- Hmm... who knew that a little blog on the NBA could have turned into such drama? Not I. Anyways, I don't care if people disagree with me or with each other - actually, that's mostly why I have the comment feature to begin with. If anyone has anything worthwhile to say, don't let me or anyone else stop you. The only other thing I might say about that is to please try and avoid name calling. Although sometimes that's half the fun right there.

For Laker Hater Too, don't worry, I don't think you're a giant vagina for not posting your name. Anonymous commenters sometimes have good things to say too. But in this case, I'd have to say that posting a comment just to lecture other people on arguing about stuff that you think is not important, makes no sense. It reminds me of those people who reply-to-all in mass emails just to tell everyone else not to reply-to-all. Just as counter-productive and hypocritical.

Meanwhile, I'm still rooting against the Lakers and I don't see anything wrong with that. Also, even though the Pistons are up 3-1, I still think they might lose this series. Wouldn't be surprised if Kobe takes over this next game and wins it singlehandedly, and then the last 2 are in LA, so anything is possible. Not saying they'll blow it for sure, but I can definitely see the potential collapse happening. Not to mention, I still think the NBA is shady and they would do anything in their power (like manipulating refs) to extend the series.

- Happy bday to Caddy (a week late).

- Observation: it's mid June and we haven't had played any softball yet. I have been asked to organize a game sometime, and right now I'm eyeing the weekend of 6/26-27 because I can't do it this weekend, and the next is Fourth of July. Whoever is interested in playing, please talk to me with any input (i.e. preferred dates, location, time, how many people you can bring, etc.)

- If anybody out there has been to New York City, please share any of your experiences or thoughts. What are the best places to go to? Restaurants, landmarks, shopping, bars/clubs, etc.? What can you find around there that you can't find in Chicago?
