I love the fact that Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks get the last laugh. I love the fact that LeBron James and company are eating crow for a post game dinner. I love the fact that when LeBron vowed to take his talents to South Beach it wasn’t enough. I love the fact that every jilted Cleveland Cavaliers fan is reveling in the moment. I love the fact that the scoreboard read: Mavericks 105, Egomaniacal Spoiled Brats 95. I love everything about this. Because maybe someone will learn that just putting together the best guys on paper , can’t beat a team that plays unselfishly  and with heart. THIS is why I love sports. Your turn. Tell me what you think!

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!

Laker’s it is. Bring ‘em on. Give ‘em a taste of the Birdman and Billups (sounds like a sitcom doesn’t it?). Let Melo make mincemeat of ‘em I say. Just get it going already.
No matter how much you are enjoying this Nuggets run I think everyone would agree with me that it takes too long to get to this point. An 8 month season followed by 4 months of playoffs. Or so it seems.
It should be a fun one. And, really I can’t complain. It gives me something other then the Rockies to draw about.

Friends
I spent some time over the weekend with some dear friends I have not seen in awhile. My neighbors before we moved were the greatest people in the world. Larry and Linda Kapke’s daughter, Laura, graduates next weekend and they had a party for her. Rick and Susie O’ Keefe, the folks who lived right next door me at the time, hosted the party. Tim and Catherine Kubik were there as well. These people are some of the dearest most loving people on the planet. It was great to see them again. If you haven’t seen or heard from an old friend, call them. Or better yet, go see them and give them a hug. It will do you both some good.
