Thursday, March 24, 2005Lakers DoneThe Lakers have lost their 7th game in a row. They are now 5.5 games behind the 8th place team (the Nuggets, who they played today) with 14 left. Since, I haven't seriously cared for basketball except for the Lakers in about 10-15 years, that means that I won't pay any attention to the NBA for the rest of the season (barring a miracle Lakers run getting them into the playoffs).
Typically, the time between the Super Bowl and Opening Day are a void for me. Sure, I pay attention to the NCAA Tournament, but I don't really care about it. I start actually looking at NBA games and scores. I look to see who will be in the NHL playoffs. And I glance through Spring Training. Once April hits, though, I am back into sports mode, where baseball season has started, basketball is in the playoffs (although, like I said, only paying attention to the Lakers), and the NHL is in the playoffs. By May, my interest in baseball wanes a little bit as the Lakers have typically gotten deeper and the hockey playoffs become more and more tense. This year, because of the smell the Lakers put off and the NHL's desire to cut its own foot off, however, I will have nothing to seriously sustain my sporting interests except for baseball until August when football-y things start happening again. So, I guess what I am saying is that this is the season for the Angels to start off fantastic (if they repeat last year's first 45 games, we have no problems) so that I don't focus too much hope on a single mediocre team. |
