Amazingly my prediction turned out to be wrong and the Celtics beak the Lakers in 6 games. Also amazingly, there were a stack of people at Cheers bar, where i caught the last 10 minutes of game 6, who seemed absolutely over the moon at the C's win. I gotta say, I let out a few yelps when the Dogs took out the title in 04, but my fannitude is nothing compared to these freaks. Spose i'm just not used to seeing people care about basketball teams like that. One guy in particular was way too happy - heck, he was even more excited that Kevin Garnett (by the way this reporter takes the cake, for today, in terms of stupidity. "Kevin, you've dreamed of winning a championship. How does the reality compare with the dream?" What's he supposed to say? Well, reality is better. The dream is obviously more dream like, but it's not quite the same as reality. Great question!) I was very happy for the original manchild, don't get me wrong. We've been through so much together. I really feel he can kick on and win another title in the next 10 to 15 years. It was also funny watching Paul Pierce's reaction: "I told y'all! Yeah!!!" Simple but good.
What now on the sporting horizon? Sports Guy has kind of demolished Wimbledon for me, if it wasn't already. The Euro champs are heating up. I really want to watch Italy Spain but i don't think SBS is televising it. Goddamn it! Meanwhile the dogs are laying turd after turd. This isn't a rebuilding year, by the way - it's a demolishing year, where they fall apart and destroy all the foundations. Rebuilding will be the next year or two. And the Kings are dead too. Sport, you've left me unfulfilled once again. I shall now go and play with my Kubb sticks.
