Final Dress Rehearsal

    Thunder 106 Lakers 90 to take the series 4-1.
    Thunder vs. Spurs for Western supremacy doesn’t start until Sunday in San Antonio. But for those of us in L.A., we’ll read and hear about the speculation of who goes and who stays with the Lakers. Always the kings and queens of drama here whether they win it all or not.
    But on this night, it was all about the Thunder. Even Metta said as much.
    Cheers!

There Goes That Man Again

      She’s not with him because he has money is she? Didn’t think so.
      You’ve probably seen Jimmy Goldstein courtside at NBA games throughout the season. And you’ll probably see him again tonight during Game 4 of the Thunder-Lakers. What’s his secret? Glad you asked.

Hit Your Free Throws

    The Lakers (or is it the Thunder?) are making us look like geniuses.

Oops Upside Your Head

    It was enought to give D-Wade and his sometimes clueless coach a headache.
    We keep saying how we believe many fans are sleeping on the Spurs, but maybe we’re missing the boat with the Pacers. They haven’t done anything yet, but their 94-75 rout of the Heat tonight definitely caught our attention.
    How about this: They eliminate the Heat in this series and then the Heat fire Erik Spoelstra. Brian Shaw, who just happens to be an assistant coach with the Pacers after the Lakers foolishly kicked him out for Mike Brown, takes over next season and leads Miami to the promise land.

Down Goes Lakers

    Series changer? We think so. There is no way the Thunder doesn’t come out of L.A. without at least a split. If they win Friday, oh doctor.

Thunder 119, Lakers 90

    We swear the refs did all they could to keep this below 50.
    Game 2 is Wednesday in OKC.

Peace Of Work

    I took this on the train Friday. Figured I’d need it at some point.
    Metta World Peace will receive a hostile reception in OKC on Monday night. He knows it. Hell, everyone knows it. But don’t expect the Laker forward to show any love or remorse for what he did to James Harden. If anything, Peace’s feelings after serving a 7-game suspension have hardened (no pun intended).

Just Saying

    This gem from the Twitter account of Laker fan Gary Collard: “If the Lakers lose tonight and the Clippers win tomorrow, does David Stern lock up Executive of the Year?”

‘Elgin Was A God Around Here’

    It’s a good piece on Elgin Baylor, mostly about the former Laker great and how he put D.C. on the hoops map, and Wilt meeting on the playground, but the “Kappa Alpha Si” mars it. A good copy editor like me would have caught that, he said humbly.
