There is an old children’s song that starts out:
This is the song that never ends,
yes it goes on and on my friend….
I thought about this song as I was discussing the 2005 NBA finals with a friend today. Instead, I mentally rewrote the song as:
This is the series that never ends,
yes it goes on and on my friend….
Does the 2005 NBA finals seem to be the longest series ever known to man? What was supposed to be a lesson in the purity of fundamental basketball has turned into four games that were blowouts and decided before the third quarter ended; one game where Tim Duncan could not hit a free throw, missed an easy dunk, and ‘Big Shot Bob’ bailed the Spurs out in overtime; and the last game had Duncan missing free throws and the Pistons on their game to even the series.
I have news for all you NBA fans.
This is the series that will finally end
And it ends tonight. Thank you Lord!!!!!
Then a couple of days of early sleep until Tuesday when the NBA draft is on television. After the draft, the end of Sleepless Season 2005 for I will start to rest.
