Christmas Day was bad enough...the collapse at 2:51 in the fourth to the Shaggy Spaniard was dismaying...but then to completely lay a giant flaming turd in Oakland before the lowly crackhead Warriors...Aaargh...
Our guys played REALLY poorly. Nothing more profound than that. They pistolwhipped Sacabama like a YBA team two nights ago, 108-63, but it's not enough, especially with LBJ and the Cavs breathing down their necks in the East. Tonight they need to show they can beat Portland. The Jailblazers are a GOOD young team, a team of destiny, the Western Conference version of the Atlanta Hawks. Boston needs to step up and dispatch them ON THE ROAD...
Frankly, it's not the Lakers who concern me. Boston handles them in a seven game series, IF they're even in the Finals...It's getting past the Cavs and a lesser extent Orlando that worries me most. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Cleveland-Houston Finals this year...maybe Celtics-Houston...
Tipoff at 7pm tonight in Portland...
