Last night in … a return

The Lakers beat the Celtics in the Finals last year to become the 2009-10 NBA champions. Most of you are probably aware of that fact, but there is a certain segment of the population that thinks the Lakers are fake titlists, and that had a certain someone not gotten hurt in Game 6, then the final results would have been different. I’m not going to tell you who this segment is, but it starts with a B, ends in an S, and has Oston Celtics fan in the middle.

That certain someone, a.k.a. Kendrick Perkins, made his return to the Celtics lineup last night after missing the first half of the season recovering from a torn ACL, chipping in seven points and six rebounds in a 112-95 win over the lowly Cavaliers.

With Perkins back, the Celtics are now whole again (though I am skeptical they’ll remain so through the rest of the season), and ready to prove to the basketball world that last season should have had a different ending — or so they claim. Whether that’s the case or not, we won’t know until the playoffs.

    Perk is looking great. I just wish everyone would quit bashing the Celtics for their loss last year, where they used Perk as an “excuse” for not winning. I don’t think anyone was makihg excuses, just telling it like it is. Had Perk not gotten injured we may have had a better chance….but I think all teams have been in that situation….so lay off the Celtics. They are a great team among many.
    Also, I would like to know how it is that Kobe is the golden boy no matter what. I know the guys got skills, but he isn’t infallable, yet I haven’t seen anything but praise. He isn’t the only great player in the league, but alot of people seem to think he is” the second coming” All I’m asking is tell it like it really is, the whole truth. He is only a man, who happens to have a great gift. The Lakers win and it is all Kobe, they lose and Kobe seems to be suddenly out of the picture.
    I think everyone is entitled to their opinion and this is just mine….like it, don’t like it.
