Comments on: Local Boys Make it to the Top! http://bloggochicago.com/2008/06/18/local-boys-make-it-to-the-top/ blah blah blah from the northwest side Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:34:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Barb http://bloggochicago.com/2008/06/18/local-boys-make-it-to-the-top/comment-page-1/#comment-4085 Barb Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:37:23 +0000 http://bloggochicago.com/2008/06/18/local-boys-make-it-to-the-top/#comment-4085 It's funny because I wasn't much of a fan until I married Brian, who played basketball in high school and still plays pick-up games regularly. He even got me watching college basketball with him this year! I have to admit, however, that I like NFL football better than pro basketball. :mrgreen: We don't have cable, so I don't get to watch many hockey games and anyway, this past season hockey was a sore spot for me because I was unable to play. I don't even know who creamed the Avalanche! For them, though, 8-1 is pretty bad. Too bad Detroit didn't lose that badly. Then again, they have the best goalie in the NHL and I do admire Chris Osgood. And of course Hasek is one of my favorites.

And I like basketball better than NFL football. So shoot me. I love hockey, though, but I swear, I almost changed favorite teams after that slaughter bestowed on the Avalanche during the playoffs. 8-1?? I couldn't even believe that massacre! A loss is one thing but that's an embarrassment! I’m really not a basketball fan at all, but actually I like the Bulls better than the Nuggets. And I like basketball better than NFL football.

I still love you. But it's a little harder during football season. :razz: That’s OK. I still love you. But it’s a little harder during football season. :razz:

Really. Of course I've heard of them, but I've never "listened" to their music. Barb, I couldn’t tell you 1 Chili Peppers song. Really.

Better, hopefully! Actually, that Chili Peppers song is called "Magic Johnson." You <i>do</i> know who the Chili Peppers are, though, don't you? :razz: Flea was at one of the games in L.A. and so was Anthony Kiedis. Too bad the band sucks now. Well, they have since <i>Blood Sugar Sex Magik.</i> <i>Any</i>ways, college football season can't come soon enough for me! :wink: We’ll see how they do next season with their new head coach.

I don't even know the Chili Peppers song about the Lakers, lol. During the games they usually play Randy Newman's "I love L.A." I could go on & on about basketball, but now we gotta wait til college football time!! Fun then, right, Barb! I think the Bulls were better this year than in the past few years.

Boston wasn't the underdog, but in my eyes they were because they hadn't won a championship in 22 years! And the Lakers are quite often in the finals. Speaking of Ray Allen, I thought it was funny that Denzel was at a couple of the games in L.A. because in the movie <i>Mo' Better Blues</i> Denzel plays Ray Allen's dad! I didn't realize that you're a Lakers fan. That's cool. I love that Chili Peppers song about the Lakers. When I was a kid I was a big fan of Magic and Kareem. Now I'm rambling. I still love the Bulls, even though they're in the toilet. :razz: OK, my bad. Boston wasn’t the underdog, but in my eyes they were because they hadn’t won a championship in 22 years!

But how can someone <i>not</i> be happy for Kevin Garnett? I like Doc Rivers too. The Celtics were most definitely the better team & deserved the championship. We were hoping Detroit would've come out of the East because the Celtics are such a damn good team! (I don't like Ray Allen though) 1 correction: The Celtics weren't the underdogs. They had more wins than any other team in the NBA & had home court advantage. They were expected to win. You're right, it's good to see guys that play for so long finally win. I didn't even know who Paul Pierce was before the playoffs & I was hugely happy for him, too. Still <3 my Lakers though. Well you probably know we’re HUGE Laker fans.
