(just pretend that's ED)
vs.
Their 13-3 Toronto Raptors
(and pretend that's Amir on the right I guess)
Always a fun game, these two teams have never even been roughly equal in the standings. After years of calling for the tank to roll in, the Raptors have passed that on to the proud Lakers who have never intentionally tanked until last year where they clearly intentionally tanked towards the end.
Key players:
Julius Randle, Demar Derozan, Bruno Caboclo, Steve Nash
Look for some quality towel waving. Who will cheer on their own squad to victory? Who has the will power and sheer charisma to will their team to a win without having any sort of contribution to speak of? Who will even be sitting on the sidelines for this epic battle that's sure to go down to the wire for absolutely no conceivable reason!?
Watch as Kobe becomes the first player ever to reach the vaunted 32124 point, 6683 rebounds, and 5992 assist career mark. Each team stands to mirror each other as they will inevitably have mirrored records before and after the game! Oh the duality of nature!
And now for some eye candy!
