs Orlando? Absolutely not!!! I'm sure the NBA front office would anonymously agree. Los Angeles has been the team to beat all season, but Denver has come on strong as the team to beat in the Western Conference playoffs. The Nuggets aggressive style of play allowed them to dominate Dallas. The Lakers play a similar style to the Mavs, but have superior athletes in the post. They also have some guy named Kobe. That would/should be an amazing series. Cleveland awaits the Boston/Orlando winner. And as much as I would like to see "amazing" happen, I'm rooting for Boston as if I just bet the mortgage on it. Cleveland is playing the best ball out of everyone. Boston is still the champ until someone knocks them off. LaBron James is MVP, but needs to beat the best in order to cement his status as the "King". Magic, Bird, and Jordan all had to knock off the champs on their way to the top spot. It would only be right to play the Celtics, who sent LaBron packing in 7 games on their way to the championship last year. So fans, let's ban together and root for tomorrow instead of today. Let's pray on this game 7 Sunday for no upsets.
