Upset ? Or Not ?
Probably it's very unhealthy thing for me to watch NBA Western Conference Playoff Rd 1. I wasn't going to watch them, but just see the results of Western Conference I click the remote and check the TNT. Well, it's "Western Conference" They just started and end up watching them. right now San Antonio Spurs just got beat by Denver Nuggets. Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies are up and down, showing very athletic game. now "What went wrong with my T-Wolves ? " Sadly nobody knows. yes we all can blame Sam & Spree's lack of enthusiasm, but when I watch these Playoff Teams, I think T-Wolves are simply got outplayed by the other teams. I still believe T-Wolves have well balanced talent and is experienced teams in the NBA, but if you don't play the game with your best effort, easily you get beat by not so great teams like Atlanta, Toront , Charlotte or early Chicago. adn you can't win the game by one or two man. it is team game. everybody suppose to bring your A game. Great team with enthusiasm for the game(like Chicago Bulls in late 90's), alomost never lose the game against those losing teams. but my T-wolves let that happened. not only once or twice, as far as I know, 10 games.
now what is the association with Anwar from American Idol ? my opinion is, he exposed his weakness each week and he got caught by the trap that he created by himself. Do you see where I'm going with this(I hope so ...)? Technically best singer doesn't mean you can win the game. You are in the tournament. Like Final 4. if you can't bring your best everytime, you will get beat. especially Anwar totally showed he can't groove and ride with up tempo song. last 2~3 weeks. I had feeling Anwar is going to lose if he doesn't bring his best for the rest of the competition, but man, I didn't see this coming ! Now I have no clue who's going to win. right now Bo, Carrie and Constantine are touch ahead from the other three, but like my T-wolves. anything could happen. Genre of music and choice of the song will change the number of the votes. Upset ? or mabe NOT!
