analysis of the NBA final
Boston celtics had traded for the Big 3(Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett) and ever since they had been playing well thru the season being the top team in the league. But the media have been focusing on the Western side and stating that Eastern Conference is a weaker team. most stated that a Western team will win the NBA title. During the Playoff, boston was unable to win an away game and had to play a game 7 with a younger Alanta Hawks and a one-man team Cleveland. most felt that maybe boston isn't that good after all. Ray allen wasn't making shot despite being a shooter. his form wasn't any where near what he should be. but in the Conference final against the Piston, he found his form and starting scoring and helping boston to win Away game and took the series with a 4-2 victory.
Now in the NBA final. they played well and maintain their form, conquering the Lakers with a 3-1 lead. then even overcome a 24 points deficit. They look like a more promising team. Lakers had a rough road throught out the season. Kobe Bryant wanted to be traded off as the management wasn't giving him what he want. They are not giving him a supporting cast. at the start of the season, we saw that the bench and the rest of the player step up and score for the team. Kobe merely assist his team mate by drawing the defence. but no one expected them to be a title contender. then andrew bynum begin to shine for the lakers being one of the dominating center in the NBA. then bynum sprain his knee and out for the seaon. things look bad for the lakers, by they got pal gasol (once nike player of the year.) he quickly linked with the lakers and they became a contender. lamar odom not wanting to be the 2nd scorer now became a 3rd scorer which make him better. he doesn't like to be in the limelight. slowly, they lead the western conference and be the top team in the west. and Kobe got his first ever season MVP. in the playoff, the swept the denver, a 4-2 win over utah, and a 4-1 win over defending champ spurs. they play convincingly thru the playoff. but in the final, the were unable to win at boston, and lost in game 4 despite a 24 point lead. Eastern top team against Western top team. the journey of the nba final team... -keny |
