BLUNDER BY BOSTON!

I'm fine when a team does everything in their power to win, but still falls short. It happens. The Boston Celtics, though, did everything in their power to lose. The winning piece to the puzzle was out there waiting to be called upon, but the phone never rang. With each passing game I thought to myself maybe they're just drawing it out for suspense and springing the secret weapon in game 7. A little risky but worth it. Game 7 came and went along with the chance at another NBA championship for the Boston Celtics. What, or better yet, who, was the secret weapon never revealed. The "Kobe Stopper" Ruben Patterson. A simple call to Ru Patt would have solved all the Kobe woes for the "mean green", but foolish team management cost them. They could have replaced any Celtic player with the "Kobe Stopper". Garnett, see ya. Allen, peace. Paul Pierce, you're outta here. But instead they opt to throw their season out the window. Quite sad when you think about it. Despite being played in Los Angeles "Kobe Stopper" chants echoed throughout the Staples Center. But the chants were all for not, as the mighty Patterson never arrived. Some say his price was too high, but there should be no price on winning an NBA title, especially over your arch rivals. Patterson only required $48 million per quarter, and had he played the 4th quarter of game 7 they would be drinking victory champaigne and not King Cobra. So to Boston, all I can say is YOU FAIL!
