A very good afternoon to you all! This is the first big Sunday thread of the year. I dig it. There will be a lot of these.
Take a swig from your Bloody Mary, mimosa or other weekend-brunch cocktail of choice upon any mention of:
- The Magic-Bird rivalry (downing your whole drink if either one is interviewed),
- Phil Jackson having one more ring than Red Auerbach,
- "Hand down, man down" or "Mama there goes that man,"
- Pau Gasol's "toughness," "physicality" or the absence of same, or
- Kevin Garnett's "intensity."
Let's do it to it, shall we?
