Book it, done

I will be watching Game 5 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals between the Rockets and Lakers tonight after trivia. But before it comes on, let me give you a little "next week on an all new LOST" type of preview of what will surely transpire.

The series is tied 2 games a piece. Since this game will be played in Los Angeles, the Rockets will have a lead at halftime, maybe 10-12 points. The Lakers will struggle in the 3rd quarter but so will the Rockets. The fourth quarter will start with a slim Rockets lead of only 2-6 points. The Rockets will widen that lead to 10 points at the 8 minutes to go mark of the game.

Suddenly, the Rockets will begin to make mental mistakes and commit fouls only when Kobe has the ball. He will sink all his free throws. The refs will rediscover that the traveling rule still exists and call it several times against the Rockets in the closing minutes. Finally, a defensive 3 seconds in the paint technical foul, something they havent called all night, will be called on the Rockets sending Kobe to the line with 30 seconds to go which will leave the Rockets only up by 1.

Ron Artest will go for an offensive rebound but it will be violently stripped by Kobe and a foul will be called on Artest. Kobe goes to the line and sinks both shots to put the Lakers up by one with 10 seconds to go. Kobe punches Ron Artest in the face on the inbound play and makes an easy layup to secure the win. Ron Artest gets a technical for complaining about it to the refs and gets a 10 game suspension. Laker fans spend the next 2 days applauding the refs for their fair and balanced officiating.

Think Im crazy? Just watch the game tonight.
