End of the Bench: Observations on the World of Sports
 
I can’t believe I did it yet again. That’s right—I underestimated the Spurs. I seriously thought they were too old and that they were completely overmatched against the talented Mavericks. Looks like I was wrong. It kills me to write this, because it means another round of watching the Spurs boring yet oh-so-effective brand of basketball. The Spurs are like the Energizer Bunny—they keep going and going and going.

They are led by the big 3: Ginobli, Parker, and Duncan. As much as I hate Ginobli, the guy can play. That doesn’t mean I have to prevent myself from gouging my eyes out every time I watch him play—Ginobli flops more than Free Willy. Parker is probably the most enjoyable to watch, and anytime I get sad I can always go watch his ill-fated rapping career. Last we have Tim Duncan. After watching Lebron play, it’s like going from 300 to Pride and Prejudice—the excitement just isn’t the same. However, I must say that Duncan is sickeningly effective. I hate how good he is.

So the Spurs are going to play the winner of the Trailblazers-Suns series. As of right now (I am writing during Game 7 and the Suns are up by 12) it looks like the Suns are going to win. I do know that while I will be vehemently cheering against the Spurs, my heart knows that most likely I will have to watch them in yet another Western Conference Finals.
