So the biggest story of the week has to be General Motors filing for bankruptcy. On Monday, General Motors pretty much became Government Motors. With the filing GM will do what companies do when they file for bankrupcty, which is more complex than either you or me really could understand. The New York Times has a great Q&A about what this really all means, which I recommend you read. It will be interesting how the GM dealers in Ventura County react to the bankruptcy.
On to more important news, the Los Angeles Lakers have made the NBA Finals. After a tough division final against the Denver Nuggets the Lakers were able to pull out a series win to advance. The finals start this Thursday with the Lakers taking on the Orlando Magic. It will be a great series considering the Magic won both games against the Lakers during the regular season. And to blend some sports and politics, President Obama was asked who would win, to which he responded, "Lakers in 6, I think."
Lakers made that one look easy, even my fellow Arizona Wildcat Luke Walton had a great game! Huge game for Kobe, it'll be interesting to see how frequently Orlando double-teams him in Game 2.
Noticed a lot of Laker gear around Oxnard today, too. Pretty cool to see people donning Lakers' jerseys on Oxnard Blvd. today.
