Soul Wednesdays
It’s playoff time–posting will be light. We will just have to accept this. Sure, I could’ve indulged my pretensions, but I was busy watching Phil Jackson finally break down and give Jordan Farmar and Shannon Brown the minutes they deserve. Winning by 40 is nice, but if you can’t beat an enervated Rockets squad sans McGrady and Yao, not only do you not deserve to win a championship, you don’t deserve to coach a team of seven year-olds at the local YMCA–probably the only players Fisher can guard right now.
Part celebration, part contrite offering, I present Magic Johnson, Norm Nixon, Don Cornelius, and the Soul Train dancers jiving to Earth Wind & Fire. Also attached are three outstanding neo-soul cuts currently earning burn around my solitary apartment, that may or may not contain a chicken. You’ll like them, I promise. Deep funky grooves that even Kurt Rambis could get down to (no Kool and the Gang.)

Jeff, I feel you–the NBA playoffs are epic this year. With Denver and Orlando hovering in the wings, things could get veeeeery interesting before it’s all over. And how long before street justice catches up with Mark Cuban? Who does he think he is, Bill Laimbeer?

“From the South Bay to the Valley,
From the West Side to the East Side,
Everybody’s very happy
‘Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day.
I love LA.”
(The song is ironic, I know this. But still!)
