With all of the Lebron talk each day on the radio and TV it is hard to think of anything else in reference to the NBA. However, there is much to be said about what this "old" Celtics team is doing to the Orlando Magic. Rajon Rondo is on everyone's radar now, his performances have been legendary and he summed up his personality versus Jason Williams in one dive. If I was coach Van Gundy I wouldnt play Williams for the rest of the series and would tell the owner hes gotta go this summer. If you're not going to dive on the floor for a loose ball in the Playoffs! then you dont deserve to call yourself a pro. Rondo however has been doing this for a few years now, he is definitely more of a team leader now but his playoff performances in his career have been nothing less than stellar. the Boston team is poised for another Finals appearance against the Lakeshow. If Andrew Bynum can't get his big ass off the doctors table then it could be a very interesting finals. I'm not necisarily counting out the suns because they played great last night but lets be honest, Kobe isn't going to let this team not get to the Finals. L.A. needs Bynum to be in the lineup or they are going to get pushed around just like it's 2008. All in all I predict a sweep in Boston which will make Paul Pierce's wink an image we will see forever. I also think the Lakers win in 6 and we will have yet another L.A. v Boston NBA Finals. isn't it funny how it all works out? All year we were on a collision course to finally see Lebron v Kobe and it turns out we are gonna have to settle for the greatest rivalry in basketball, bummer...or is it?
