News you already know: Joey Crawford hates the Spurs
Two seconds were left, the Lakers were ahead by two points but it was Spurs ball. The ball was inbounded at half court to a sprinting Brent Barry. The 36-year old guard was hot so he gets the go ahead to shoot.
Derek Fisher, scourge of the Spurs last time the teams met in ‘04, hounds Barry during the possession. The Spur dribbles a couple of steps closer to the arc, makes a pump fake, and creates strong contact as he takes the shot.
It’s hard to be a basketball fan
When I was young, we didn’t get any timely NBA telecasts. And when we did get that infrequent game, it was always Magic versus Larry, or some young player named Michael whose hairline seemed to recede prematurely. Back then, I never thought the NBA had more than four teams! That’s the price you pay when you’re born on the other side of the world.
Sheer chaos in a good way

Welcome to the re-opening of Mike Got Game! I’m Mike, and I love games. What sort of games, you might ask? Webster dictionary defines games broadly as:
An “activity engaged in for diversion or amusement : play: the equipment for a game.”
As you may have noticed, the term has several more meanings than what I’ve listed above, but I’ve decided to focus on what I’ve copied and pasted. Mike Got Game! is about amusement. It’s about stuff that we (or I, in particular) enjoy. I’m referring to topics that I have boundless energy for:
- Video games;
- NBA basketball;
- Gadgets that we guys can’t seem to get enough of.
Perhaps this short list would grow longer, perhaps not. After all, just one of these topics is enough to fill an entire website. Put in two more broad subjects, and you’ve got yourself sheer chaos–in a good way.
