Stern's dream...

[Air]

NBA Commissioner David Stern stopped by the press room before the game and said he had just met with the referees, I presume to remind them how excited he is about the upcoming Boston-L.A. Finals.

For some reason when this game started, the refs called four fouls on Utah, none on the Lakers, and then tagged Jazz Coach Jerry Sloan with a technical foul.

No need to make it so obvious, guys.

If Stern is worried about a Lakers-Celtics matchup, he ought to be spending most of his time with Boston.

He came here, of course, to hand Bryant the MauricePodoloff Trophy, and as you know, everyone in the NBA would like to win the Podoloff.

Stern, always the NBA salesman, said something ridiculous, like there were many MVP-worthy performances this season, but since there can only be one, oh well, let's give it to Bryant.

The Staples Center crowd, waving MVP placards, wearing "Our MVP" T-shirts and energized by all the freebies, cheered as Bryant told them the Lakers were going to play into June.

It was too loud to hear anything, much less Stern probably say, "thank heavens."

Bryant's promise to the crowd to play into June has the ring of a guarantee, knocking off Utah and whatever team emerges next before traveling to Boston to start the NBA Finals.

he really wants celtics-lakers and he will do all he can do to make this happen. Im sure.

With that being said, it sure as hell is Stern's dream to get a Lakers/Celtics finals. Mine as well.

mmm not really,. lakers yes are playing such an amazing ball..but i can't say that about the C's right now

the lakers can beat the jazz with or without bad calls by refs. if deron williams and boozer combine for 3 points at the half that doesnt have much to do with the refs. ok boozer had the fouls ok but stern didnt seem to influence the play of deron williams. Stern also cant make the lakers hit shots. the celtics almost lost against the hawks so what makes you think stern has this **** planned. maybe its his dream but he's gonna let them play. the celtics also luckily won against the cavs who would have kicked bostons a$$ had lebron made 3 more shots. plus stern wont interfere with the lakers - hornets/spurs matchup.
Give utah a chance and see how they play.
It really is funny how the majority of fans either hate on kobe or kiss his a$$.
