NBA finals
The Lakers are playing the Celtics in the NBA Finals. I gotta say, I kinda hate the Lakers. Something about Kobe Bryant is just... eeurgh. He is a freaking good player though, and seems just too good for everyone else right now. What bugs me is that the Lakers were not supposed to be that much better than everyone else. It just kinda came outta nowhere. So here I am, rooting for the Celtics, who can't even pronounce Celtic. Kevin Garnett, the original man child, won't ever get a better chance to win the title. Based on regular season form you might have tipped the Cs, they did win 66 games, 10 more than the Showtime. But postseason they've been poor. Worst case scenario, they lose their first two games at home and the series is over in a cakewalk. I'm hopeful that they'll make a series out of it, and even squeak out a win. A sweep is probably too much to ask, although Kobe could slip on a banana peel and be ruled out for the Finals. Prediction: Lakers in 6.

Man, you're really pulling out the sport talk. Squeak in a win? I'll squeak it out my ^$$cr^ck. Sorry - I know you meant well. Very, very well.
I reckon The Celtics should bring Kevin McHale back into the team for his experience. He may be aged, but with his knowledge, he can defeat the opponents by just standing on the spot and ruminating.
In other news, pro tennis players worldwide are enlisting the help of coaches that instil toughness. These 'toughness coaches' often have little tennis knowledge, but come from backgrounds such as bush tuckery and the military. Andy Roddick for example, recently signed a two year trial contract with ex Bush General Edward Ames, who once won a mercenary guerilla war by wearing and eating nothing but gooseberries for 18 years.
Said Roddick, "If I can assume 14% of Ames' resilience, I should have a good shot at the French next year. The man is tough. Nutritionally stunted, but tough." - cw
I thought Ames won the guerilla war by wearing and eating gorilla hides, and gently sipping gooseberries served in platters of the purest gold.
Lleyton Hewitt has three coaches - technical, conditioning and toughness. His technical coach, Jason Stoltenberg no longer wears glasses, having opted for contacts after being denied a contract with Tennis Australia in summer 2003. His conditioning coach is Aranxta Sanchez Vicario, and she is implementing a high-powered regime of sangria and siestas. Htime
