Miracles Happen
No, I'm not talking about all the Reed snow. Although that is pretty amazing, and I'll talk about it when I have a pretty photo or two to show.
I'm talking about basketball again. Sorry. But last night we won! The Trailblazers actually won! Went to see the game at the Rose Garden with Garon, Bryson, Noah and Sarah: Portland Trailblazers versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lebron James was playing for the Cavs; I'm told he's one of the top 5 players in the NBA, and he was pretty damn amazing, and possibly about 8 feet tall. Despite Lebron, Cleveland were never ahead for the whole game, and the Blazers led by about 20 points through the 3rd and 4th quarters to the end. It was most gratifying. They got some amazing 3 pointers, and the Cavs kept missing (something like a 33% shot success rate, ha). Brandon Roy was very good for the Blazers, even though he is very ugly. He always looks half concussed, and has distinct brow ridges. He looks like cro-magnon man, but he can really shoot. The final score was 94 to 71. This was a little annoying because if the Blazers reach 100 points the entire crowd gets a free chalupa, and 94 is tantalisingly close. Not that I wanted a chalupa, but still. Free food is free food.

I've said it once, I'll say it again: basketball's rubbish. It's basically netball for lanky blokes.
(If you're going to watch American sport, at least go for baseball, ice hockey or american football. not basketball.)
Baseball? American football? Are you kidding? In my life, I prefer things that are actually entertaining. Ice hockey I'll give you.
And as someone who was actually forced to play netball, (bloody sexist school system), it ain't the same thing at all. Netball sucks. Basketball rules. That is all.
Urgh, Netball... hours of standing perfectly still and then being forced to swivel like a screw, only to have a rabid PE Techer then bellow "YOU MOVED YOUR FEET: FOOTWORK!!!" into my fragile and feeble ears.
Bah: I spit on Netball...
netball for lanky blokes.
