This is by far my favorite time of year. It’s when boys become men and men are exposed as having hairless scrotums. Speaking of bare nads, Dirk Nowitzki is proving to be a big game stiff, as he’s all but disappeared in this Golden State series. It’s not over yet, but it looks like DWade was right to question his leadership skills. The look on Nowitzki’s face prior to tip-off last night was a pure mixture of nerves and fear. My money is on him hitting the bottle way sooner than last year. Also, I have to say out loud that my New Jersey Nets squad looks pretty damn good, even without their starting center, Nenad Krystic. Why? Two reasons: 1) Because the anorexic Predator, Mikki Moore, has turned out to be a pretty decent player and is serving as a great compliment to The Big Three. Who knew? and 2) Bostjan Nachbar is the real deal and the reason they’re playing Toronto in the first round and not Detroit. He’s earned his 30 minutes per next year.
