The girls and the boys.
- I asked three friends if they (and/or anybody else they could think of) wanted to go to the game with me and maybe do dinner before or drinks after. One had a good excuse not to go, another mildly annoyed me, and the third just pissed me off. So I went by myself, and didn’t go anywhere else before or after. I still had plenty of fun.
- As I was walking down the stairs to the empty seats that cost more than the ticket I bought, I saw Andrea Lloyd Curry on her way up and she was scarily tan. Not quite leathery (yet), but dark as hell.
- I think Katie Smith and Diana Taurasi are very similar players. Similar physical size and build, tough bang-’em style, ability to elevate on the spot, ability to create plays, leadership on the floor, and that cocky swagger. As far as I can tell, the biggest difference is that DT is kinda swarthy and KS is ghostly white.
- It was a great game. Lots of offense. Good defense. A big comeback for the Lynx to pull out the win.
- Hello, Diana Taurasi! *drool* I got lots of great looks at her from my 8th row foul-line seat, not that you can tell from the pictures I took. Gonna be back in town on July 9th, Dee? Call me.
- I kinda like the orange road uniforms that the Mercury wear. They’re not nearly as pink as they look on tv.
- I’m still trying to figure out why Helen Darling doesn’t play more. Not a big scorer, but a tenacious defender. She played hard as hell in the 8 second-half minutes she had. Girlfriend’s got some junk in the trunk, and all that hair grew naturally out of her head, too. And I’m older than her (by four months). Weird.
- You know what I hate about watching Laker games on tv? The celebrity-spotting in the crowd. Who gives a shit? Joe Dumars and Rick Mahorn, on the other hand, are interesting.
- Even though I don’t really like him and he’s a pretty boy with pretty hair, Rick Fox is hot as hell. Seriously.
- I’m really tired of hearing the term “Hack-a-Shaq.”
- Not that I’m lacking in confidence in my team, but I really didn’t think the Pistons would take Game 1 on the road. Especially since Rip Hamilton had such a terrible game. But they did, and pretty handily considering all they did to give it away at the end. Too bad nobody but Kobe or Shaq could score for the Lakers.
