Is Prince a T-Wolves fan? If not, he should be. We all know how much he loves basketball...
This past weekend featured NBA playoff basketball the way it oughta be- games every other day- and the Wolves were 1-1 over the weekend, winning Game 5 on Friday night but losing Game 6 at Sacramento on Sunday. But since David Stern for some reason wants every series to have a night to itself for Game 7, we’ve gotta wait three more days before the series ends.
The Lakers await after beating the Spurs in six games, sitting up a potential Old Minneapolis Team vs. New Minneapolis Team West finals. If this series happens, might I make a Kobe Bryant Joke of the Day for each game? Hmm.
Could’ve been worse though; had the Spurs met the Wolves in the finals, we would’ve seen the on-court reunion between Latrell Sprewell and the man he tried to kill a few years ago, Spurs assistant P.J. Carlesimo.
And in news that comes as great news to Wolves fans everywhere- not to mention Wally-loving lady bloggers- Wally Szczerbiak returned from injury to play in Game 6, scoring 12 points in 19 minutes. Speaking of which, Wally’s father, Walter, played basketball at GW in the ‘70s, and I saw his photo on their “Hall of Fame” wall the other day.
Incidentally, after seven straight losing seasons and then seven straight first-round playoff exits, this is the Wolves’ first Game 7 in franchise history. Can they pull it off? Against notorious Game 7 chokers the Kings, I think they can.
