Ohohoy!

You cannot really fault Mr. A for his botched forecast that the Boston Celtics would repeat as NBA champions. Predicting the outcome of anything is a nasty business and beneficiaries of such prophecies are equally put in a bad light, as if being the favorite was a curse.  Just ask Adam Lambert.

If anything, Mr. A proves to be semi-psychic for getting it right insofar as who the season MVP would be. How he figured it would be LeBron’s year and at the same time came to the conclusion that the Celtics would still be ahead of the Cavs in the end is, well, beyond my analytical reach.  

Everything is beside the point now.  The real story of the season — and the playoffs for that matter — is my numero uno fantasy draft pick Dwight Howard.  He is the reason why KG and company is now out of it and his Orlando Magic, as we speak, is one win shy of spoiling the Kobe-LeBron Show that has been brewing all season long. Superman is fast turning out to be the Lex Luthor of NBA fanboys, Mr. A included.

Around this time of every year my favorite online forum hosts or, shall we say, tolerates a thread that features images of NBA teams AFTER they have been eliminated in the playoffs. The site is worth signing up for if only for “The Official Gone Fishin Thread,” from where I got the images below.  

Who will be next to join them?
