Tree-mendous game! Although I chose Detroit in the Pick and Roll game, I have no vested interest in who wins and I was actually rooting for the Nets because you're one of the few real people I know who cares who wins. 
That was about 8:55 this morning. I thought you were around, and I think I asked on the baseball thread. When you didn't answer right away, i figured you were gone, so i just deleted it.
Unbelievable game. Shades of two years ago, first round against the Pacers. Nets up by three, Jefferson misses two foul shots, Reggie Miller hits a miracle 3 pointer, Nets win in double overtime.
"Veal" (really his nickname) Scalabrine was amazing. He's kind of the team mascot, and a fan favorite. His first two years he got virtually no significant minutes. This year, with injuries to K Mart and Rogers, he got some.
The fans love him. As soon as it's garbage time, they start chanting "Scala-Brine, clap-clap, clap clap clap. I'm gonna be there tomorrow, the building should be rocking, and we're gonna start a Scalabrine chant as soon as theam hits the floor.
And it's funny. My son and the guy who sits behind us are the only real people
I know who care if they win or not.
