The NBA’s second season will be starting in a couple of days. The rest of these dudes are huddled up preparing to give you their analysis on who’s going to do what & where the chip will go. Enh…before all that, I wanted to give you my playoff pep talk (or maybe a downer for some of you). I’m a former degenerate who goes partially off stats & the rest determined by gut instinct. And my instincts say LBJ & the Bron Bron’s will be the last team standing, swatting back all contenders. Plus, I just needed a reason to post these tee’s.

1. KG’s going to miss at least the opening round of the playoffs — Sorry Dart but you can’t walk into a battle with one of your main soldiers hobbled. Hell, they may not even make the first round because the Bulls are kind of hot (12 of their last 16 games, including a home W against Boston).

2. The home record — Enough said. Last night’s loss was a fluke considering the starters were more worried about chalupas than anything else.

3. “Bear Witness To The Greatest…” — I told you I always buy two’s (and sometimes threes and fours, but more on that later). These were $10 apiece so it made sense in my mind. I gotta prop Amp for unknowingly providing me with the assist by dropping his “Witness” comment last night.

The point being, the League is about money. If Cleveland wins, Lebron’s star stock will leave the stratosphere. While I’m not privy to any insider info, I believe Stern will be having a talk with the refs about fouls called in Q Arena.

In the end, I’m just a casual observer & lover of the game. With no money at stake & not real dog in the fight, I’m rooting on Cleveland just to see the continual changing of the guard in the League. That, plus anything to keep baseball & golf from dominating ESPN highlights.
