Man oh man, what a collapse. A twenty point lead diminished with just over 6 minutes of basketball. Did anyone see what I saw? Deja' vu. The San Antonio Spurs played the part of my departed Phoenix Suns to the t tonight. It was as if Coach D'Antoni was calling the plays from the sidelines. Wait...he doens't call plays.
Anyway, the Lakers prevailed thank to Kobe "Twice as Good as Anyone Else" Bryant's late game heroics. Except for Kobe, it's no longer heroic when he replicates the feat night after night. I swear he reminds me more and more of me.
Speaking of Coach Mike D'Antoni, the basketball gods were obviously frowning upon him the past couple days. Sure he got a lucrative deal with the New York Knicks. Which is equivalent to having a hot wife but playing on the Atlanta Falcons. He shuns Jerry Reinsdorf and the Chicago Bulls to take the offer in New York.
A few days later, with a 1% chance of obtaining the #1 pick in the draft, the Chicago Bulls snatched it. Now they get the dilemma to choose between local great Derrick Rose or future great Michael Beasley. Suddenly, everyone including Red Auerbach wants the job. Can anyone else hear Justin Timberlake's track in the background? "What Goes Around, goes around,..."
The LA - San Antonio series is going to be an instant classic. San Antonio played skiddish and embarrased themselves in Game 1. Don't expect a duplicate performance in Game 2.
