Back to Basketball Fever
I don't follow the Pistons too closely during the regular season. I don't have cable and I don't live in Detroit and so they're just not there to be watched. But now that it's the playoffs, I'm on it. Although I had just assumed they'd be done with the Cavaliers in 5. Who knew they'd let Cleveland win three in a row and have to come from behind and win Games 6 and 7 to advance to the Conference Final? Crikey.
I watched Game 7 yesterday and holy shit that was a good one. LeBron James really is an amazing player, but he just could not quite get it together. So I worry because the boys are tired and Miami's been waiting patiently for them to finish up. But I have confidence.
At the same time, the WNBA season is starting up and the L-y-n-x** have their first home game tomorrow night, which I expect to attend. I saw their preseason game against Seattle and it was great. Seimone Augustus is unbelievable. She made everything look so easy.
I ought to look into a multi-game package. I'm not gonna cough up for a season ticket, but I am available to go to pretty much all the games, and that's gonna add up quick. Sunshine Sinatra conceded that a WNBA game might not be totally boring (after I made a brilliant Katie Smith/Kevin Garnett analogy), so I know for sure I'm gonna go to a game with him. Hopefully when Detroit comes to town.
**For some strange reason, my MT install chokes with very particular uses of the word "l-y-n-x" so obfuscation it is.

Oh, I wish I could see the girls at home! I'm hoping to see them in Connecticut. Cheer on AJ for me (especially if she gets the start!).
Amber's started every game so far. There was talk about how she was on the bubble with Megan Duffy and Shona Thorburn on the roster, but it sounds like she really stepped it up and has earned the starting PG spot hands down.
I'd be down for catching a game with you sometime! I've only been to one and that was at least 3 years ago.
Really? Yay!
