The Sports Guy offers this succinct analysis of the NBA finals on today's page 2. A good piece that is pretty tough to disagree with, even if he is giving Timmy the business. Thanks to Rodney Rogers being on the Nets, a Wake player will end up with a ring either which way. He is right though, it is not as much fun with out Shaqfu and Kobe (especially the rooting against them part).


Admit it, you never thought you would miss Shaq and Kobe so much. Duncan might be the Most Valuable Player in the league, certainly the first guy you would build a franchise around ... but after watching him for six seasons, should we still worry about his crunch-time nerves like this? Will he ever peak the way Hakeem did in '94 and '95? Will he ever destroy the league for an entire spring, lay his stamp on everyone and everything, and head into the summer thinking to himself, "You know what? There isn't a guy in the league who can stop me."
