Get your mouse ears ready: Lakers to face Orlando in the NBA Finals

Hope you picked the Magic, because with their 103-90 win Saturday night over the Cleveland Cavaliers (that’s the team LeBron plays for, if you missed it), the 2009 NBA Finals are set.

Why does that classic exchange from "National Lampoon’s Animal House" remind me of last night’s 119-92 series-clinching Game 6 win over the Denver Nuggets. Because whenever a person, team or entity of any sort is describe as rolling, I always think of Bluto’s speech. But unlike the pre-med student now staring at "seven years of college down the drain" and a sarcastic urge to "join the ^*@# peace…
