(Took the tour of Texas Stadium yesterday – it was really weird.
Once you get to the field, it’s like recess – they literally let you run around and do whatever you want for a half hour, then blow a whistle and shuffle you out.
Everyone was throwing passes, tackling each other, kicking field goals, making sweet love to the star at the 50-yard line, etc. One dude like had worn a helmet and everything.)
Yikes – the NBA starts tonight, and I haven’t even had time to decide if I’m into it or not.
You longtime followers know this used to be my absolute, #1 favorite day of the year. Not so much anymore, but I’m not so much negative on the league as I was last season.
Things I’m taking note of, as of today…in no particular order:
1) Knicks – I’m guessing Game #14 is the one Isiah shows up at. They would never invite him, but he can afford to buy some tickets, can’t he?
2) Bobcats – I’m guessing Game #14 is the one Larry Brown asks for trades at. They would never invite Isiah, but he can afford to buy some car washes, can’t he?
3) Cavaliers – I’m guessing Game #14 is the one LeBron upsets me at. They would never celebrate Isiah, but he can afford to eat some eyeglasses, can’t he?
4) Mavericks – I’m guessing Game #14 is the one Jason Kidds breaks down at. They would never show a movie to Isiah, but he can afford to subscribe to library baseball cards, can’t he?
5) Greg Oden – I’m guessing Game #14 is the one he likes the most. They would never swim in the pool, but fish can afford to lie in the grass and then go to the restaurant, can’t they?
6) League Pass – I’m guessing Game #2 is the one I realize it won’t work on a Mac at.
I’d also say I’m moderately interested to note how quickly the Nuggets completely implode. It’s gonna happen, isn’t it?
The OKC Thunder will be horrible (as deserved for eternity), but unless Clay Bennett is out there a-gettin’ pegged with balls at halftime, there’s no reason to pay attention.
I have zero interest in the Celtics, nor the Lakers. They’re both gonna be fine, and probably there in the end. The BOS personalities are stable, as are the LA ones, save Lamar Odom.
Depressed doesn’t equal interesting, though. If he were angst-ridden, we might see some good stuff.
