1. Saturday, I predicted the Celtics would beat the Cavaliers. I stand by this prediction. It is still Lebron versus the world.
2. The local radio guy was crapping on the NBA playoffs because NBA basketball has turned into an individual sport. Kobe versus Lebron. He blamed Nike and the NBA for deifying Jordan and marketing players instead of teams. I see his point, but I think the great thing about basketball is that it is the most individualistic of the team sports. Lebron can will his team into the 2007 Finals. But Lebron can't win a championship with a non-existent supporting cast. The problem with the NBA playoffs is it is too long. The West Coast games are way too late.
3. Bureaucracies have a hard time with "giving a lot of what costs a little." This is one of their greatest problems. Their rules and procedures get in the way of low-cost things that could improve their constituencys' welfare. Their decisions are consistently based on sustaining the bureaucracy and not low-cost solutions to the problems they face.
