Just Checking..... Yup, Still Dead

I was sitting at a tavern last night grabbing a bite to eat and a few "second to last day of working beers" and I thought all the TVs were off. It turns out that after talking to the gentleman next to me, that actually the NBA playoffs were on the TV. Since it is dead to me, I do not even notice if it were on. DOes anyone even care or waste their time watching this s**t, especially after all these new claims of cheating and rigging by the refs.

Whenever anyone asks me when I stopped watching the NBA, I always cite the series in 2002 when the Lakers beat the Kings by shooting 27 free throws in the 4th Quarter and Divac and Webber on the Kings fouling out. It now appears I was about 6 years ahead of everyone else in realizing that it was fixed.

Editors Note: Also on the TV at the time was a replay of the Brewers' game, but I had to sit sideways on my chair to watch it. I was asked "wouldn't I rather watch the NBA playoffs than a replay of the Brewers' game." Fact: I would rather watch a replay of a Brewers' loss than Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
