Don't forget the NBA

We are at the best part of the year in terms of sports. College football is still going strong (including MSU), the NFL, World Series (if you even care, I only do if I like one of the teams, so I'm not very interested this year), and the NBA. That's right, the NBA starts tonight! The Pistons play their first game Wednesday against the Pacers. I don't get to watch too many of the games here in Texas, but I will be following the team closely. I'm excited to see some of the young guys get more playing time (Amir and Stuckey) and see how Curry works out as a new coach, could be a good year. One other Stuckey note... check this out:

If you didn't know that's Stuckey on the left and 50 cent on the right.





Let's just say I hope when Stuckey went in for his NBA physical he didn't have like twenty bullet holes to explain.(Click here if you didn't catch that and know that you must be even whiter than me) Please tell you see this... (feel free to back me up in the comments). I don't want to be the white guy who thinks all people of minorities look the same as other people of that minority.

So anyway, the point is I'm excited for the NBA season and for MSU. Without wanting to jinx my boys, I think there's a real shot MSU finishes the season 9-3 and goes to a real bowl game. I'm liking the Mark Dantonio era so far, he seems to have cut down on the number of typical MSU bonehead mistakes/penalties and kept us from giving up too many fourth quarter leads. I was especially pleased by this , I won't gloat too much. I'll leave that to other fans in East Lansing. As a State fan I'm realistic, I don't ask too much so Saturday was quite nice.
*Update*
Here are some other photos since I'm already getting comments that the last two didn't show the resemblance. One encouraging thing I found was a picture putting these two side by side. I would have posted it but it was tiny, but at least I'm not the only person who has thought this. So see if these help. I'm surprised I'm having a hard time finding good pictures of these guys.

Spacing sucks on this one, I worked on it as long as I felt like and couldn't make it look better. Oh well.

Sorry, I don't see it. Maybe in a different picture?

DON"T CARE? It's the PHILLIES! How could you not care! WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should have seen Matt's face through out the game. Go PHILLIES!

Slick said...

I'm glad for Matt, but I've never even been to Philly so I have no real connection to it or its teams... so yeah don't really care about it.

I think there is a little bit of resemblance between the two. I am happy for Philly. Their sports teams really suck. Make that sucked. If our teams in MI went that long without winning then our state would turn into a NASCAR state I am affraid:( I would then have to move to another state or Canada. So Philly I am happy for you. Especially because your little cousins from the west part of the state win titles a lot. Penquins, Steelers and Heinz Catchup is the best invention of the modern era. SO at least you have a World Series to celebrate now. Before that I am afraid it was just Philly cheese steak and cream cheese on the list of Philly winners.
