The Warriors are uppity

By far the biggest story of the first round so far was the Warriors taking out the Mavs in Game 1 of their series, followed by the Warriors emotional implosion in Game 2.

Many will tell you that sums up the GSW team as a whole – immensely talented and equally as unstable.

We prefer to think it’s the Mavs that are the even bigger headcases, and that’s why we shall now label tonight’s Game 3 as our most anticipated matchup of the evening’s many intriguing matchups. (Also taking place – CHI/MIA & TOR/NJN – both well worth watching.)

Anyway, Golden State Head Coach Don Nelson says he’s confused about his team’s lack of composure.

“It doesn’t make any sense to me, as hard as we worked to get to the playoffs, to all of a sudden get there and then not be able to play because of ejections and not controlling our emotions,” Nelson said.

“I want to play with passion, I want to play with emotion. But you have to have respect for authority out there. The referees are the authorities.”

This is so very true, and as we saw in recent weeks, the referees are nothing if not even handed and respectful right back at the players.

At least the refs aren’t the story of the Playoffs so far, as they usually are. Actually, they might be – like we’ve continued to beat you over the head with, we were only able to start watching last night.

And yes, we’ve now seen the LeBron on American Idol video. We have no opinion, other than wondering why he wasn’t actually singing for most of it.

Finally, for a last random turn into nowhere, how is it we’ve linked to MOTTRAM’s empire twice in one post? We really don’t know, to be honest. It’s just like that today. Maybe we’re weak. Maybe we’ve tried so hard to create so many enemies that we now feel a need to reach out and recreate friendships.

And maybe…just maybe…we’re bipolar. Maybe that’s it. And it’s taken us over. It’s all such a sad situation, tinged with just a touch of happiness. It smells like flowers to us. Thanks for having us back.
