So the NBA Final 4 is set. The Thunder will dance with the Spurs while Miami and Indiana renew their rivalry. I only seem to like basketball during the playoffs anymore. Perhaps it allows me to watch without the edges of fear and disappointment gnawing through my psyche. I know the Knicks aren’t going to be there, so I’m no longer waiting for them to let me down. I’m good with two of these teams winning it all. If the Spurs take it, then that is class on display right there. The Spurs have been the class of the NBA since David Robinson. The Heat, on the other hand, are the flash and fire of the league–a rag tag group of has beens and role playing vets clinging hopefully to the power of the big three. If I were a betting man, I’d plop down my cash on the Heat. In fact, I think I will head out to Vegas some time soon and do just that.
I’m not putting down cash on a Jets v. Giants Superbowl yet. I don’t want to jinx it.
The truth is, both teams gained some legitimacy this off season. The Jets ushered in a new QB controversy while the G-men ended their receiver controversy in the first round. It looks like the new NYG offense is going to stress 3 wide sets and use the spread to open up lanes in the run game.It is certainly a interesting approach. Knowing that they don’t have playmaking tight end points to the fact that this may be a good idea.
Me, I’m out of ideas and tired for the night. More tomorrow.
