Robert Horry hoists the NBA championship trophy for the San Antonio Spurs.

WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, STEVE NASH AND CO. ARE GONNA GET THEIR ASSES HANDED TO THEM BY THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS. Sure, the Lakers choked big time after that awesome game by Kobe last week (reminds me of the New York Yankees choking against the Boston Red Sox in 2004, unfortunately)...but guess what? Nobody expected the Lakers to reach the playoffs this year, let alone take the Suns to a Game 7. And the "Hallway Series" with the Clippers will have to wait for another year. But much like the Portland Trailblazers and Sacramento Kings before them (and don’t forget the Mavericks), Phoenix is inevitably gonna be yet another great regular season team to end up watching the NBA Finals at home. I guarantee it. C’mon Robert Horry, win that 7th championship ring...

But if you want me to say at least one more bad thing about the Lakers...it’s that they need to get rid of the NBA’s Most Tradeable Player (to hell with the MVP award). Who is this season’s MTP, you ask? You guessed it: Kwame Brown. Assuming the announcement of the sexual assault charge against him prior to Game 5 was what distracted the Lakers and contributed to them losing that game, then you really need to get rid of that guy. God, he pisses me off!! The difference between Kwame’s assault charge and Kobe’s assault charge is that with Kobe you have a very good player obviously doing a very crappy thing. With Kwame you have a very crappy player doing a very crappy thing. Which person are you willing to forgive? Why- The guy wearing No. 8/soon-to-be-No. 24, of course. And Kwame can’t even make freakin’ layups!! Arg... When the Lakers let go of players after this season (so long, Devean George), hopefully KB will be one of them. No... Not that KB. The one who hasn’t won any championships yet. Or ever.

Shawn Marion dunks on Kwame Brown.

UPDATE (May 16): Correction... WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, STEVE NASH AND CO. ARE GONNA GET THEIR ASSES HANDED TO THEM BY THE DALLAS MAVERICKS. Dirk Nowitzki and Co. currently lead the defending NBA champs, 3-1, in the semifinals. Word.

UPDATE #2 (June 3): Good job, Mavs. Word.
