It just never felt right from the jump, guys. It just didn't. The Celtics were injured, and the Rockets (our toughest matchup) lost Yao. It wasn't supposed to be won that way. And the only way to right it is to win the title again, preferably versus the Celtics (but the Cavs will do, too.) But if the Celtics were to win the title this year? Welcome to our worst nightmare.
*exhales* Well, I feel a little bit better now that I got this off my chest. *passes the conch to the next Laker fan*

Makes you sound arrogant as a fan.
A championship is a championship.
Could it be more sentimental if the Lakers beat the Celtics in a Finals rematch? Sure.
But bottomline is, LA won another title, that's it.
