I got an invitation to a cookout/watching party, so I stayed away from the arena. I'm jonesing to go to a playoff game, though. I figure Game Three against the Nashty Boys is a good target!

Truth is, I was pretty confident that the playoffs would extend past this series. If it comes to, say, Game Six against the Suns, or the Spurs, I'm willing to lay down two or three hundred if I can get a primo seat. As the Kings so cruelly proved, the window of opportunity sometimes closes quick, and you have to take advantage when you can.

That said, there is nothing better than a Game Seven--which of course I wouldn't have the opportunity to visit at the AAC unless the Sonics knock off the Spurs or (knock on wood) the Pistons knock off the Heat. In my life I've experienced one of those. I went to Game Seven of the Stars/Avalanche series a few years back. You know, in an odd way that series was a lot like this one. The 'Lanche were top heavy, with Forsberg, Sakic, and Roy. The Stars were deep, and were a blue-collar sort of team. And the seventh game was decided rather quickly. The Stars got ahead 3-0, and the next couple hours were anticlimactic.

Hmm...was that the year the Stars went on to win it all? I forget...
