let's go, Wiz!

Tonight is Game 6 of the NBA playoffs series between my Washington Wizards (oooh...this is a momentous occasion--I have not referred to an NBA team as 'mine' in forever) and the Cleveland Cavs. The star player on the Cleveland Cavs is LeBron James, the newest heir to Jordan's throne (for those of you who don't remember, the original heir was Baby Jordan himself, Harold Minor, a USC alum). From what I've seen, James is alright. But from what I remember of Jordan's career, the Bulls did not win their first playoffs series with Jordan. They ended up losing, which will also happen to the Cavs this time around because they're too busy "witnessing" James' game. Apparently, James is also buying into his "Witness" hype by recently wearing a t-shirt with the promo tag line. Ugh. Whatever. His arrogance annoys me. DUDE, win a couple of championships and then we can talk about how great you are.

So, I predict victory for my Wiz and my boy Gilbert Arenas, arguably the best player on the team. I claim Gil as my own because I just recently found out that the kid was born in LA and when to high school in the Valley! That's right, he's a Valley boy and I'm proud. I'm even more proud of the fact that he went to U of AZ and is a Pac-10 boy. I'll be cheering loudly (and proudly) for Gil and the rest of the team at the game tonight. Nothing like a Game 6 must-win-situation to pump up the crowd at Verizon Center! I love this game!

Thanks for the tickets, boo boo!
