The short version is that the Celtics didn't have a guy that could create their own shot in the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter whereas the Lakers did (in Kobe).
I actually am a huge basketball fan, so I really enjoyed the series even though it wasn't pretty at times.

Your second point is right on the money, IMO
Your first point...
When I first found out that the T-Wolves traded KG for a bag of magic beans I was upset to say the least.
I knew before the season started that the Celtics were a Finals "shoe in" the way they stacked the deck.
How could you not trade a draft pick for a future HOFer with some prime left in him? How many draft picks will be future HOFers?
