Thumbs Up: Golden State Warriors
There really isn’t anything else to say that hasn’t already been said endlessly. This series has been dissected worse than a frog in 7th grade biology class, except for two things:
1. When did Matt Barnes become psychotic looking? I hadn’t watched him closely since the Bobcats went out there and beat them (which makes the Mavs’ inability to win at the Oracle even MORE humiliating, by the way), but he’s like a “before” and “after” Travis Bickle.
2. Everyone keeps joking about Andres Biedrins’ horrible foul shooting technique, and I find those kinds of personal attacks tasteless and juvenile…especially when what they ought to be concentrating on is his massive overuse of fake tan oil—dude’s approaching He-Man Bronze. Seriously, though, he was the key to Game 6, when he defended the hoop like it was the secrets of Castle Grayskull. In the critical third quarter, with the Warriors up 62-57 and 7:30 left in the period, AB grabbed 4 rebounds, drew 2 fouls, and had a blocked shot over the next 4-and-a-half minutes. The Mavericks didn’t score again until AB subbed out with 2:51 left. He played like He-Man and made Dirk Nowitzki look like Kringer. Thanks to him, Dirk now has a reservation for 1 at Peyton Manning’s old suite in the A-Rod Circle of Postseason Failure Hell.
Thumbs Sideways: Major League Baseball
I’m a Yankees fan…need I say more? I can’t tell you how happy I was to see Jaret Wright gone, only to find out that Kei Igawa is basically a Japanese bootleg copy of him. So as long as the Yanks screw it up, I’m forced to keep scrolling around the Extra Innings package. Two days ago I stumbled on a Royals broadcast, and I urge you to check it out if you get a chance, because their broadcast station, RSTN, is comically cheap. It’s public access-level bad; they’re not even capable of putting up graphics for the opposing team’s batters. RSTN makes News14 Bobcats broadcasts look like Star Wars movies.
Thumbs Down: The President’s Veto
Regardless of your political affiliation, explain to me how setting deadlines is “micromanaging”?
