Congratulations! Bring out the bubbly! Sixteenth win! Sweet Sixteen is ours..Those Lakers brought the house down in game #6 beating the Boston Celtics big time and then came our biggy...game #7...battling for the Finals Championship..All through out this game the Celtics had it sewed up..even at half time they were ahead. Phil Jackson, coach, must have given some pep talk because late in the 3rd quarter our team came alive..in fourth quarter they zoomed ahead and remained ahead to win the game for us..the fans went wild! Score: 83-79. The Boston team was terrific, no doubt about it but when Ron Artest, Derek Fisher, Sasha, Pau Gasol and our MVP Kobe Bryant turned on the charm it was evident our confetti would fall, our dreams were for real and the day was ours to celebrate! Those trophies sure are huge and mighty pretty! We earned our place to pause and be grateful for the courage to win, for the right of passage, all with smiles on our faces, so enjoy the moment.
