so i think i have come to terms with ucla’s loss. number one, i had to. i can’t be wasting any more mental energy on it. number two, the odds are quite high that if kevin love goes pro, he will likely be out here gracing the roster of one our east coast teams … with all the marbles miami is going to have, he may be on the heat, but i would hate to have him suffer under pat riley. (the state of the heat, i SWEAR, is karmic retribution for riley (or shaq) running van gundy outta town …)

better for all of us over here in didionville would be love’s coming to the knicks … if there is any justice in the universe (and we think there is — see previous parenthetical), (1) isiah thomas is out under the leadership of donnie walsh; (2) walsh can keep skeevy james dolan occupied with some vanity projects; and (3) love lands in new york to be a fresh, professional, magnanimous, driven, and talented force coming out of the garden.

of course, walsh will also have to find a coach who can motivate and manage, who knows a few things about labor law, and who can cull talent from the existing roster.

a girl can dream, can’t she?
