It is a relief to talk about sports. Maybe that is why people do it so much. Sports is so far removed from my life and I have such a wealth of data that I can successfully chat about sports for hours. In that time I can successfully ignore all of the drama going on in my own life. So, yay sports!
Tonight I caught a glimpse of the Houston Rockets unleashing a beatdown on the Warriors. Good. I’m not a fan of the Warriors. I’m largely past the stacked team hate and more on to the wasting good talent hate as I consider all of the solid players who have been relegated to role players on that squad. I’m talking to you, Klay Thompson! The Rockets won 127-105 and it really wasn’t that close. The late stages of the 4th quarter was largely garbage minutes after the 2nd Q largely determined the outcome.
Meanwhile in the Eastern Conference, the LeBron show is not enough. 2-0 go the Celtics and that is without the help of Kyrie. I’m left to believe that Irving will not be part of the program next year, which gives me such high hopes that he could wind up on the Knicks–a team about to launch into a new offense, and one that could be cut from the 2-player cloth of the Stockton-Malone era.
Some Thoughts:
- That was slightly cathartic
