The Renewal

I got some random thoughts from watching game 1. I'm happy to see a rejuvenation to the winter sports world championships. The Pens-Wings should get the public consciousness back thinking about Hockey. Also, Pops made a great point. It sucks that the ‘Guins lost last night. But at least now we can focus solely on the NBA finals. I wanna see this one come back east next weekend. I got C’s in 7…

• Man, the C’s cheerleaders are ugly.
• I can’t look at Dick Bavetta and not think of him kissing Charles Barkley after their race. And that in every way is depressing…
• Where did all that early production by Cassell come from? He’s looking like an asset tonight…
• Did Turiaf get hair care tips from the Predator?
• Does anyone have worse facial hair than Paul Pierce?
• How would losing game 1 affect Kobe Bean? Will he say hey we need to gel a little more as a team earlier? Or will he say fuck it, I gotta do it for us to have any chance to win?
• God Sam Cassell looks like Gollum. Can we get him thin, wispy hair too?
• Man I can’t stand Will Ferrell.
• Wait – IDK what’s more surprising/traumatic. Miami actually considering a trade of Dwyane Wade and the number two for the number one pick? Or that I heard D-Wade is dating Star Jones. That bitch looks worse post-stomach stapling than she did before it. [Do you remember Tracy Morgan playing her on SNL spoofs of the View back in the day? I was talking to Barnes the other day about how they need to release and SNL Best Of Tracy Morgan DVD.]
• Was Pierce faking the knee injury to get his Willis Reed moment to energize his teammates and the crowd?
• Man, rebounding really looks like it can be a BIG difference in this series.
• Should Paul Pierce be jumping around in celebration with a balky knee?
• KG with 8 straight misses in the 2nd half? Color me surprised….
• Why is Cassell jacking up jumpers? He should be on the bench, allowing House to play. Goddamnit what a liability tonight...
• I like them showing Pierce on the workout bike and all the fans around him. I mean around him. It looked like they had to be pushed away from that bike. Boston is nuts for this one tonight…
  How about KG saving that near backcourt violation? He had enough presence of mind to flip it high and let his boys set up beneath it…nice play.
• How about Jesus Shuttlesworth hustling after those long rebounds? Somebody wants to win…
• The Great Khali is in Get Smart? And working with the fat producer from Borat? Man I hope there’s no nude fight scene in this one…
• For realsies, the Lakers can’t make a shot OR get a rebound. WTF?
• Game’s best closer huh? Only 4 points with 1 minute to play—for shame sir…
• But seriously, do you think Red Auerbach was sitting atop the Lakers hoop in the 4th quarter just swatting away shots and bounces?
