Random Thoughts

I have been pretty busy with school the past couple of weeks and hadn’t have time to write about some sports issues.

1. I absolutely hate the Mavs. I went to the Mavs game Wednesday night (4/14) half expecting the Spurs to play their starters, but they rested Duncan and Ginobili. I was fine with it. I mean I would have rested them too. However, the Mavs played ALL of their starters, the entire game! I guess there is a maximum IQ that a Mavs fan can have because they didn’t realize that they were beating our backups. Barely. The Mavs ended up winning by 6, but they were cheering like it was a legitimate playoff win. Give me a break. Running tally for me seeing Mavs/Spurs games in Dallas. 0 wins for the Spurs 4 wins for the Mavs. FML!

2. Game 1 started off great. The Spurs jumped out to an early lead, but couldn’t maintain. Duncan missed close shots, Jefferson had an off game, and George Hill started, played 18 minutes but had zero points. Not the stellar effort I would have hoped for in Game 1 of the playoffs. My thoughts most of the game were “How do you start George Hill over Tony Parker?” That changed last night. Greg Poppovich is an f’n genius! What better change of pace than to put an all star point guard in when the Mavs are resting old man river a.k.a. Jason Kidd? Last night was awesome. From the very beginning, going down and getting autographs from the players to 2 min left in the game when the Mavs fans left their seats to “beat traffic.” That Dallas traffic at 11:30pm is horrible man. I also enjoyed the epic fail by the Mavs to try and embarrass Tony Parker by playing his rap video. Parker Rap Video Oh you didn’t know he had a rap video? Me either. I really like Cory’s cameo at 0:28. I also think Cory’s dance moves are pretty sick at 1:39. Still, I wish he had done the worm oh well. Running tally Mavs 4, Spurs 1! Finally!

3. It’s Draft Day! This day has been like a holiday for me for as long as I have been watching football. The format is different this year so it makes it harder to get everyone together like the old days, but it’s still the draft! As long as the Packers don’t end up with Tebow and somehow the Steelers, Texans, or Cowboys end up with him or Colt McCoy, it will be a great draft! Ladies and Gentlemen the St. Louis Rams are on the clock
