Slog - Comments on I Wish I Was A Little Bit Taller http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/04/i_wish_i_was_a_little_bit_taller There is strong coffee and fried rice on hand. At halftime of Game 1, the Wiz are miraculously only 7 points behind the Cavs. We're less than 90 minutes away from Game One of the Suns-Lakers series. Fuck Kobe and welcome to my beautiful Sunday. Last week I posted up with some thoughts on the NBA, the reasons being, like my stomach, purposeful and two-fold: indulge personal basketball obsession and hear what Slog ball fans have to say.

I have expressed my enthusiasm for this year's Playoffs (because of all the exciting drama-filled matchups) to a few people only to be met with blank stares. I am very happy you posted.

Rutherford Some of those crossovers are unbelievable. There is none of the chaos you see in college ball. I cannot stand the facade of the student athlete either.
Whenever I make a case for pro ball- I am met with scoffs about high overpaid players. Who gives a shit- it is dope to see King James drive the lane for a big tomahawk slamma-jamma!
Spitfire grill is a good place for all things sports (Fuel channel plays constantly on 1 tv), and they have lots of art there to look at you can use to ply those waffling at the prospect of attending.

I spoke too soon . . . I was bummed until I saw the Warriors take out the Mavs! Could there be any more drama than Don Nelson vs Cuban, Stephen Jackson vs Dirk Nowizki? I love it!
