Latrell is the poster child for NBA thuggery and I don't think there's much doubt that most fans get that. Glasses won't help. Stuffed animals won't help. Changing your name to Winston or Jeeves won't help. He was and is bad for the sport, and we should all be glad he's gone. Thank God for people like Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Steve Nash, good guys who play hard and don't have to choke people or shoot their girlfriends to prove their manhood.

I like TD a lot for this. He's a great player. He keeps quiet (off the field). He does a good job. He's not a glory hog. TD ain't no TO. He goes out and wins. He's not a trouble maker. Even though, I would have liked to have seen the Pistons go further in the playoffs, I'm glad to see San Antonio in the thick of things. I respect them a lot.

The main reason I like the Spurs has nothing to do with basketball. I like the guy who plays the music at the AT&T Center. :p He plays DT over the PA. He's actually a forum member at Mike Portnoy's site, and he polls the fans to see what DT song he should play at the game.

Well again Spurs in five, and is it not stupid to wait two days between games, when they are in the same city, no wonder the NBA is losing in the ratings, and Jabbar, Magic, Jordon, The Dream, The Iceman, Clyde the Glide, those where the great years of the NBA.

Halftime, game 2.

This is looking ugly. Horry is everywhere. Parker, Ginobli and Duncan have 43 points combined. The entire Cavs team only has 33 points.

And when I say "ugly", I actually mean I'm very happy to watch a route!

The announcers keep saying that the Cavs are a very different team at home, but are they COMPLETELY different?

The Spurs are schoolin' them guys.

Sweep? I don't know. Maybe. Probably.

The Spurs DO have to remember to play the entire 4th quarter, even when you're up by 29.

Cavs made that closer than it should have been.

Whew!

I've got one of my Spurs shirts on today. About half the population here in San Antonio are wearing some kind of Spurs stuff today.

I never cared for basketball until The Spurs got in the finals about 10 years ago. They taught me to love the game and I respect them for being a very clean team.

One of the few...

separated at birth!

Some of my fondest memories are of going to Milwaukee Bucks games with my father. I was fortunate to see Lew Alcindor, Oscar Robertson, Bobby Dandrige, Lucius Allen, etc. the World Champion Bucks.

People forget Lucius Allen and what a great player he was and how important he was to the Wooden dynasty at UCLA.

Thinking of those days makes me dislike the current NBA more and more... but I'm old-school like that.
