Yes. Did you all see that one play where the Dutch guy kung-fu'd the Spanish guy? DAMN.

See the 1999 playoffs.

Which will mean a Heat-Knicks first round matchup, because Boston and Orlando are still better than Miami.

He had a chance to play on the biggest stage in the world, but he was too chickenshit to take it. Reggie Jackson is 10 times the man LeBron James is.

And with Ewing, EVERYBODY in New York loves him, because we know he tried his best and got screwed by the organization and the hyena braying of the New York media. He may not have a ring, but he has the undying love of basketball fans in the world's greatest city. As for LeBron, he is hated in Cleveland - because let's face it, he really did quit in the playoffs; he left the Cavs before he left the Cavs - and will be hated in Miami when he doesn't deliver the goods.

Thank God for the Lakers!

Face it, dude - you now root for the New York Yankees of the NBA.

Unexpectedly, all of this has actually strengthened my bond with the Knicks. May LeBron, Wade, Bosh and Riley fail, and their dreams lie shattered on the ground. I look forward to the day when James, his knees shot and no rings on his fingers, is bitter and despised, like Charles Foster Kane in Xanadu.

Shit, I guess this means I have to root for the Lakers now. Barf.

If he goes to Miami, that's another decade of irrelevance for the Knicks.

It would seem like an hour-long fuck you to hold the special in kinda-close-to-NYC Greenwich, Conn., and then announce he's staying in Cleveland.

Here comes the Eighty Years War grudge match!

Should LBJ become a Knick, I hope he revitalizes the "L" gesture.

God I love Johan Santana. See, if the NL had a DH rule, we would have been robbed of a beautiful thing.

No kidding. Dude don't rebound, and he don't play much D. I can't wait to start rooting for the Brooklyn Nets.

Well, it wasn't like Ghana had a great shot to beat Holland either.

Sure, but I think it would be a karmic balancing to hit Rolen and then be like, "Now that's what it's like to be hit by the pitch, Gramps."

If Pelfrey gets to face Rolen again, he should totally drill his ass for that World Cup-soccer-player-level acting job he did last night.

Oh and I DL'd a Mahavishnu Orchestra concert from Wolfgang's Vault.

Did the laundry, made banana bread and hot roast beef sandwiches and watched the Mets game and The Last Waltz with my friend John. Now I am drinking red wine and generally pursuing happiness.

Suarez is going to be king of Uruguay when he gets back. It was not a terribly honorable thing for him to do, but the logic of it, given the rules of the game and the situation his team was in, can't be denied. He gave his team a fighting chance, and his team took it. (After the Ghana guy choked, that is.) Whatever FIFA may or may not do to him is far far preferable to what his own countrymen would have done to him if he had not used his hands. I would love to see Holland and Spain in the finals. Eighty Years' War grudge match!

GHANA GHANA GHANA GHANA GHANA!!!!!!!!!!

Yay Canada!

Nice Mustang!
