Optimism 91

My heart had a steady thump for the entirety of the game. I saw the Lakers build a commanding lead, impressive to the pundits, awe inspiring to the fans and deflating for the Celtics. But like a movie starring Keanu Reeves, you realize the obvious, a bad line is coming - "I need guns...lots of guns." The Lakers need help, lots of help after losing what would seem an insurmountable lead to the Cs.

I'd like to consider myself an optimist, one that isn't going to count the Lakers out just yet; I'm the guy Ambrose Pierce's (The Devils Dictionary) defined as an optimist - someone who's a proponent of the doctrine that black is white. I know the Lakers look like they're out of it, but I choose to believe that they'll come back winning the next 3 of the last 3 games and end the season as the NBA champions.

Or, I may need to watch more movies starring Keanu Reeves.
