Work has been keeping me straight out busy lately, but I’ve still managed to watch a decent amount of the playoffs. It was funny the other night though to pass out from exhaustion around 11pm EST and have the Lakers down by 16 points or so and wake up the next morning to see that Kobe went off like a rocket and willed his team to the W. Kobe is Kobe so I suppose I shouldn’t have been that surprised, but anyone who can sniper a W from the fking Spurs is aces in my book. Tonight’s game should be interesting though. The Lakers must feel a little indestructable now… I know I would if I was laying in the sand dead and buried and still managed to vanguish the dragon.

Chauncey, Chauncey, Chauncey… You will haunt me in my dreams. Nightmares. Whatever. I knew the worm had turned last night when Billups went up for a 3-bomb and kicked Eddie House sqaure in the nuts on his way back down and then all cool and calm went to the line and buried 3 foul shots in a row. I’m not saying the Pistons have got this thing… because they don’t. These are two mirror image teams and the Pistons are just as capable of giving one away at home themselves. We’ll see.

In other news, congrats to the Big Ticket for his generous spirit…
