With a last-second (literally) tip-in, the Los Angeles Lakers put away the Oklahoma City Thunder, four games to two, and advanced to the next round of the National Basketball Association playoffs.
Elsewhere, I said the downside of this loss is that an exciting playoff run by a group of committed, hard-working and generally classy young men who have a whole lot of fun playing basketball is now over.
The upside, of course, is that I can now return to ignoring the NBA and its five-step layup, ball-carrying dribble, pro-wrestling contact defense, brutally inadequate officiating imitation of basketball.
Batter up!
(This is also, for what it's worth, my 600th post on this blog.)
