Basketball Good

Once Daughters was banished from my life, yesterday was all basketball all the time. First up: off to Madison Square Garden to watch the Liberty make easy work of destroying the San Antonio Silver Stars. We invited two friends of ours who've never seen the Liberty play. I believe we have a couple of converts. Yay! And then home to watch the final quarter of the sixth game of the NBA finals where the men's San Antonio team was also beaten. Dee-troit! Bas-ket-baaall! Now if only the cricket would start doing what I want it to!

Deee-troit! Baaas-ket-ball! (Part 2)

I love the way basketball makes a second seem like a really long time. The game is so fast it makes time slow down. I love that tonight seven Detroit players were in double figures. No stars. Lots of sharing the ball. Just like the WNBA.

Deee-troit! Baaas-ket-ball!

That is all. No, I'm not going to talk about the Twenty20 match. On HDTV Ben Wallace looks like a god. That is really all. Good night.

Yay! Detroit won!

The only team in the men's basketball association with brains enough to play like a wnba team has beaten miami to make it through to the finals and go up against san antonio. What an excellent day this has been.
