You Talkin' to Me???

I am treating the thing that you all would expect me to type about like a no-hitter. That's the only mention that you are going to het, remember the superstitions rule invoked early on this space.

Lebron is well on his way to scoring fifty points in back to back games. Two buzzer beating threes in the first half tonight. Good times. The game last night taught Spike Lee a lesson that has already been learned: Don't talk shit to Lebron James. It ends up badly for your team. A fan talking shit to James is like a girlfriend picking a fight with a guy that weighs fifty pounds more than her boyfriend. If you are playing Cleveland there should be pamphlets that are handed to the audience like the signs you see out side of tiger cages at the zoo then again we learned that people don't always read those either.

Celtics vs. Pistons didn't matter much. That is a seven game series that could be great, but Lebron could derail either one of these teams. Cleveland will only continue to get better. Boston will only continue to get better. The only way that Detroit ends up in the Finals is if Rasheed Wallace becomes a sane and motivated individual, well maybe just motivated. Wallace will not because the one person that kept hom motivated plays in Cleveland now.

I am really hoping that Dallas is the team to slip out of the playoffs in the West. How great would that be? I actually had a Mavs fan talk shit to me today. Check the standings lately Ponies fans? Seen your team play with the best point guard alive with two flat tires? Are you watching these games? Of course not, you only love your little Ponies not pay attention to the fact that you should be writing Dear John letter to Devin Harris and hel out to take Sam Cassell from the Celtics. The Ponies with P.J. Brown and Sam Cassell instead of Boston would have scared me more than the Ponies with Kidd. The Euro on Euro violence the other night was pretty bad too. Dirk's extra work to bring AK down at the end was why it was changed to a 2. Don't try to say that Dirk is showing toughness, he took a cheap shot on a guy that doesn't weigh anything. As Chuck said, he need to eat some happy meals. It is realistic to think that the Mavs could be the bubble team if they keep having trouble figuring out how to play with Kidd. You have to win 2 out of 3 games the rest of the way if you are in the West to have chance to make it in to the playoffs. Playing .500 ball from here on out will not get out in to the show this year.

Did you think that Denver would not be in the playoffs even if Melo and A.I. were the league's top scoring tandem? I would not have made that prediction. The Nuggets just look completely lost sometimes.

More to come. The Captain signing off for now...
