Bark like KG, Pierce like Paul

War Kg!! Before I move into the productive portion of my year, I would like to recap the past NBA season and go over some of the myths that have been perpetuated over the past 12 months.

A year ago, the season started with a trade and ended with a BANG. I have already commented on many of these trades, KG (Loved it obviously), Shaq (still love it), Kidd (Hated it), Charmin (Heist, but still TBD).

While I appreciate what Pierce had done throughout the playoffs I believed that Allen should have been the finals MVP. Now on to the myths...

Myth 1 the Western Conference is better than the eastern conference How anyone can still believe this is beyond me, while every year basketball pundits and experts claim that the Western Conference Finals Should be the real finals, the Eastern representative always puts up an adequate fight, (which is more than the Lakers could say in this finals. Was there ever a doubt who was going to win this series after the opening tip?) This brings me to my next myth.

Myth 2 the Lakers are set up better than any team for next year.
Even the Lakers don’t believe this myth as Lamar Odom went from potential champion to an expiring contract faster than I could say “Charmin”.

Myth 3 Andrew Bynum will help lead the Lakers to the promise land next year and for the subsequent decade.
If (note not when) Bynum does come back, people need to realize that he averaged 13 and 10 and had not played well for even 1 full season.

Myth 4 the CAVs suck.
Besides being the closest team to dethroning the Celtics and the only team to earn their respect, the cavs were one PJ Brown jumper away from winning the championship.
