Crazy Finish

Wow! What an amazing finish to tonight's Laker game. It was probably one of the most exciting finishes to a playoff basketball game I've ever seen.

The last 20 seconds to the game was ridiculous. First Kobe hits a great potential game winning shot with about 12 seconds left. Then TD "threw up" a lucky shot that went STRAIGHT in to the basket leaving .04 ticks on the clock! At this point no one could have imagined that the Spurs would lose tonight.

I always thought that you have to have at least .08 sec in order to do a "catch and shoot". However it wasn't the case apparently, cuz Fish "caught and shot" a decent looking "desperation/prayer" shot up towards the basket and some how it hit nothing but net!



No doubt it was clutch on Fisher's part to even come to get the ball from Payton let along hit the game winning shot. The Spurs couldn't have played any better defense (Kobe was doubled teamed and Shaq was way under that basket) just as Shaq couldn't have done anything more to keep TD from hitting the previous basket.

Anywho, this reminds me that a couple of years ago when Sac and LA went down to game 7 in the Conf. Finals and went into overtime. It was that kind of excitment. Although game 3 of the T-Wolves and Kings series of this year's playoff was just as crazy as any playoff game in recent years.

2-2

I missed tonight's Lakers game AGAIN!!! wahhhh, I've missed the past three games already. Tonight was a mandatory practice session for my presentation. It ran extremely long which made me miss the game again . Well, at least they won tonight. Now the series is tied and momentum is wearing purple and gold!!!

Bad wheels
One of my tires blew out on the freeway last week while I was driving to work. It sucked cuz I had to replace that tire and the opposite one in order to have even tread wear. But while it was getting installed the tire guy showed me that another tire had a big nail in it! They said it would be okay to leave it as long as the tire doesn't leak. Well, hopefully it'll last a while before I have to spend money on tires again . Btw, who is "decline to state" anyways???

Sasser

So apparently this Sasser worm has infected the network at my work this weekend. The program we use at work kept shutting off and logging out today. By this afternoon they just turned those computers off and bascially allowed people to go in and work out for free!

I dunno much about computer viruses but this one supposedly is a virus that spreads by scanning randomly-chosen IP addresses for vulnerable systems. Hopefully it won't "randomly" choose me...it'd be too devastating if it did....

Anywho, I finally finished writing my mom her Mother's Day card (it took me a while cuz I wrote it in chinese...which I have not written in for about ten plus years). Now I just gotta find a box big enough to put her gift in and send it off in the mail soon .

Gmail and other stuff...

Thanks to Ms. Lawyer, I now have gmail yipee! Its working pretty well. I really like the different interface and colorful styles. I'm using it more and more lately .

Ts ts ts...the Lakers were somewhat disappointing today. I didn't get a chance to watch the game but I did listen to it on the radio from the end of the third quarter and on. Seems like they couldn't buy a field goal for the longest time plus the fact Lakers had trouble from the FT line again. I'm not too discouraged though and hopefully they will buckle down next game and produce a better defensive scheme.




I went and got an eye exam today as well. It turns out my vision has gotten slightly better. I also looked at and tried on some new frames. Superman came over later in the evening and we watched Alias. Man! I haven't watched a single episode this whole season until tonight. I really need to catch up and figure out what is going on this season .
