Upset
So at about, say, the beginning of the basketball season. I picked the Dallas Mavericks to win the NBA championship.
It wasn’t a statement I would make lightly either. I was very confident that Dallas had the puzzle pieces they needed to avoid another meltdown (like in last year's Finals).
I was wrong.
Dallas lost, badly, to Golden State. A team I wouldn’t have picked for a playoff spot two months ago.
Then Utah beat the favored Houston in a game that was extremely difficult for me to watch.
Then Steve Nash almost broke his nose on the Frenchman's head.
And now I don’t know what’s going to happen.
Which is incredible.

That game was so incredibly awesome.
We were all watching it at a sports-bar type joint, and jumping up and down and screaming whenever the Jazz scored. Everybody else must have been like "Wtf?" because they were all watching the Fight.
Boozer = Money.
ESPN seems to think that Golden State is favored to win.
All I know is that the Jazz winning means my beer and hot dog consumption is going to be way up over the next couple of weeks.
