By Sam Smith (Bulls.com)Call me unimpressed. So if that’s all you’ve got…
Miami looked more like a team playing in weekend game at the Venice Beach basketball courts, with lots of one-on-one play and the big guys who should be rebounding dribbling around the perimeter and launching shots instead.
The Lakers looked positively satisfied, all but Kobe Bryant, that they never could be called losers again given those two championships. And it’s hard to see Pau Gasol, Ron Artest and Lamar Odom caring that much more than they did Sunday, which was not much at all.
And, yes, the Celtics were deftly efficient, though that much celebrated size was reduced to Glen “Big Baby” Davis as their “big man” down the stretch with the other bigs watching or hurt. Kevin Garnett, classy as usual, cheap shot and undercut his way around and, according to Yahoo!, told a ball boy seeking an autograph afterward he has as much chance of that as catching Bin Laden. Are you sure he really didn’t wish cancer on Charlie Villanueva? Don’t people feel dirty rooting for him?
