Did you catch who said “I’m going to Disneyland!” after the Celtics beat the Lakers in Game 6 the other night?

I’ll give you a hint: it wasn’t one of the players.

I’ll give you another hint: it’s someone who reads this blog regularly. (Nope, it wasn’t Matt Doan, who is a pastor in Orange County.)

Give up? OK. it was me.

Let me take you back to a PFB post right before the NBA playoffs started where I was examining the pre-season NBA picks I had made. (Remember, right before the playoffs started all the talk was about the West and how strong it was from the top seed to the eighth.) In that post I said,

“If I had a redo, I’d probably take Boston over San Antonio in the Finals (or maybe Detroit over the Lakers). I do think the East will win, unless LeBron somehow gets the Cavs back to the Finals. (FYI…Boston went 25-5 against the “mighty” West this year.)”

I’m not claiming to be Nostradamus with those predictions. Admittedly, they were pretty safe. But in a comment to my post, loyal PFB reader (and pastor) Matt Doan said:

“I can’t believe you are using your brillant blog to unfairly criticize the mighty WEST. Disneyland tickets on me for the PFB Family if an East team even wins a game in the finals…Wait edit that (my wife just freaked out) Disneyland ticker[sic] for you and your family if the Eastern Team wins the NBA finals.”

Well, well, well. What do you know? Looks like I need to start looking into some plane tickets…

(have I mentioned that Matt is a pastor?)
