Wrong Again

Well, I missed that one, and my faith in professional basketball has been reborn.

When the game started tonight and Lebron hit those quick threes, I changed channels and watched something else, I could see it happening as I predicted. Well, Dallas was ahead at the half and I turned over and watched an old Jack Benny show.

I switched to the game when there was two minutes left, it looked like Dallas might win, but, there was still a chance ........... but NO, Dallas won, with only one star, who I really didn't know much about. And, the Dallas star, Dirk Nowitzki, (pictured here) turned out to be the MVP of the game, trophy presented to him by the man the trophy was named after, Bill Russell.

The MVP wasn't one of the three stars from Miami, the "Dream Team" lost, happiness reined in Cleveland. They were probably celebrating as much up by the "Lake" as they were in Dallas.

A great ending to the season, I still think that someone screwed up, it wasn't supposed to end this way, but it did. Will be a long Summer for some ...........
