Last night's episode of the The Office was brilliant. I haven't laughed that hard since Wednesday, when I watched Monday's episode of How I Met Your Mother. (That episode, by the way, was the best episode I've seen of the show.
Ted: Marshall, I can't marry you
Marshall: Why not?
Ted: Because I marry someone I've had a farting contest with.
My life has been consumed by powers that I don't really feel like posting about. At least not now. Work, school, fun, and planning for the future. The details - I'll go into more at another time. Though in real life, it's a staple of mine to declare outrageous proclamations (usually for shock or to get a cheap laugh), I don't want to get burned, especially on the "planning for the future" item. As always, I'm going to focus on trivial things.
What the heck is up with the Warriors??? They should be up 2-0. I'm a little down on them, but I haven't jumped off the bandwagon quite yet. I still think they'll be able to even up the series at home. How sweet would it be if the Warriors played the Suns in the Western Conference Finals? First one to 200 points wins the game.
Dirk Nowitzki's going to add 'NBA Regular Season MVP' to his resume? You've got to be kidding me! I made a comment on ESPN a few weeks ago about how stupid the definition of the NBA MVP is. I'm not going to get into that today. It's ridiculous that Dirk would win the MVP. He's the best player on the best team in the NBA. Big fuckin' whoop. Dirk doesn't make that team great - their system does. Their style of play is the brain child of Avery Johnson. Dirk is merely a cog (admittedly, probably their best cog) in a system good enough to win 67 games. One standard argument people like to use is, "Take Dirk off that team and how many games do they win?" I'd say, "45." "Dirk's worth 22 games then, right?" If you take Kobe or LeBron off their teams, both of those teams are headed to the lottery. Nash, who I think should be the MVP, he's a whole different kind of beast. Unlike Dirk, Steve Nash is the system. He's not a cog in the machine - he's engineering the damn machine. (Some people think the Suns are talented enough to win 45 games without Steve Nash. In my opinion, that's a load of crap. Nash makes every player on that team better.) So, in the final analysis, the MVP should have been LaDainian Tomlinson.
