Be honest, it DID kind of look like the Celtics sleep-walked through the first half of game 1, didn't it? But after an incredibly intense series, I have to take back some of my rage after that loss. I underestimated the B*lls (hint: It's not Bills, Bells, Balls, Bolls, or Bylls) and am quite happy to just get out of the series alive. Thoughts:
1) Incredible. Really, really incredible. Whoever doesn't watch the NBA missed out big. On the whole it's not as compelling as college, it's true, but watch THIS series and then tell me it's boring.
2) The B*lls played great. I hate them, but that's the truth. Gordon, Rose, Salmons. Those cats brought it.
3) No new news, but I love Paul Pierce. Did anybody else hear his interview after he single-handedly lifted his team to victory in Game 5? The reporter asked something about how they find the energy to keep going with all the overtimes and all. Paul smiled (doesn't happen often!) and said something to the effect of "Oh man, this is fun! We'll play seven overtimes if we need to." Pro athletes are asked stupid questions all the time, and they NEVER get it right. Paul got it right. Nice. It's a job for them, I get it, but it's supposed to be fun. Thanks Paul, for restoring just a little bit of faith in pro sports/athletes.
4) So the Magic are next. We'll see, but without KG, it's going to be rough. And if they can pull it off, the Cavs are almost for sure just too tough. Still, better than going out to the B*lls.

If you can't stand church, come here!
If you like church, you have about a thousand in Louisville to chose from and you're already going to one of them. So -- much like a restaurant for anorexics or a clothing store for nudists -- we created Life Pointe Church, a church for people who really don't like church. We want you to come, and you're going to have a great time once you do. Sunday mornings, 10:15, at the Showcase Cinema DeLux 20 Stonybrook (yes, that's the movie theater on Hurstbourne near Taylorsville). I know you're confused, but just come on in the front doors and the pieces will begin to come together for you. Full nursery and children's ministries too, so bring the whole family!
And After Church (or most any other time)

Agreed. One losing to eight is bad. Definitely the best first-round series of NBA playoff history.
It was 2-7 (Cavs are the 1 seed), but still that's going out like a chump, not like the defending champs and all-time greatest franchise in NBA history!!!
