The start of the NBC Finals has been nothing short of a buzzkill. A 2 - 0 lead by the Celtics is not only disappointing, but embarrassing. When Jay Leno starts using you in his jokes, you know it's bad. He took plenty of jabs at the Lakers last night during his monologue. So can the Lakers pull off a comeback? They're gonna need a lot of luck. Only three teams in NBA Finals history have ever come back from a 2 - 0 deficit.
After two disappointing days in Boston, the Lakers are finally playing at home and fans are throwing full support behind the purple and gold...and they're throwing plenty of green into the mix. Green...as in thousands of dollars for seats at tonight's game at the Staples Center. The seats up in the nose bleed start...yes, that's start...for $2600 dollars. And if you'd like to sit courtside, you may have to sell your car to get some additional dough. That's because one person is selling a courtside ticket for $37, 839! Honestly, you can buy the best plasma TV in town, throw an amazing party and still buy a car for that kind of money.
Will Kobe and the gang pull off a win tonight? Let's hope so because there's a lot of pride, and money, riding on it!
