Ouch! That’s gotta hurt. Even Jack Nicholson had to wince in pain watching the Lakers being swept by the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. Mark Cuban gets the last laugh. It was ugly. Two Lakers were ejected but they secretly hoped they’d throw the whole team out. Phil Jackson has picked a sour note to end his career on. I actually thought though, it was in the NBA TV contract that it had to be Lakers vs. Celtics playing for the title every year until eternity. what did you think of the weekend in sports. Crazy? Wild? What’s that? You spent the weekend in the yard grilling and chilling. Good for you. Me too.

I don’t know how you feel but…
The NBA season drones on far too long. It’s the only sport for me that makes me feel like I’m working when I watch it. Other sports don’t do that. Even World Cup soccer which I’m actually enjoying, doesn’t make me as crabby as having to watch an average NBA game. Now, last night wasn’t your average NBA game. It was game 7 of the NBA finals. Both teams actually played defense which NEVER happens in the NBA. And if you exclude the time it looked more like a Rugby scrum it was actually entertaining. But, still. I’m soooo glad it’s over. How about you? Glad to see it go or want 7 more games?
Got a cartoon over on ESPN by 9 or 10 EST. I’ll let you know when it posts. Have a great weekend!

I grew up on the Lakers-Celtics era with Chamberlain vs. Russell. And then West vs Havlicek. And then, of course Bird vs. Magic. Forgive me if it just doesn’t feel the same. How about you? Are you into this upcoming series? Or are you more likely to turn on the NFL channel and dream of September? Or wish that Ubaldo could pitch every night?
