LeBroom



Behind the spectacular play of that Frenchman with the American name, the Spurs swept the Cavs and their French-named American superstar, capturing their fourth championship (so far) in the process. Congrats to Tony Parker on his hard-earned and well-deserved Finals MVP.

You just know every player on the Spurs is already becoming laser-focused on finally putting together the back-to-back titles that have eluded them thusfar. It's really the only microscopic flaw in what could only otherwise be described as a true NBA dynasty!

But for now, just smile and wave, boys...just smile and wave.

Winning BUTT-UGLY



I've never been more relieved for a game to finally end. Not because my team won, but because I didn't want to have to sit through another second of that stinking pile of poop disguised as an actual NBA Finals game. It was pure, unmitigated torture. Neither team ever really seemed like they wanted to win, and my favorite player would have been labeled "Gin-0-bili" right here, if not for his three late free throws removing the goose egg from his box score.

There's really no point in analyzing this game, or discussing it any further, than to just let out a huge sigh of relief and hope for LeSweep on Thursday.

Sacre blur!



Tony Parker was truly a flying Frenchman in Game 2, blowing by Cav defenders time and time again for 30 points. After putting up 27 in a similarly electric Game 1 performance, Parker has got to be considered the front-runner for Finals MVP, even though three-time winner Tim Duncan has had two very good games of his own.

This was one of the finest performances the Spurs have ever put forth...at least it was until that absolutely miserable 4th quarter, when the Cavs cut a 27-point lead to as little as eight on several occasions. This near catastrophe will either be the turning point that lets the Cavs back into the series by finally providing them with the confidence they've sorely lacked so far, or will intensify the Spurs resolve to go for the throat and end this series as quickly as possible.

I am certainly hoping for the latter!
