The notion that a guy who barely averaged double digits deserves the Finals MVP is pretty far fetched. Kobe was pretty much a lock to get it, Gasol was the only other guy who had any chance.
Don't get me wrong, Fisher was clutch, and those two three point daggers in game 4 were obviously crucial, but its pretty obvious that Kobe is BY FAR the most valuable player on that team.
As for the Celtics, whoever said they are a different team this year is dead on. Even with Garnett, I still don't think they would've reached the finals this year. What I wish we could've seen was last years finals matchup, only with Bynum (and Ariza playing his ass off). I still think the Celtics would've won, but it would have been a much better series.
Yeah, I was pretty pissed off last year.
I think this year's team would beat last year's Celtics.
