Although it violates the bylaws and codicils of the Blob, I've chosen to suspend all of that for a second to comment on the NBA playoffs.
(Which are going on now, by the way, and will continue until either Kobe Bryant qualifies for AARP benefits, or the polar ice caps melt, whichever comes first).
Anyway ...
Caught part of Game 1between Boston and Cleveland last night, and once again, I failed to be awed by the NBA game. The final was 76-72 and, although NBA fans will spin that as the consequence of great defense, I beg to differ. It was just really, really lousy offense.
Frankly I've seen kids in Biddy Basketball miss fewer open layups than LeBron did. If this is playoff hoops in the NBA, you can have it.
