Steve Nash with the highest-scoring game of the playoffs so far? MVP, what?
Was Larry Brown wearing a flannel shirt at the postgame interview table? Did anyone find anything on Dale Davis's mustache? (Actually, I did on the Indy Star just now, and all it talks about is his looking "younger" without the gray-flecked goatee. Didn't anyone ask if it was for Ron-Ron?) Are the Pacers done? How the heck did the Sonics beat the Spurs two games in a row? (Have I finally been guilty of underestimating the Sonics?) Can they beat the Spurs in San Antonio without Vlad Rad AND Rashard Lewis? Will I ever stop asking questions and start answering them? (I doubt it.)
Yep, the second round is interesting, all right. Except for the Wizards, who just had a day pass, everything's going at least six. Which, of course, is the way the Commish and the home teams want it. If the season doesn't end until August, so be it. By the time Shaq plays again, it'll feel like a whole new season.
Where do we go from here? I feel the inevitability of a Heat/Spurs Finals (please oh please oh please, not Spurs/Detroit). Shaq on plenty of rest mixed with an absolutely transcendent Dwyane Wade (can't you argue he's a top-10 guy right now? Maybe even top 5?) is going to be very hard to stop, especially if the Pacers can at least make the Pistons have to work hard the rest of the way. (I just don't see Indy winning that series--sorry, Reggie.) Gonna go Spurs over Sonics out West still (although at full strength it looks as if it could be another story) and Mavs/Suns? I give up. I'll enjoy watching the rest of it, though.
And hey, is it just me, or is there a slightly longer version of that Yao GPS ad now that makes more sense?

All of this senseless MVP chatter can only be answered with a Suns v. Heat Final. But the NBA rules commitee, Larry Johnson and I would like to see which style would prevail in a Suns v. Pistons matchup. Why? Because we hate Alonzo Mourning that much.
Not only did Larry Brown wear that flannel joke, but (and I wish I were joking) he also had the distinctive (and abhorrent) scent of patchouli on. He passed by me on the way into the conference room with two other people, and I got a huge whiff. After he left, I made a point to pretend like I needed to head somewhere else and just "happened" to walk past LB just to confirm it -- and sho'nuff, it was him.
