Now that the Miami Heat officially eliminated the Chicago Bulls with their Dallas Mavericks-like comeback in Game Five, we can now look toward the NBA Finals I didn't want to see.
The Finals have an "Alien vs. Predator" feel to them seeing as how whoever wins I lose.
I was a part of the group of people that immediately hated the Heat for forming the dream team with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. I refuse to jump on the bandwagon now. And as much as I should root for the Mavericks so I can say my Los Angeles Lakers were defeated by the champs, I can't do it.
I wanted to see the Bulls back in the Finals. It would have been very NBA-on-NBC-esque. Plus, how cool would it have been to hear the Bulls intro music during their starting lineups for the Finals. I have goosebumps thinking about it, but it wasn't meant to be this year.
Instead, the team we all wanted to fail is in the Finals against this year's "America's Sweetheart." (*GAG*)
I'm pretty much over my Lakers hangover, but not having Oklahoma City vs. Chicago is a bummer to me. I'll watch the Finals this year because I love basketball and even though I hate the Heat they are fun to watch, but I still feel like a Finals loser this year.
