The Big Ticket
Caught the final game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Sacramento Kings last night (while doggysitting), and what a performance Kevin Garnett turned in! I can’t even understand the flak he took for not going nuts on Anthony Peeler in game 6. Getting tossed out for fighting Peeler would have been so retarded it boggles the mind. I think he did a pretty good job of just recovering from a direct elbow thrown to the face. But after watching him go for 32 points (on better than 50% shooting!), 21 rebounds, 4 steals, and 5 blocks while coming up huge in the 4th quarter, it’s clear he made the right decision. KG is simply a monster. Also, every time I see Sam Cassell, I can’t help thinking about what a funny head he has =).
As for Nets and Pistons, I don’t like the Nets’ chances this year. I’ve watched most of this series, and NJ has looked pretty bad in the competitive games. Jason Kidd looks like he’s running on fumes, and even in that triple OT win, I was dying watching them miss free throws and turn the ball over time and time again. I just get the feeling that unless Detroit does something wrong and lets the Nets run and gun all over the place, it’s going to be Indiana vs. Detroit in the Eastern Conference Finals. I think the Lakers vs. Timberwolves series will be pretty good, but my final prediction is Lakers vs. Pistons, with LA easily taking the championship.
The collies I was taking care of didn’t seem too interested in the basketball game. One just wanted to snuggle at my feet, and the other fell asleep on the floor and had to be poked to wake up. I know you’re dogs, but c’mon this is game 7!!!!
