The intro to my roundup posts have started to become sports commentary. Which is fine by me because I was a sports fan before I became anything else. Looks like this Finals will be as exciting as last year. A memorable Game 1 with the A/C not working and everyone having to suffer through the heat. Kind of surprised they played the game since basketball players aren’t used to playing professionally with those temperatures but it was a great game. Ginobili and Duncan both played great games, and that needs to continue for them to have a chance to win. And here are some great posts for the week:
