I poured a perfect pint to celebrate the Lakers winning yet another conference championship. For the 30th time in the NBA's 63 seasons (including the pre-merger BAA seasons), the Lakers will play for the championship. If they win, they will have taken almost a quarter - 15 - of the league's titles over that time.
The game itself was awesome. Aside from a few early turnovers, the Lakers played sound basketball the entire game. They got 40 points from the bench, shot 24 for 24 from the foul line, they got strong efforts from Odom, Ariza and Walton, 10 assists from Kobe and five guys scored 10 points or more.
I drank from my Sheffield United glass. My Blades lost the big game on Monday to 5th place Burnley, and failed to earned promotion to the Premiership.
