> Is Dwight Howard out his f**king mind?
> Good to see Timmy Fundamentals emerge from his coma last night. An inspired performance. Now, two questions:
1. Can Pop get enough consistent performance from old-ass TD, too-young George Hill, not-quite-100% Parker and can’t-quite-breath-right Ginobilli, to beat the Suns? The way Grant Hill and J-Rich have been playing, I think no.
2a. Just how devastated is Dirk? Might he really opt out of his contract this summer? Let’s say yes. That begs another question: Do you want him for your team? The guy has been the best player on a loaded team that’s managed to get come up short for, what, ten years? At what point does a guy start to get the stink of poison on him?
2b. In defense of Dirk, I have to call out Rick Carlisle. When Beaubois is streaking for 16+ points, why on earth do you sit him to get ice-cold Jason Terry back on the floor? Some nights a player just doesn’t have it, coach. Always go with the hot hand. That’s textbook shit, Rick.
> I’m making this deal right now with God: If somehow, some way, the Erz should draw the #1 pick, Flash should decide to sign with us, and Jeff Van Gundy should come out of retirement to coach us, I will TOTALLY start believing in you again. I’ll even go back to church on Sundays and shit.
> Now, since there is no God, a question for the real world: How many titles do Bulls win if Flash goes to Chicago this summer? Another one: Will Avery be fired as Erz head coach after one season or two? or three?
> The Lakers probably close it out tonight. But what if OKC wins? Do you bet against them in a Game 7? Either way, what kind of shot does the winner of this series have against the red-hot Jazz? Speaking of…
> Is George Karl really a much better coach than I ever thought? How did Denver fall apart like this?
FINALS PREDICTION:
Cavs / Suns
And honestly? I’m not sure who wins that series.
