So instead of watching the most anticipated game of the year, I was watching a high school musical. Strangely enough, there were a lot of parallels between the game and the musical. <BR/><BR/>1. They both took place is gyms.<BR/>2. I had floor seats (NBA or HS, that's how I roll)<BR/>3. The crowd in that HS barn was a raucous as the fans in Oakland last night. <BR/>4. The star of the play and the star of the Mavs were both having horrible evenings.<BR/>5. The supporting cast of the play and the supporting cast of the Mavs were not talented enough to fend off the tide of that counter clockwise swirling feeling.<BR/>6. Just like that lone Mavs fan in the #41 jersey, I wanted my money back. Also, half way through the event, I wanted to shoot myself.<BR/><BR/>Bummed to miss the game, but fortunately, I have at least 4 more opportunities to watch everyone's new favorite team.Branden Higahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02171600144908828053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11450263.post-71549900182838047442007-05-04T14:14:00.000-05:002007-05-04T14:14:00.000-05:00I agree about Baron and the feeling of being cheat...I agree about Baron and the feeling of being cheated. That series so long ago when he dominated Orlando and the series in 2003 when he nearly beat Philly despite hardly being able to walk ... those were just amazing performances. It also seems like the combination of Nellie and the natrual maturation process that comes with getting older have made Baron more effective as well. I don't doubt that injuries are the biggest factor in derailing his career, but even when healthy, he didn't seem to have this fantastic feel for winning and lifting his team. I'm just glad this season and this series happened, because now we saw it all come together, even if just for a moment. <BR/><BR/>I think Baron's hammy is the story of the playoffs right now. With the right matchups, they could possibly run the table (although it is obviously unlikely). In fact, I had a Baron injury as #6 on a list of those that would send the biggest shockwaves through the playoffs. He needs to get a hold of T.O. right away and get access to that hyperbaric chamber. Baron's hamstring could become the "Schilling's Ankle" of this postseason.Adam Hoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575786328320517798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11450263.post-9559832245842704502007-05-04T12:53:00.000-05:002007-05-04T12:53:00.000-05:00Baron was amazing last night.

Of course, if that injury is significant at all, GS can celebrate their win by getting swept in the next round. <BR/><BR/>Seeing him play like this just makes me feel even more cheated at how much he has been watching games with injuries.<BR/><BR/>Good stuff as always.Josh Stumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10172632315739605607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11450263.post-41512060791460875632007-05-04T07:32:00.000-05:002007-05-04T07:32:00.000-05:00very interesting blogvery interesting blogCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04149840645128446264noreply@blogger.com
