We have the champs and Facebook is killing me

It is not my intention to recap the last night's game or do any analysis about it. I got already about 100 feeds with recaps, so there's nothing new I can add. Asides from my disappointment, that Magic didn't try to fight it over, making the series longer, or at least providing some reasonable entertainment in the game 5. They had a good first quarter, but didn't manage to build a huge lead in the first half, as their standard third quarter collapse came into second quarter. Lakers collected well deserved NBA trophy, Kobe collected a comment or two, that he cannot win the 'ship without Adam Morrison. Same old, same old.

As the Twitter will be silent during the evenings now, I decided to come back and have a look on Facebook, from which I almost completely separated around March Madness. Main reason for separation was the depth of analysis in 'Trade Bosh' & 'Raptors need to get tougher' topics, which I just couldn't face anymore. I didn't want to get to deep on my first go, so I just innocently set up a status as 'Lakers are the NBA Champions' to give a hint to my 'friends' that I've been watching ball lately and I am hmm... open for discussions. After 5 minutes I got a comment: 'shaq to the cavs'. So I politely asked about any further info - like who would you trade him for, how does it work for both teams, etc. The 'Facebook-deep-analysis' came after about an hour: 'pav and big ben! I think it would take some depth away, but that would turn them into a whole new kinda monster.. similar to the lakers "kobe / oneal campaign". It works out financially for the suns and thats about it... i dont see ben or pav fitting into the run and gun offence immediately. Lastly nah lol'. I kept the original grammar. And no, I am not coming back to Facebook. I'll read the archives of my favorite blogs in the off-season. Or take a bartending course. Or something.

No more cheating. A tribute to the Denver Nuggets

As I said in the previous post I'm a notorious cheater. I promised myself to do something useful during the few-days-break from the playoffs. List was long and included: working on my website, cleaning the house, emailing all these people... and all I do is: visit a hairdresser, book a cosmetician, ramble about my diet, ramble about Ben Gordon (again!).
On the other hand I bet that whatever was supposed to be said about the Conference Finals, (expected) Nuggets exit and (unexpected) Cavaliers exit was already said.
I actually like Lakers and during the regular season they appeared the best team to me and I believed they do deserve the championship. But during the playoffs something malicious woke up in me. It started with a disappointment that the Raptors didn't even make it to the first round. It got deeper with another disappointment that the Spurs didn't make it to the second round. It changed into fury over the LeBron vs Kobe hype. I just didn't want any of them to get the 'ship'. Any!
Then came the Houston team with so many injuries and huge huge heart. And Lakers got lazy. They didn't look like champions anymore. They finally won to the Rockets but it didn't look as good as it was supposed to do.
Next team for Lakers to face was Denver. Which raised a question: does anybody outside Denver actually cheer this team?
Can anybody like this guy?



or that?



Twitter had the answer. Of course we're gonna cheer these guys. The 'JR being JR' and the 'My IQ is as big as my jersey number' Kenyon. Thanks to @courtside who taught us all about greatness of JR Smith and to @jose3030 for documenting it (the gif of Dino-JR).
As much as Nuggets disappointed us with losing this series, they definitely provided loads of fun. Chauncey Billups with inbounding the ball of Kobe's back was the funniest moment in this playoffs so far.
It was fun cheering for the Nuggets. And yes, I am a freak. So when you meet somebody wearing sun-glasses in the middle of the night, it will probably be me.
