WARRIORS BEAT MAVERICKS--103-99; UP 3 TO 2 IN BEST OF SEVEN SERIES!

This is Robert and I at the conclusion of the Warriors huge game 4 victory over the highly-favored Dallas Mavericks. Robert and I have been attending games under various ticket plans and seen a lot of gloriously bad teams get their butts kicked.

We have enjoyed the spectacle of the best athletes in the world and reveled in our suffering of investing emotion in a team that has the worst luck in the league. We are not alone.

The crowd at this game was literally deafening. The Warriors' come-from-behind victory was incredible theater--drama, surprise, humor and the little guys beat the big guys!

This is a picture of Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the Mavericks. He is an arrogant SOB who concludes arguments with lines like "Yes, but how much are you worth?"

A lot less than you, Cuban, but I was ecstatic on Sunday night and you were depressed.
