Default Boris Diaw, Beethoven, and the Suns

The inimitable Bill Walton just said on the broadcast that Beethoven's Third Symphony ushered in the era of Romantic Music (he's right about that...Eroica was indeed a mo-fo) and that Boris Diaw is likewise ushering in the Age of Romanticism in NBA players.

Questions:

1) Have you ever heard an announcer make such an esoteric, yet correct, reference while calling a game?

2) Is Boris Diaw really at the vanguard of a new style of NBA player?

3) Do the Lakers stand any chance of beating the Suns in a series? After all, Kobe scored close to fifty tonight and they still lost their ass.

No, the Lakers don't stand a chance. You need multiple scorers to beat the Suns. Lakers have a better chance against SA.

The Kings would be a better matchup for the Suns....

I think the Kings would have a much better chance of beating the Suns.

But Lakers i dont think have any chance...because Marion can play d on Kobe to slow him down a lil and if Kobe tries to shoot too much it wont work cuz he cant out shoot the suns.

haha, wow, that is a surprisingly apt statement, especially considering that beethoven originally dedicated the third to napoleon bonaparte, another frenchman (sort of).
