NBA: Land of 0 Lakes

A great day for Lakers-haters today, as they lost in embarrassing fashion to the Phoenix Suns and were eliminated from playoff contention. To this, I say woo-hoo.
The land of zero lakes hasn't been the same since Shaq left. Those who thought that Kobe could lead the team (a group that includes Mr. Bryant himself, and about 2 other people) were put in their place. Finally. Not to say that Kobe isn't a great basketball player, because clearly he is. In the previous 2 games against the Suns this year (he was "injured" and did not play last night), he scored a triple-double. Of course, in those 2 games the Suns came back to win it. And there you have, in a nutshell, Kobe Bryant. Flashy when he can be, worthless when it counts.
The basketball gods are smiling today.

One more thought on the NBA, moving to the other coast: Did you ever play with Legos when you were a kid? Were you one of those kids who completely ignored the instructions, only to end up having your new creation look like utter crap? Don't get me wrong, there were kids who could pull that off really well, but then there were others who just flailed around wildly, sticking pieces where they didn't belong, mixing and matching all sorts of horrid combinations...
In case you haven't guessed where I was going with this, I'm talking about Isiah Thomas and the Knicks. Enough said.

You've reached the bottom of the glass.
