BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Game Two

Game Two


My biggest surprise about Game One of the NBA finals was that San Antonio didn't more easily defeat Cleveland. In light of that it was no real surprise to turn on the TV tonight and see SA heading into halftime with the second biggest lead in the history of NBA finals. Well, I was surprised that it was almost halftime, but I hadn't exactly set an alarm for 6pm, or whenever the game was due to start, so bleh.

At any rate, game one was only close because SA couldn't shoot straight. They seem to have gotten over that tonight, and while SA's suffocating defense again held Cleveland to around 30 points for the half, SA's offense returned, and they put up almost 60. And that's that. The real danger here is that this might threaten my half-assed prediction that not only will Cleveland lose every game, but that they'll lose every half. If SA were up by 10 or even 15 they'd come out fierce and build the lead. But 25? Isn't some degree of relaxation and let down from SA inevitable at this point? I'd think that a corresponding prideful awakening of "We're getting humiliated on ABC." would stir in the shriveled hearts of the Cavaliers, but that obviously has no effect on the people starring in the upcoming ABC programs, and I'm not counting on seeing it from Cleveland either. Desire only goes so far against vastly superior talent, strategy, and coaching, after all.

On the bright side, I'm hungry and planning on making a wokful of shrimp fried rice, and now I can get right to that, without any worries about missing the second half of the third to last NBA game of the season.


In happier news, this is months old but I only just saw it today, and since it's pretty clearly the best thing ever in the history of the Internet, how could I not share the link?
