The media has everyone looking forward to a Kobe versus LeBron showdown, however unless "they" know about something I don't...then the conference finals determine who will play for the 'chip, and we still have a long way to go before June 4th.

When I was in the 12th grade, one of my teachers made a comment about senioritis. Until that day I had never heard that term...in fact I thought it was something lame that he made up, as I went through my entire final year of high school not knowing what the word meant.
This morning my gears were turning about the eastern and western conference finals, and while the Cavaliers are down in their series against Orlando, and the Lake Show are going back and forth with Denver, it seems to me that LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony have this thing called senioritis...
So I can't write a story about a word that my English teacher made up...and I cannot use something that never knew the meaning of it can I...so the first thing I did was Google the word, and what I found was interesting.
Read about it here: Senioritis
In a nutshell, it is used when students work so hard to get the point of graduation, and then they coast, because they understand that things will be over very soon. Now don't get me wrong, LeBron and Carmelo are playing VERY well, however they are so close but so far to winning the NBA Finals. Are they coasting, and going through the motions...NO they are not.
So where does my theory make sense...well their respective teams are going through the motions. Nothing against the Lakers or Magic, but each team hosts an Olympic superstar and it is collectively that the series and championship will be won as a team.
The Lakers experienced poor team play and senioritis last year against the Celtics...and now they are playing to get back to the big stage of the Finals. As Yogi Berra once proclaimed..."it ain't over 'til it's over..." Anyone can win either series and play for the title...yes you read that correctly.
Tonight the Cavs/Magic series resumes in Cleveland. Game time is 8:30PM EST, and I don't make predictions...I just watch the games.

AG you always have very good and interesting ways to look at the games.
ooooohhh I like that, I dont make predictions I just watch games...LOL. This was probably the most insightful thing I've read in a long time. It definitely puts things into persepective. I respect all 4 olympians for playing since last years playoffs, through the summer, through the season and deep into the playoffs. May the best teams win(LA all the way lol)
Good one AG.
I wanted to write a story different than what the main stream media wrote, and this idea just popped into my mind, so I'm happy that you (Sarah H, and MBC) appreciated it. Thank you!
Great Article and I really liked the angle you chose to go with it!! Wonderful Job........always wise to go far left every so often and not the norm. Well done!
