Happy Birthday to Chris Paul.
And to me, me, me!
Another Game 2 Hornets win last night. By 19 points. We watched on TV and ate Rally's hamburgers. Now the team travels to an unfriendly place where we can't carry them on the wings of our crazy basketball-fan love.

Me vs. Hornets.
On May 6th, Tuesday night - aka Game 2 of the Western Division semi finals AND my birthday - I'll be reading at the 1718 Reading Series at the Columns Hotel. It's a (usually) heavily attended reading series that's run by really nice students from Loyola and Tulane who collaborate and pull this monthly event off like champions.

Western Division play.
There's a nicely written opinion piece in the NYT this morning about Byron Scott and how stuff goes-and-comes around. Coach Scott's nothing but class, imo. When Stackhouse trash- talked him last week (before he was named Coach of the Year) and said he's not a good coach, and that anyone would look good on a team with Magic and Kareem, we sort of figured out that he might've been put up to it by Jason Kidd and Brandon Bass (an ex Hornets player who never clicked). Stackhouse's words rattled onto the court. Fucker.
And how stupid is Jason Howard to admit to smoking dope during the summer?
First game is tomorrow night at 9 p.m. I'm nervous, but excited. I really like and fear the Spurs as a team. The Hornets have beaten them twice this year, but S.A. knows how to win a championship. Yikes. So far, no trash talk. Tony Parker called Chris Paul the "head of the snake."

My Hornets.
Confession: I've gotten crazy-attached to our professional basketball team, and they were in first place until they lost the last two games, and Chris Paul looked like he might win MVP until he probably lost to Kobe Bryant, who's never won MVP. (How can that be? Because he's, um, SELFish?) So I haven't wanted to rave about them for fear of jinxing them, but, well, we'll see what happens in the playoffs. They're going to play Dallas instead of the last place team since they slipped out of first. Ugh.
So now you know.
They're also our client, so we have season tickets and go to almost all of the home games.
The shame is that if MVP is about making your team better, about assists and steals and unselfish play, well, Chris Paul is that person. Center, Tyson Chandler says it better.
He had 17 assists for godsakes against the Lakers and they closed up a 30 point gap in the third quarter to one lousy possession.
And, what about Kobe leading the league in technicals? Hmm?
Also, CP3 has my birthday, but he's younger.
