    I was watching the halftime show, and they were showing LeBron coming in and playing "Footsteps in the dark" (by the Isley Brothers) and Sage Steele said something about how appropriate that song was considering they were playing the Lakers.

    I wonder if she thought the song was It was a good day instead?

    I'm torturing myself by watching the Cavs/Lakers game.

    The Lakers have turned into a team of Who's who!

    As in, they're the who's who of who the fuck is that?

    I really liked Mitch McGary in this draft. Too bad we couldn't land a late 1st and draft him. Instead our division rivals did...

    Wait, Kevin Love "grew up" in LA and the Lakers are his "home team"?

    Didn't he grow up in Lake Oswego/Portland? I know he was born in that cess pit, but seriously...

    Before today, when has he been good? Why does 1 game say a team was bad for not picking someone? lol.

    And we get to play them before the All Star break. Should be a feel good win going into the break.

    Lakers have nothing to lose. I hate playing against teams that have nothing to lose.

    I don't. I just don't expect a lot. Expectation is a resentment waiting to happen.

    It sounds sad. But it doesn't mean I mope. It just means to not get too high or too low. I have not perfected it, obviously. (Damn internet and the instant gratification and response it allows!) But I try to live by not allowing myself to expect something that may or may not happen. Go with the flow kinda thing. I realize this sounds weird coming from me, but off the internet, it's much easier to employ than the internet. Trust me. lol.

    Damn, King, we done just got deep. Bring it in!

    Did you read the rest? The internet is a hard place to put that into practice.

    In life, it's much easier... well, "easier".
