Game 1 thoughts

We're talking NBA of course...

• If the Celtics keep pounding it down low, they can really win this thing. Unfortunately, I know all of Boston is holding their breath waiting for Doc's next move...
• Kobe did not look good at all last night. Sometimes I guess you just don't have it, but was this more a product of the Celtic D? I think we'll know for sure by the end of game 2.
• Pierce recovered from the knee injury awfully quick. On the whole, we should all be happy that he's not seriously hurt, especially since the competitive levels of these games would drop dramatically without him. But it has to be said... he looked like such a baby getting carried off the court. Yeah, I'm sure it hurt like a bitch, but still - it couldn't have been that bad if he was able to get back on the court in 3 minutes.
• I really like that play by play team ABC is trotting out, but the rest of the coverage has been sub-par thus far. We don't need the Celtic/Laker rivalry of old being shoved down our throats every couple minutes. Really, the games will be good; you don't need to count on all the nostalgia to keep everyone tuned in, I promise.

More later not tied to basketball. After all, there's like another week before the next game right?

Breakfast shot

• Big Brown wins the Preakness, is only one step away from all the glory that is the Triple Crown. I think Deadspin said it best - I can't tell the difference between from one horse to another. I'm all for the history and shit, but I really can't get excited about it.
• Celtics come through at home, much to the relief of the city of Boston. And Bill Simmons. I think we can all agree that a suicidal Sports Guy would not translate into any interesting columns. Although it might be funny at first, it would probably just be overdone and boring, like everything else at the WWL.
• At what point does LeBron pull a Kobe and demand a better team with the threat of sitting out until his contract runs out? Just something all you annoying Cavs fans should think about
• The Yankees are in last place in the AL East. They got thumped pretty good last night too, on national TV even. At least New York's still got those Mets....
• Mike D'Antoni and that Walsh guy were on ESPN talking about how awesome the Knicks are going to be... really just depressed me. Speaking of which -
• The Bulls still don't have a coach yet.
