This is when i really hate not having cable…. Between nba playoffs and baseball *sigh*
I hope the nets crush the Celtics so bill Simmons will upload a podcast of him crying the entire time lol
I'm not on here enough to really jump in with ya'll, and I know it's pretty much 100% Laker hate on here, but allow me to add to the Bill Simmons hate.
One of my favorite moments from the 2010 Lakers title was during that series, Bill Simmons had this ESPN live blog that he was doing. It was basically live tweeting during the game but on the ESPN mobile site at the time. He was prolific and was giving live commentary during each game of the finals. Given that he's a HUGE Celtics honk, he brought his dad to game 7 thinking they would win and celebrate. Celtics up 13 late in the game, Lakers look like absolute shit, and he's just going on and on about how great a moment this is for him and his dad, that they're going to see the Celtics win another ring and at Staples blah blah blah. Then as the Lakers slowly comeback, you can just read each single message and how heartbreaking each basket is to him. God, I drank those tears like they were the fountain of youth! It was glorious.
With that, I'm going to enjoy these playoffs without a team to root for and will just be able to relax without a dog in the fight and root for/against whoever. Really hoping Memphis makes a deep run. I saw Ja play 2 times this year in LA and a couple times last year also, dude is so much fucking fun to watch.
