... but I just have to make this point.
These are the Eastern Conference standings right now. (The number is games below the leader in the conference.)
1. Boston --
2. Detroit 6.0
3. Orlando 11.0
4. Cleveland17.0
5. Washington19.0
6. Toronto 20.0
7. Philadelphia 20.5
8. Atlanta 25.0
9. New Jersey 26.5
These are the Western Conference standings right now. The top eight guys go to the play-offs.
1. NewOrleans --
2. San Antonio --
3. LA Lakers 0.5
5. Houston 0.5
6. Phoenix 1.5
4. Utah 2.5
7. Dallas 4.5
8. Golden State 5.0
9. Denver 5.5
You guys, the Western Conference is already doing the playoffs. When Phoenix plays Dallas, it is a huge deal; if Dallas wins, it makes a big difference. When Golden State plays Denver, as they do this weekend, it's a huge deal; if Denver wins, they're eighth seed, and if the Warriors win, there put some space between them. There are ten to twelve games left to play in the season, and fuck it, you guys, the playoffs are not going to be half as intense. Because, see, the Eastern and Western conferences don't meet until the finals -- so we're going to have Boston 0) vs Atlanta down 25), and I sense a four-game series there. And over here -- who knows? Who plays whom? We have no idea, because the West plays the West a lot in the next ten games. What happens if Dallas beats New Orleans? If Golden State beats New Orleans? If Utah beats New Orleans? If the Lakers beat New Orleans? Because all of those games are happening in the next two weeks. It is nervewracking liek whoah.
I know y'all are not fannish about sports, but seriously, this is amazing and these are awesome games and I hate it. (My team is the GS Warriors, currently eighth. I also dig the Phoenix Suns, currently sixth. I want to see both of 'em make the playoffs! So I hate it! Except for how it's awesome!)
So I am up late a lot, because my teams play on the 7:30 pm PST schedule fairly frequently. Also, if you IM me most days, you may get a bit of "OMG the Lakers are down at Memphis even though Kobe's already scored 50 points!" and "so there was the worst call EVER in the Warriors-Lakers game last night" and whatever. Just ... think of it as another fandom, and be kind.
Or hey, who knows, I might sucker you in too! I've got some pimping episodes all set up, classic games and some top-ten moments. I've even got a great songvid about Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki for you! They loved each other but then Nash had to leave! No for reals you guys I have that songvid. It's to a Kelly Clarkson song.
