Yo, Blackcatter...

I'm a basketball fan from 'round D.C. Do you know what that means? Yup, the longest streak of bad luck, bad decisions and bad bad since 1979 when the Bullets won the NBA championship. Since then there has been no team in the NBA that has had a longer stretch of badness. If there was any reason for a basketball fan to quit, Ive got it but...

... basketball is basketball. It's an exciting game and I enjoy watching it. I also enjoyed playing it which I was still doing at age 37 when I blew out my right knee one night in a South Richmond pick-up game.

But to basketball fans (not blind partisans) good basketball is good basketball. The fact that the Detroit team was being written off before the series and they came to play the Goliath's of basketball is an American story in itself... No, it ain't about "losers" but "winners", and team play, and determination. I don't consider the Lakers losers. Heck, they were in the finals, weren't they? Losers aren't in the finals....

Yeah, I'm glad that LA didn't win because I like to see different teams have success...

Basketball ain't Iraq, it's basketball... "True" fans appreciate it.
