Another Weekend...Some More Big Games...

So Friday has arrived and Game 3 is hours away. We'll see if the troops are ready and can use the momentum from Tuesday's win to steal a game or two in the Swamp. I wish just one person could document the transformation Bosh undergoes from his day time identity of Ronnie Devoe to the perenial All-Star we have come to know and love for game time...

They had to put his name at the bottom, just to throw people off. Now you know...

Apparently a hobbled Kidd is a game time decision, but someone should tell him that when guards do the Willis Reed-thing...it never works. Ask Isiah and he only did it for part of a game. I guess this will allow the media to be further distracted by the obvious flaws Kidd brings to the court, and conversely puts even more pressure on the other Nets to finish or score in general. And you wonder why Vince has been struggling with the pressure...the press with absolutely burry him if the Raps win this series (you know RJ will get that 'recent injury' pass too). Laugh if you wanna, but it really does suck to be VC...(sorry Cor).

Big crazy shout out to K up in Cali for finding a way to get a ticket to the best game of Lackers/Suns series last night without even relying on his own personal Ari (...hey, screenwriters is connects too). From what I have ascertained thus far; the Staples Center makes the ACC look really drab, they love them some Jack down there and Mexicans make for some pretty belligerent (some may say gansta) ball fans...I guess that gritty component of the fan base compensates for the lingering 'X-lister' stench around the arena. Too bad Kobe and friends will lose Game 4 - nobody said it'd be anything but an uphill battle out there...

Yeah he's got a strong back...but what's the name of that Game song...the one where he disses all the video gullz...oh yeah.

Speaking of Cali, I managed to catch Game 2 of the Golden State series and that team is an endearing group of nutty characters playing some incredibly frantic ball - check out Don Nelson on the sideline, and you'd swear he's been downing shots of Jack during the TV timeouts. And I thought Garbajosa looks like he just came off a bender...It'd be nice to see them pull off the upset, but regardless of what happens, at least you know their fans will have a sense of humour about it.

I guess now would be a good time to mention I have secured a ticket my own damn self for Game 5 out here: Lower Bowl too. It's just that I'll have to spend the rest of the weekend Jeezy-ing it up, slanging rocks and such to make that happen...should be a great game if I live to see it...

Time to purchase the 'Good luck' 40 and dust off that 'three day straight' gear...we'll see if Raps' beige out trumps Net beiges one more gain. A win tonight would go a long way towards a:(found at The painted Area; courtesy of some Ugly Bosh face and photoshop)
