5/22: Lakers/Spurs, Soccer?

To the association...
  • The Lakers come back late and drown out the Spurs at home.....San Antonio led throughout and that fact makes this loss a little harder to swallow if you are a Spurs fan....Tim Duncan was huge for SA with 30 and 18 but the absence of Manu Ginobili (just 3-13 shooting) was a big factor down the stretch....and that leads us to Kobe Bean Bryant....who somehow only converted 1 FG in the first half...and ended up with 27 points in a vintage "To shoot or not to shoot" performance from the sometimes heady Bryant...A very interesting to what should be a great (and long) series....
Other stuff....
  • I watched soccer yesterday....wanted to see what the fuss was about in the UEFA Champions League Final....I was entertained only by the PK situation at the end of the game...so that should tell you something
  • MLB: Brandon Webb goes down....can't be undefeated forever although he pitched pretty well again....The Braves have now won the 1st 3 of the 4-gamer with the Mets setting up the huge Hudson/Santana battle tonight.....Jermaine Dye bombed twice for CWS...Bartolo Colon lives and breathes! with a Win no less....doesn't mean that his spot shouldn't be held by Justin Masterson however....I have a sneaking suspicion it might be Tim Wakefield that loses his rotation slot for late in the year.....
  • Jason Taylor reportedly nearing the outs in Miami....he deserves to play for a contender anyway....and I still maintain it's one of the ballsier things I've seen for him to just not show up for off-season program because of Dancing with the Stars....just hilarious if you sit back and think about it
  • USC officials maintain they had no knowledge of improper benefits to OJ Mayo....Oh, you mean the flat-screens and new clothes for the kid you knew was dirt poor when he signed there? What else were they going to say?
