It's trash-talking time

It feels good to talk trash again.

I'm a former Timberwolves fan. You could call me a fair-weather fan, but really, I mean, after awhile, it's just a little tough to support a team that almost NEVER wins.

I miss the days of sitting in the Target Center nosebleed seats and swapping boos and hisses with Lakers fans as Kobe and Shaq battled it out with KG and Wally.

The Wolves have become dead to me. In fact, the team's performance over the last couple of years actually resulted in me not watching much NBA basketball at all. But that's changed now. I have Celtics fever. And I really feel like this is KG's year.

So bring it on, Lakers fans. I'm ready to talk some trash. Here, I'll start things off: The only reason the Lakers won Game 3 on Tuesday was because the Celtics weren't in the mood to see Kobe cry.

I wonder if KG, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce were in the mood to look at Kobe's NBA World Champion rings?
I think he has one for each of them.

By the way, that comment was simply for the love of trash talking. I am a big fan of KG and would love to see him win a championship.

I'd like to see KG get his ring too. Ray Allen as well.

The NBA playoffs this year have been very entertaining. Maybe they are fixed?

I hate to trash-talk the Celtics, but I can't help but thinking about how they could have been having a celebratory parade in Boston today instead of having to review tape and practice for Game 6.
Oh, well. Kobe and Co. are still going D-O-W-N.

If your boy KG could make a fourth-quarter free throw the Celtics might have already won.

But KG and the crew will get their rings in Game 6.

I know! As much loyalty as I feel for KG, that's always been my issue with him. That and the fact that he takes risky 3-point shots instead of driving to the basket.

The Big Ticket finally gets his championship ring. Oo-rah.

Although something tells me KG has been watching Rocky movies recently.

KG's press conference at the game.
"I have to say, other than my kid being born, this is the happiest day of my life."

Rocky after beating Apollo Creed in their epic rematch. (Use your slow, Philly accent and kind of yell it).
"I just want to say one thing, with the exception of my kid being, born, this is the the greatest night of my life."

This is well-deserved. Congrats KG, too bad this didn't happen in a Wolves uniform.

Wooo! That's about the only blowout game I've ever seen that was actually fun to watch all the way through to the end.
