Slow spring

Now that college basketball is over for the year, I turn to the methadone that is the NBA playoffs. The Boston-Chicago series sure was something! The Bulls might actually be back on the move up, after it looked like their rebuilding efforts were stalling out. Keep an eye on the offseason movements in Chicago.

As for the rest of the playoffs, well, I don't really care, but I'm always happy to root against the Lakers. But unless the Rockets pull a fast one over the next couple of games, I don't see the Nuggets or Cavs taking them down. But I'll probably root for the Cavs at this point- King James may be the only star in the league that gets more preferential treatment than Kobe.

Soccer has started, but I don't know, I think I've taken too long a break from it. It's hard to get interested. Although I didn't know that a professional women's league had started up again in the US. Evidently US Star Abby Wambach took somebody out on a hard tackle and is getting suspended. Check it out.
