Good vs. Evil.
Humans vs. Robots.
The followup to a huge cliffhanger about the nature of existence, the deep and tantalizing question of who we really are and what we want to become.
Two stars collide on your television tonight.
I’m talking about the Hornets breezing into Cleveland tonight, where the Cavs are 19-0 on the season, in a nationally televised game on ESPN, right?
Sigh.
Y’all. This is a very serious crisis. The final season premiere of Battlestar Galactica is tonight at 9 PM. But the Hornets play the Cavaliers at 7 PM.
Of course I’m going to DVR the show and watch the game. I was always going to record the show and watch the game. Even though I have been watching the show longer than I have been watching the NBA. You know I have loyalty to the Hornets… Except I just read today that a character who’s been on the show since the miniseries is going to die, and they might reveal the final Cylon. Guys, they finally found Earth in last year’s finale. Only it was a nuclear wasteland. And then that’s how it ended. Oh my gods. HOW CAN I NOT WATCH THIS SHOW?
I decided the reasonable thing is to look at what’s at stake tonight. The Battlestar Galactica premiere may answer some of our questions about the future! Or, it may raise more questions than it answers! We don’t know what’s going to happen. It may set the stage for the rest of the season, for all that comes after! It’s important.
But the same things can be said about Hornets/Cavs. Crap!
Sometimes I guess you have to make a choice about what is more important. But all I’m saying is, if they even closeup on LeBron clapping chalk, I’m gonna flip to SciFi. I’m JUST SAYING.
I think we all suspect, after Wednesday’s casually superhuman performance, who the final Cylon’s going to turn out to be anyway…

Totally irrelevent, but I am uber pissed off about the talk for MVP right now. Kobe, and Lebron sure they should be in the top three(maby even dwight howard), but Dwayne Wade? You have got to be S&i%ing me! Chris Paul Has 4 tripple doubles and came close to having a Legendary Quadurple-double. Dwayne Wade is Number one in total TurnOvers and nuber 2 in turnovers per 48min. How can you even conisider him with such a huge blemish. I just don’t get it.
No, that’s relevant. Talking about MVP rather than Battlestar the day of the LeBron game is totally related. CP’s having, what, a better numerical season than last year, and dragging his team as far as he can with him, and he’s not on that short list? Ridiculous.
I recently read that Wade turnover stat and was like, “Ouch!” myself.
It also helps to return from being out the better part of the year and make your team a playoff bound team when they were a joke the year prior without you.
I don’t think it’s wrong to have Wade in the MVP talk… he IS a turnover machine, yes – but you can’t argue his worth to the the team. Wade is healthy and the Heat have improved considerably. Who shouldn’t be in the MVP talk? Kobe… at least not in the top three or four. Yeah, yeah, he’s Kobe – he’s insanely good as always. But he plays on a team that is very well rounded in terms of talent and thus his value to his team is less than that of CP3 and Lebron. For me… it’s basically between those two guys. Dwight Howard and Dwayne Wade are next (in either order)… and then Kobe.
I think Kobe should absolutely be in the talk. I still say he is hands down the best player in the game. The only question is who is the most valuable. I’d say CP. Then Kobe. Then Wade. Then Lebron. Then Howard. Then Duncan. But that’s just me.
HOrnets losing by 15 at halftime… it’s a sad game so far… hopefully they can pick it up in the second half and play better defense.
The Hornets did not even have the grace to lose AFTER 10:05… so now I have to wait 20 minutes for my freakin show to be over so I can watch it.
Oh, and while we were down 19 points, I fell over the cat’s stupid ass scratching pole and I think I rebroke my broken toe.
THANKS HORNETS. (I still love you, though. Free JuJu)
P.S.
I forgive the Hornets. The show was money like fresh post-nuclear dollar bills. I don’t even remember losing to the Cavs, my mind is that blown.
P.P.S. CP, Wade, LeBron, Kobe, in my book.
Duncan, CP, LeBron, Kobe, Dwight, Kevin Durant, the kid from Degrassi, then Wade.
Logically I love CP3 but he’s third easily, first of all James has a bunch of nobodies helping him win and carries much of the load therefore earning the title as MVP. Nobody thought Cleveland would be this good, and anyone who says otherwise(even clevelands fans) is lying. Second I would say Dwight Howard because again it’s about team record and how dominant he has become. Few players would want to be driving to the basket with Howard waiting for them. CP has done more with his team than bryant or wade so should be third, he has less to work with. I am not saying there is no talent I am saying the talent is not producing as they should and Paul is the one getting the victories by taking over games. So lets be honest with ourselves and see the facts, nobody thought cleveland would be first in the east, or the league for that matter I figured they’d be fighting for fourth or fifth spot so it deserves some recognition. Just as nobody thought Orlando would be second in the league just dominating teams left and right.
My thing is CP creates by either scoring or assisting something ridiculous like 52-54% of the Hornets’ points. I hate to see that overlooked because the Hornets aren’t higher than 6th best team in the NBA right now. I want to see Wade get credit because of how ABYSMALLY awful they were last year and how they’re not as bad now that he’s back. But LeBron really is putting up CP godlike numbers each night too, and not just points. So I guess he’s over pure points guys on the list. And wow, did we make a whole bunch of the Cavs scrubs look good last night, so the team definitely has less star power.
LeBron, CP, Wade, Kobe, Dwight? It’s such a crapshoot anyway.
Thought I should mention:
Julian Wright: 1 min, 2 pts on 1for 1 shooting.
FREE JUJU!
I would like to thank my work for allowing me to miss that game. It’s like it never happened.
But a win in Motown puts us at 2-1 on the road trip. Not bad, all things considered.
