Even Dwyane and Shaq
Knocked the fuck back.
Which leaves us with
The NBA Finals:
vs. 
ABC probably already has a hit out on the refs who let this small-market disaster happen. That's okay though, while they're gonna get beat in the ratings every night by Hell's Kitchen, we'll still be watching.
I love this match-up. Here's how I see it:
- Billups dominates Tony Parker. He backs him down or shoots over him on Offense, and on D simply pushes him towards that killer Detroit help. Advantage: D
- Tay Prince will give Manu fits. He's long and fast and a ball-hawk. I think they neutralize each other. No Advantage
- Duncan gets his, but Big Ben (and McDyess and Grandpa Campbell) makes him work for it. Advantage: SA
- Bowen makes Rip Hamilton his bitch just like he did to Jesus Shuttlesworth. Advantage: SA
- Rasheed is quietly becoming a champion. Well quietly on the court, off-court, not so much. What's he on 6 gurantees in a row now? He continues to do it when it counts against Nazr. Advantage: D
- Bench: Spurs have Big Shot Bob Horry, under-performing of late perennial Doc.Rob favorite Brent Barry, and the ghost of Rasho Nesterovic. Pistons run McDyess, no-show Arroyo, and Campbell at you. D's got fouls. Spurs got Bob. No Advatage
- Coaches: This should be a push. Pop and Brown are two of the best in the business, but Brown is getting squirrelly again with this Cleveland jive. Gotta go with Poppa Zit here. Advantage: SA
- Verdict: I'm not backing down now. SA in 7. Should be fun.
When and if the King of Pop ends up noseless and buggered, rotting away in San Quentin, I am now OK with that. We've found a replacement.
I don't want to blow up anybody's spot (especially my own,) but if you're in NYC, I highly suggest you head up to Yankee Stadium tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6:30 for the High School Baseball City Championship game. 3d base side of the House that Ruth Built is gonna be poppin' off something fierce with drums, percussion, fly Dominican young ladies, and some heated Reggaeton chants.
RIP Victor.
iYeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah!
