Carolina Fever

So first of all, I have to give it up to Carolina tonight for playing a pretty inspired game against #2 Dook.  Despite the loss, this team never gave up and never stopped trying, like many of their predecessors would have.

If you’re a Carolina fan, didn’t it make you kinda sick to see Sean May and Raymond Felton in the stands in their street clothes, that last year of eligibility crumpled up on the floor like last week’s coupon set from the Sunday paper?  Sad times.

Jigga thinks I’ve been reading too much of ESPN 2′s Bill Simmons, and he’s right, but I kept having this fantasy during the second half of the game.  I wanted it to get down to like two minutes left in the game, Carolina down by 7, things are looking grim, and then all of the sudden Busta Rhymes’ “Put Your Hand Where My Eyes Can See” starts pumping on the loud speaker during a timeout.  Billy Packer turns to Tim Brando and says, “Why, that’s Sean May’s music!!!” 

Meanwhile, Sean tears off his shirt to reveal the #42 jersey underneath, and steps on to the court.  Sean reminds Sheldon Williams who his daddy is, and starts slamming guys heads into the backstop and knocking them out.  Then Carolina reels off 12 unanswered points, and the Heels win the game by 5.  Good times. 

Oh well, that will be enough fantasy for the night.  Congrats to the Heels on a well fought game.  Hopefully you can build on what you learned tonight and pull off the upset in Cameron next month.
