Bill Simmons Finally Writes Something Worth Reading

Bill Simmons with his first offering worth reading in some time:

Dark and lonely on a summer night
Kill the Lakers
Kill the Lakers
Kobe barking, do he bite?
Kill the Lakers
Kill the Lakers
Raining 3s and and grabbing their neck
Then their hopes we start to wreck
Got every reason -- what the heck?
Kill the Lakers
Kill the Lakers
C-I-L-L
The La-kers

This was an obliteration. There's no other word. Obliteration. The Celtics did more than just capture their 17th title Tuesday night, playing their finest game of the season and crushing the spirit of a longtime foe in the process. Boston 131, Los Angeles 92. And you know what? It wasn't even that close. For Celtics fans, the only way Game 6 could have been more satisfying was if Kobe flipped out in the fourth quarter and punched Sasha Vujacic during a timeout, then got dragged to the locker room by five teammates screaming, "This isn't over! This isn't over!" while Sasha sobbed into a towel. Maybe that didn't happen, but everything else did.

Class guy...I thought he handled himself the way a great Celtic coach should...reminded me of KC in that he was humble. Made Jackson look like the fool he is. No complaining...just sucked it up and played the next game! Congrats!

Yup.

Couldn't win on the road.

Critics galore.

Heavy underdogs in the Finals.

Injuries galore.

Still got it done.
