NBA Finals

NBA Finals: I'm thinking it would be really cool to have the Celtics and the Lakers facing each other in the finals. And I think that only about three people will watch if its the Pistons and Spurs.

I must disagree... I think the Celtics are overrated, and I as a Blazer fan I hate Kobe... so that would be the only final I wouldn't watch. However, a Spurs Pistons matchup would be the two most experienced playoff teams battling once again. In Duncan vs. Sheed you have a Hall of Famer vs one of the few people who can defend him, in Parker vs Billups you have old vs. new school, and Manu vs. Rip Hamilton/Prince you have spunk vs traditional shooters. It may not be as flashy, but it is a way better match up to watch. It'd only be ugly b/c as basketball fans we have no patience to watch good defense.

JH has made the understatement of the post-season.

Our apathy runneth over at the prospect of a Spurs vs. Pistons match up.

Gimme some old time basketball, Celtics vs. the Mighty Lakers.

Can you imagine all the great love we'd see on ESPN Classic leading up to and during that series?

Oddly enough, I was more certain of the Celtics fulfilling their end of the bargain at the start of the playoffs than the Mighty Lakers.

At this point, however, my thinking is reversed.

Still, the Spurs are no walk in the park. They don't match up well with Kobe, but this is a Shaq-less team, so their previous success may not factor into the mix.

Quit hatin' on the Spurs.
This is a great team, and I'm not just talking about basketball.
David Robinson's legacy is still being seen.
It's time to move beyond the Laker and Celtic days.

I agree completely. Please let it be Lakers vs. Celtics...

Lakers would win btw.

There's another Bobcats fan out there! Who-hoo!!! I was beginning to get an Elijah complex.

Being from Charlotte and a Bobcats fan, I'm just glad the Hornets are out. :)

The NBA is slow-motion basketball.

...about three people will watch...

Does that include all those who fall asleep watching?

Well since my team the Mavs got booted early I have not paid as much attention to the playoffs, but would love a Celtics-Lakers matchup.

Kobe vs KG not quite Magic vs Bird but it still provides a storyline matchup not seen in quite sometime!!

BTW-Zach is wrong, Celtics in 6

I only watch when the Wizards are good... which means I save a lot of time :)

I too am a Bobcats fan. However, I want to see the Pistons and the Lakers in the finals. Maybe Boston is waking back up after two 7 game series...we'll see.

Totally agree. I didn't realize you were an NBA fan. If it ends up being Celtics v. Lakers, who will you pull for?

Posted by Kevin Rogers | May 21, 2008 6:48 PM

I'd like to see Celtics-Lakers also. I'm a Knicks fan and hope their next trip to the Finals comes in my lifetime !

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
Give Me An Answer Highschool Conference: I'm looking forward to joining Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Shane & Shane and hip-hop artist Flame at the SBTS conference for highschool students next spring. Details.
Stephen Altrogge Reviews Dug Down Deep: Over at the Blazing Center blog they've posted a very generous review of the book. Read it.
