The 'Bulin Wall
Da Cup Baby!!
It was a great way to wait until the start of football. However, this summer will be different. No hockey and well, let's face it, the NBA is a little dull these days. It's strange that since Jordan retired, we all seem a little less interested in basketball. Of course, March Madness pulls us in like our lives depended on it, but the NBA just doesn't have it anymore.
What has happened to the NBA? Remember when Jordan was playing? Oh my god, everyone and I mean everyone was glued to their TV's watching the Bulls pull another series out. Unless there is a brawl a la the Pistons and Pacers, no one really cares. Oh sure, there are still some awesome players like Duncan, Garnett, Kidd, and even Shaq. But the NBA lacks the drawing power it once had. I wish I had an explanation for the downfall, I really do. I'd like to know, contact the NBA, and have them fix it. I still love the Spurs but if they're not in the Finals and I don't happen to be watching TV at the time .... chances are I won't catch the game.
But there are reminders of whats to come in the fall in the spring. The NFL draft comes and goes in April. The NFL draft is the cocktease of sports; it's just enough to give you a taste of the football season coming up, but it won't satisfy you no matter the situation. So I'll just catch a few baseball games (pro and minor league) and just bide my time 'til preseason.

We don't really understand American sports over this side of the Atlantic. Baseball is a girls game here. Ice Hockey appears to be institutionalised violence. As for American Football, we can't quite figure out why you need to wear so much protective rubbish just to play Rugby. And Basketball, for a game where so many points get scored it just seems to be strangely dull.
I applaud your choice in teams though. But only the name. You need to get into the REAL Spurs, the finest sports team in the world!
da leafs, da bills its all the same to me, hunny.
