so lakers/ twolves tonight
my wife says "whats up with kevin garnett's beard?........he looks like some kind of polygamist
or an amish guy or something"
well that made me laugh (he does have a pretty trippy beard right now)
but even though the twolves are our western conference rival
kevin garnett is a very loveable man and i admire him greatly
he has kept his chin up to the sky and played with intensity and passion
despite only once(i think) ever making it pass the first round of the playoffs
and having to deal with that weird season last year after sprewell and cassell dissapeared
and having terrible luck with that whole joe smith imbroglio
and worst of all losing the beautiful man malik sealy.....
kevin garnett is great and has a great vibe he is smart and funny
i love him
so anyways, the lakers smoked the ne'er dowells from minny like a cheap cigar tonight
twolves made a run at 'em near the end but to no avail
the lakers continue to play like a team
they are deep deep deep
andrew bynum, as i have said many times, will go on to become the dominant center in the nba
when it happens, go back and look at my blogs from last year
and know, the the little flea was right.....the nutty little flea.........psychic!
and tonight, 20 14 and 4 blocks
the kid is great
as long the lakers can continue to play team ball and keep that triangle moving
there is nothing to stop them
nothing i say!
if kobe can keep the whole team involved
and the whole team can stay involved and never fall into the trap of waiting for kobe to take
care of things....
NOTHING!!!!!
andrew bynum is owning the paint
he is changing the shot of every fool who dare penetrate the lane, whether he blocks it or not
thanks god for phil jackson
earlier tonight turned on the heat/sonics it was the end of the 3rd and the heat were up by 3
i always want the heat to lose and they are my most scorned enemy
but it is hard for me to really muster up a good hatred when shaq is not playing
i mean, james posey, alonzo, and d wade have all done things to get my dander up over the
years
but my shaq bitterness takes precedence over all that
i was a very upset when the lakers did not get their due in return for shaq when they traded
him
because he refused to be traded to any other team other than those with a warm climate
i know that he was angry because the lakers chose kobe over him for their future
but is was, in my opinion the wise choice for the lakers to make......(unlike their foolish choice
of letting of phil jackson go)
it came down to the lakers brass having to choose between the 2 of them when he and kobe's
ridiculous feud finally spiraled out of control
and, to the pedestrian fan like myself, it seemed like shak treated kobe poorly from the start
and it was a long time before kobe came out and started firing verbal abuse back
so anyways, kobe is young and the best player in the nba, it was a wise choice
the lakers paid shaquille O'Neal a lot of money, i felt like he should have been more of a
gentleman on the way out
the lakers ended up getting saddled with brian grant's monster salary
so right or not, based on the little i glean from newspapers and my own laker fandom, i am anti
shaq
taking into consideration of course, i view everything through purple and gold colored glasses
and act like a child when it comes to basketball
and in any event, that's why i always want the heat to lose
but damn it, they just won, they are always winning and bumming me out
