You know I love everything that you write because it’s the TURTH. I would rather hear the truth from a FAN than from some other cat who think he knows what he’s talking about. Thank you for every piece that you’ve ever written on Beans and thank you for the pieces that are to come.

All MJs and Pippens hard work wnet down the drain.

Oh well my bulls may end up being the Boston Redsox.

Curse of the MJ!!!!

Been riding them since they made the trade for KG. Everybody except for Mizzo thought I was crazy.

Also what is knew with the celts not being favored in a series. Only series that I know that folks expect them to win was the ATL series.

Yeah they are struggling in the playoffs, but big deal so did the first lakers championship team (2000 playoffs) with Shaq and Kobe.

Lakers will win games one (then everyone in the media will scream doom and gloom, cause phil is 40-0 win winning the first game of a series). But the celtics will steal a game in LA (to ensure that they win 3 games on the road in this years playoffs) and go back to Boston done 3-2. They win the last 2 at boston.

So Celts in 7.

Now I am torn in this series. One I would like Garnett to win for all those years he has put in. A adopted chicago kid (in us chicago folks eyes) and a player who wasn’t considered the second best PF in the league (even though Duncan is a Center, but I will call him a PF) cause Dirk was making the playoffs every year becuase he had a better surrounding cast. Plus I would love for him to win so that these fools in Dallas can have sleepless nights knowing they could have had Garnett for super soft Dork….ummm I mean Dirk. (even kobe for dirk this past summer) Plus a brother like doc rivers could get some credit. These good ole boys in the media make it seem as though he can’t even tie his shoe.

At the same time I would love for Kobe to win just to rub it in the medias face. All those folks who said he couldn’t do it. All those folks who said he was selfish and still guilty because of what happened in colo. Same with those ignorant hate filled fans who will be rooting against him because of what happened in Colo (cause you’ll probably know some folks who will be rooting against him cause they still think he got away with rape).

D@MN I wish Garnett could have went to the lakers. Kobe and Garnett…..Dang!!!

Anyway the last time when I didn’t care what team would win and was rooting for both teams was when the bears played the colts. The fact that 2 brothers had a chance to be the superbowl winning coach was all that mattered to me.

Anyway I might have to put something on this. Messed around and didn’t put anything on the Pats and Giants………even though I picked the giants man.

Anyway whats the over under on how many games luke walton or rajon rondo will cost their respective teams!!!LOL!!!

I say luke 3 games and Rondo 2!!!!

Go Lake Show.

I think its easy for a lot of us to take the safe approach in choosing the lakers as the favorite in the nba finals and look at the game through the eyes of their widely criticized and fearless leader. But I grew up a basketball purist and I want to be the first to say I don’t think the lakers can get done. I think we underestimate what this one time historical all white blue collar team now represents as an all Black franchise with a Black coach. Just as Kobe is praised for his great work ethic and obsession of trying to get out of the MJ shadow. Trust me when I say that there are other dudes that work just as hard that don’t get no pub that want it just as bad. And they go by the name of the “Boston 3 Party.” Yes Mr. Shuttlesworth has been struggling and its easy for us to say KG is to unselfish, but all this franchise has done all year is excel and achieve. They have done nothing but defy the odds and all the critics without the assistance of the bogus calls of the referees. I think it was a little harsh to say that KG is only focused. That man puts his team and his dreams on his back every night. And I know its easy to love anyone who doesn’t have a Kobe Bryant personality, because honestly thats why a lot of us don’t like him as a person. But he is not the only one who has recently arrived or uses his inner-demons fuel his car. They all play the same game with the same socks and the same shoe laces. They all grew up at the park spending long nights at the office dreaming of this one moment. You dam right its all about the intangibles. Their bench is as good, and as deep in young players, and talent as the lake show. Pound for pound the lakes are more impressive but a lot of them dudes real rap is kinda soft. I close by saying in Paul we trust. He has not let us down yet and I will not go without giving that man the proper pub and respect. To tell the “Truth” that man is a problem. He put the book bag on and went to school on Bron Bron and Detroit. And the good part about his game besides the fact he attacks the rim as fearless as Kobe is he also plays D.

~Everything that make sense on paper does not materialize the way in which it should. Ask my man Mr. Big shot and the rest of those 2004 NBA Champions who arguably beat one of the most impressive laker teams I have seen in my halfa tenure

Always a pleasure,
