today the rockets are going for their 22nd win in a row against the lakers, the second longest winning streak of all time during the regular season, and i'm not going to be able to watch it (cue gun to the head). really, what makes this even that much more impressive is that they've done about fifty percent of it without yao, who went down for the season 13 games ago. watching t-mac take over and basically single handedly carry the team on his shoulders and do all the dirty work is without a doubt the highlight of one of the most unlikely runs by one of the most unlikely teams in nba history. ever since i saw tracy mcgrady back when he was on orlando get fouled near the scorer's table and then proceed to take a sip out of a fans drink and then wink at the camera, he's been unquestionably one of my favorite players. not to mention that pre-injury plague, he used to take it to the hole and rock the rim harder than anyone in the league. yes, harder than vince carter circa 2000. and the fact that t-mac's been laying low for like the past five years while basically being overshadowed by the new crop of young talent in the league has made me truly appreciate his renaissance to the max. battling through injury problems and completely doing a 180 in order to re-adjust your game to suit each and every new and unlikely scenario is what the game is all about. i bet somewhere jeff van gundy is smiling.
and yeah for the last time if the knicks don't cash in high in the draft lottery this summer or make some serious off season moves, we might as well just all call it a day. as long as isiah is running things, that team is going nowhere. fast.
i was going to say something about client 9, but am still mostly at a loss for words. however, i did check out ms. dupre's myspace page and had a listen to her song. if it wasn't so bad i would've considered adding it to my profile since sleazy and bad pop songs combined with scandalous behavior are right up my alley. but what can i say. i do have some standards!
and wow, i can't even begin to explain the craziness that i experienced last weekend. i can just try to sum it up to this. 5 am, park bench, russian punk girls, arak, slummy apartment, self mutilation, blood and knives. and everyone had a blast!
