NBA Playoffs
this is probably just for me and jonah. or maybe just me. or no-one, when and if my heat are eliminated and i stop watching the playoffs. like a child.
anyway, until then, this:
i thought memphis would get to the WCF. and then the clippers, who i thought were more sizzle than steak, built a 3 -- 1 lead. but the griz are back back back. game six ought to be a war. if griz somehow get out of this round, i like their chances against the spurs, who i think are playing over their heads (an awesome dynasty a few years ago, but i just can't see a championship team built largely around tony parker, while duncan -- while still v good -- is aging). if the griz were to get by the spurs . . . well, i'd say that's the end-of-the-road for them.
anyway, THE NBA PLAYOFFS.

Anyways, back to basketball. Yeah, Memphis was fun to watch in the postseason last year, too. And who would've thought, a few years ago, that it would be Mike Conley leading a team to postseason success and not Ohio St. teammate (and number one overall draft pick) Greg Oden? Hell, Conley was considered an afterthought in that draft.

hey, charles barkley says the heat lose to the pacers in round-two, and i'm still gonna talk -- i.e., whine -- about it.
Yay, I'm not the only one! I don't know what it is but I've never been able to have any real interest in sports.
Well, the precise diagnosis isn't as important as recognizing that there is something very very wrong with you. The sooner you can admit this, the sooner you'll be on the path to becoming a self-aware, misguided person with a big problem.
Probably has something to do with where I live though. Buffalo and S.U. Are the closest big franchises; they're not known for enriching anybody's life. But still that doesn't stop anybody else here from not having my problem.

an outlet for aggression otherwise directed at emusic message-board contributors.
But the TNT Overtime thing is a thing of beauty. No commercials. One angle to watch the game that doesn't get sliced and diced into a corporate misrepresentation of bball. If you do love the intuitive, competitive nature of the game, it's perfect.
well, i still frantically shout swear words at strangers, but otherwise, yeah.
pacers guarding each other more than they're guarding bron bron, imo.
and i don't even like the bulls! but c'mon, 76ers.
sorry, but i can't see that.
One for eleven tonight in a closeout game.
Yeah, I think they envisioned something a little different from Boozer when they picked him up. I don't think he ever was going to be a number two option. But Rip Hamilton never did shit for us this year, and Deng never has become a consistent offensive threat (tho I love the guy on the team), so they had to rely on Boozer more than they'd like. Besides, he sucks on D, so they had to use him somehow. I think they would trade him in a heartbeat at this point.
Also, NUGGETS ! Stage is set for the return of the most absurdly-named NBA player ever in the deciding Game Seven.
