Now That We All Get to Experience David Stern’s Wet Dream…

Man, it feels so good to be back in this warm and fuzzy seat, as I peck away at this keyboard again…After doing my best impression of the groundhog. No, I didn’t see my shadow…I was spraying bodily fluids out of every orifices of my body. Go to Los Angeles for a few days, freeze my ass off, somehow don’t get sick…Return home to the state that doesn’t know how to obey the Democratic primary rules and need an iron lung for a week. What’s up with that shit…Go figure!
Really, you can’t…Remember how last season when the Boston Celtics pin-pong ball didn’t land them the first overall pick so they could take Greg Oden. Well, how’d that work out? If you’re the Portland TrailBlazers not good at all, but if you’re one of those Beantown Boppers after wiping away the tears from that heartbreak…Um yeah, I’d say you’re happier than when a baby relieves themselves in their Huggies. Danny Ainge looks like a genius…And thanks to good ole friend Kevin McHale, Danny Boy has a legitimate shot to be the GM of the Year. Far cry from a year ago where we were trying to pick between Isiah Thomas and him!
So yes, this year’s edition of the NBA Finals will have a nostalgia flavor to it, AKA The David Stern Wet Dream! After all this cat has been through with the league of the past few seasons with Referee Scandal, to players packing and everything else that has given the league black eyes over this time period…I just have one question. Could D.S. be any happier than a pig who loves to roll around in his shit and squeal until the cows come home. I mean damn, how many story lines does this 2008 Finals Edition bring to the table? Presently I don’t fully know, although you bet your ass that every media outlet will beat all of them to a dead horse…Some much in fact that you better believe that before this series ends PETA will be getting involved in some fashion!
Lets face it, the last few editions of The Finals have been well, last year I wrote of , "Instead of Watching the NBA Finals, I’d Rather be Riding Up and Down on a Freaking Elevator" (really good read by the way) so that should give you some clue as to how the Finals have gone MIA. For this, I don’t sense that, but rather we all remember 20 years ago when these two franchises sporting them daisy dukes beating the shit out of each other and while Pal Gasol will be playing the role of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kevin Garnett will be the Chief, believe it or not this is exactly what the doctor ordered for the NBA, and especially its Finals.
Like many outside of Boston and L.A., I can give a flying **** who wins this series, but a good portion of us are just going to watch from simply the standpoint of it’s the Purple & Gold vs. the Green & White. As sports enthusiasts we love nostalgia, vintage, throwback, and whatever else one calls it and in all honesty, this is what is meant by that…Particularly in the NBA! Twenty years ago these two franchises play an important role in starting to build the league into what it has become today…Paving the way for Michael and the Bulls and everything that has gone on since! I’m just wondering what the hell is Dick Stockton doing these days? Perhaps Dick would love to make a broadcast cameo for ABC?
So lets all sit back and get wetter than a whore in church over his dream that eventually did come true. All year Big Dave was dreaming of a Finals matchup such as the one that he has before him. Now it’s just time to sit back and watch it unfold. Shit, I just remembered something…I need to trade my 56-inch LCD TV in and find a 20-inch Zenith, (with of course rabbit ears)! And then everything will be set!
