Four on the floor...

1. It's inevitable -- the Celtics are going to the NBA Finals! We've known this since game 5 of the LeBron series. Even worse, there's a 70 percent chance they will win the finals (against the Lakers). It just further proves the NBA season is a total joke. Two of the Big Three (foul-mouthed phony KG and the formerly fat Pee Pee) mailed in their effort over the 82 game slate. The other one (Ray Allen) tried hard, but does not have the legs for a full season. And the way Rondo is playing, it is now a Big Four. Sheeet...this sucks.

2. Two is > One! Unbelievable last night as the 76ers shot up from the 6th spot in the lotto all the way up to number two. And this is not shades of 1993 when the Sixers had the second pick and had to reach for Shawn Bradley as C-Webb went number one. At number two this year, the Sixers will undoubtedly take Ohio State star Evan Turner. The 6'7" junior swingman was the consensus Player of the Year last season, averaging 20 points, 9 boards and 6 assists. He will definitely be a good NBA player. Greatness will depend on his outside shot (44 percent on treys as a sophomore, only 36 percent as a junior). Hopefully, his arrival will be celebrated by the trading of overpaid (and average skilled) Andre Iguodala. One more Shawn Bradley thing: We knew it was all over when we read a scouting report on him when he came out of BYU. It said he was a "good athlete...in fact, he rides horses." Seriously, how great is that?!?

3. Your Phillies got rained out last night! That means The Playmaker's pitching debut will have to wait until Friday night. (Starting this week kids get to pitch the first three innings.) When asked if he wanted to start the game, The Playmaker replied, "I want to be like Contreras and close." We damn near wept tears of joy.

4. What the hell is going on with Friday Night Lights?!? It has always been Our Favorite Show. And we realize that kids can't "stay" in high school forever. But here's a thought: When starting a show about HS kids, make 'em all sophomores! That way you get 'em for (at least) three years. How hard is that to figure out?!? This season's new characters seem weak. And why do they not show more revealing shots of Coach Taylor's wife Tami?!? Y-U-M-M-Y. Anyway, for the past three seasons we were convinced after a few shows that 24 was going to be terrible. Of course, it always ended up being great. We can only hope for the same from FNL.
