Let’s hope last night’s Laker wipe-out by the Houston Rockets was caused by Kobe Bryant’s sore throat, but it sure looked like a more serious problem than that. Anyway, the less said about that, the better. Wait ’til Wednesday! (David Thomson stop grinning.)
Meanwhile, on a more serious matter (what’s sports, after all?… a distraction), check out my review of my colleague Andrew Klavan’s new book in the Washington Times. It’d be a good Fourth of July present (or whatever) for the high school student in your family/circle.

1. Promoguy:I’m not a big BB fan until it gets into the playoffs. Last night at the end of the game they did an interview with Ming, and I was amazed that the guy spoke with less of an accent then I thought he would have had.

Opps, look like Roger may have a sore wroth.

What could possibly be more important than the Rockets beating the Lakers? They key to the series may be the development of point guard Aaron Brooks. He has the unfortunate habit of being inconsistent. Brooks might need another year of experience. But if he truly is ready now—the Rockets should win the championship. We will see.
