Gettin' Serious in L.A.
An across-the-hall rivalry
well there is a legitimate crosstown basketball rivalry in los angeles
now the only problem is they are only really cross a hallway to each
other's locker room
i've always liked the clippers despite their 'fish stinks from the
head' malaise that has kept them down for so long
now that they are playing like a real basketball team, they better not
go and get uppity on me
i've only liked them because they are from my beloved los angeles, and
they were never any threat to the lakers
and i am sure that they cannot stay good for too long because donald
sterling will certainly do something to ruin a good thing before too
long but in the meanwhile, i have erased any lingering affection for them and this is war
yes, elton brand is an A number one basketball player and good guy and
yes, shaun livingston has shown signs of greatness
i don't know about chris caveman and cassell really
bummed me out with his whining on the twolves last year, not to mention
he complained about coming to the clippers until the last second
i really liked bobby simmons who they had last year
but, in any event, my blood runs purple and gold and,
though its a painful time to be a true laker fan
i know the lakers need to get worse right now before they get better,
and they will give the clips their sound whupping shortly
their 'come uppance' if you will
and to all the benedict arnold laker fans who jump ship to the clipper
ship, good riddance
i hope kwame brown is taking great care of himself
i hope he doesn't drink alcohol at night
when he should be meditating
clearing his mind
preparing for geatness
kobe would never cop to it, but i think it hurts his feelings when they
boo him in philly so relentlessly
how about the wee-zards scoring 137 points the other night?
remarkable
there are those who say they are very happy to be rid of kwame brown
even though the pistons have caused me great grief in my life, i am
happy for them to be doing so well
and i am happy for flip saunders, unceremoniously dumped by minny last
year....like it was his fault that cassell and sprewell nutted up,
they all seem like good people to me, the pistons
here's a good question...
what in sam hill is happening with sprewell?
will no one pay him what he wants, so he won't play at all?
another season sat out in the career of a high level nba basketball
player like sprewell?
what a wild career his is
the lakers will win the championship this year
even if they don't make the playoffs, i will celebrate their winning of
the championship
just to stay in celebration shape
