My Spurs are once again NBA champs. I'm gleeful.
Now, thank god that's over. The ugliest finals I've ever seen. Set basketball back a hundred years. And I don't have to worry about how the Spurs are gonna blow the next game anymore
. And frankly, I'm just sick of the playoffs; I think they started about two and a half months ago.
Two stat lines of note:
1. Tim Duncan, 21 pts, 20 rbds, 10 assts, 8 blocks: holy freaking crap! I sometimes get on Tim for turning the ball over too much and not always being able to overcome poor free-throw shooting, but I'm just gonna shut up with all that now. Damn near a quadruple-double in an NBA finals game? Has anyone ever had one? And he also set the record for total blocks in a finals with 32 or 33 (the previous record was 30 in seven games; Tim got his in six).
2. David Robinson, 13 pts, 17 boards: Nice way to go out, with a huge game (at this stage of his career). How many guys get to retire on a performance like that? I'll miss you, 50. The league just lost a lot of class.

in other news: CRIBBAGE. yaar. I want to start a cribbage club, a mean one, like an outlaw biker gang, with satin jackets and everything.
that, and i'm kind of a nets fan. not really like OH MY GOD I LOVE THE NEW JERSEY BASKETBALL NETS or anything, but i always liked watching them play, thankfully i was out of town last year when they got smoked like some low-quality lunchmeat in the finals, so i didn't have to watch THAT.
and yeah, duncan is a fucking powerhouse. all due respect.
so can we talk about boobs now, or something? or how fun it is to talk like a pirate, or eat whipped cream straight from the can? i feel kind of dirty discussing sports here.
