…we have a winner

…it is us. The last two Democratic primaries are tomorrow, and the NBA finals start this week. There were other interesting stories, but as I tuned out NPR early this morning my imagination jumped ahead to a Celtic/Laker game seven. Overtime. Final score 102-95. Kevin lifts the trophy and celebrates with his ecstatic team-mates while Kobe holds an impromptu news conference in front of a crowd of weeping, angry fans. “We won,” he says confidently. “We had the ball more than they did, and we had more assists. And the refs should’ve counted the three-pointer I shot after time ran out in the first half—even though the other team was leaving the floor. It was a beauty, and not counting it just wasn’t fair. Besides, we won lots of other important games in the playoffs, and given our experience, doggone it - we deserve the championship.” Fade to reality…and more important things…yep.
I’m impressed! I didn’t peg you for someone who would know any players on the Celtics team. But you have it wrong; Boston will be whining and the Lakers celebrating.
…LA is favored, it’s true…also true is that my high estimation of you is only slightly diminished because of your devotion to the….uh,…that team from CA, the….um….O, what’s their name….uh…………….O, you know. mm
