In watching the NBA Finals, you can tell the superior team not by the score or by individual performances, but by team cohesiveness. The Lakers are constantly yelling at each other whenever someone makes a mistake or a bad play. Kobe Bryant in particular is guilty of this — he always seems to be glowering at his teammates. The Celtics, no matter what happens, always seem to be a team. They seem to realize that people will make mistakes, and consistently work hard together to fix them. You never see any member of the Celtics angry with a teammate. If it does happen, it’s kept away from the public eye. The two benches are good indicators as well — the Celtics bench is always standing and cheering on their team, while the Lakers are sitting. To me, it shows why the Celtics are up three games to one, and why they will win the NBA championship.
