This Says It All

"For not watching basketball hardly, I sure was into the game last night lol.  Great game Spurs - I'm officially a fan now.  I want a shirt too lol..." -Valerie Saenz-



Good morning everyone.  I have a lot to say tonight (much more than I'm going to say), so let's get started.  I haven't posted in about a week because I spent the majority of the weekend with my brother's family in San Antonio.  My niece Sarah celebrated her birthday, and fifth graders can PAR TEE..  :)  Below is a photo of Sarah's room later in the night, which looked more like a nightclub than a bedroom...

Earlier in the day (and also the night before) there were some serious games of charades going on, which included my nephew Elijah helplessly trying to demonstrate 'Hello Kitty' by crawling around on the floor waving with one hand while 'pawing' with the other (like a cat).  Lots of good times. Thanks again to my brother and his wife for shuttling me to and from San Antonio for the festivities.

Speaking of festivities...

Oh yeah, you KNEW that we were going to be talking about the Spurs tonight...  :D  I guess when Tim Duncan made the "this time we'll get it done" comment after the OKC series, he wasn't kidding...  Like I said when I passed that quote along to you before, he said it with total confidence, just nonchalantly...  I really did think that last year was our last best chance to win the title with our current roster, but among other things, it became clear watching this year's Finals that my favorite player (Manu Ginobili) was obviously worn out at the end of last season, if not also playing through injuries...

After Manu went on to dunk this one over Chris Bosh, I never really considered the Heat a threat to catch up in the series finale...  My friend Linda shared one of my favorite postgame moments on facebook, when Duncan SUDDENLY jumped into David Robinson's arms (David was the seasoned veteran when Timmy entered the league)...

I had no intention of coming here tonight and completely trashing LeBron James (and I won't), but my friend Crystal shared a photo on facebook that pretty perfectly sums up why I don't have any respect for him...

This says it all, doesn't it?  On the top, this year's Finals' MVP, Kawhi Leonard.  Notice any difference between the two photographs???  It's ALWAYS ABOUT LEBRON...  PFFFTTT...  Okay, no soapbox tonight...

I'm happy to say that the Bovada account is back up to $48.99 (original deposit of $50.00) after the Kings hit at 10/1 to win the Cup, and the Spurs hit at 11/4 ($5.00 bet) to win the Finals.  Only one and a half more months of "practice betting" my friends, and I'll be back in the desert...  :)  I'm SURE that we'll talk more about that later though...  ;)  Have a good one, and I'll see you soon...
