Things That Are Inevitable

First inevitable thing, the Lakers will beat the Spurs tonight at Staples Center.

Second inevitable thing, right next door at Nokia Theater, David Archuleta will beat David Cook in the American Idol Finale.

Third inevitable thing, the Downtown LA traffic nightmare to compare all subsequent traffic nightmares is happening right now with both those events happening at the same place at the same time combined with those events starting at the peak of evening rush hour.

Great planning folks!

UPDATE: D'oh!

I was only 1-2 on these predictions. LA Lakers won, even after trailing 65-45 with 5:39 left in the 3rd quarter. They outscored San Antonio 44-20 in the final 17:39 of the game. Kobe had 4 points before that point, finished the game with 27. San Antonio wasted a great effort by Tim Duncan who had 30 points and 18 boards.

Your newest American Idol is David Cook, didn't see that one coming, figured the little singing monchhichi (soooo soft and cud di leeee) would win it for sure.

And as far as the traffic, wasn't that bad, guess anyone going to the events took the day off, and everyone else knew to avoid the area. Sort of like the gridlock fears during the 84 Olympics that never materialized. Businesses had flexible schedules, and trucks were banned during rush hour, instead of a nightmare, it was the easiest commutes of the last 30 years.

Glad I was right about the Lakers, don't care that I was wrong about the rest.

Looks like the books are being cooker for a retro Lakers vs Celtics final. Thank God we still have crooked refs.
