I just got Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West on Blu-ray. Came out today. That will be glorious in Hi-Def on our huge-ass TV. Can't wait to throw that in.
ABOVE: Henry Fonda's piercing baby blues in Once Upon a Time in the West. Oh, and any excuse to post a pic of Claudia Cardinale...
Prediction for the NBA Finals as the first game kicks off tonight. The Dallas Mavericks have been a great underdog story so far, with Dirk playing the best ball of his career and a deep team behind him. This is a better team than the one he had with him in their 2006 Finals appearance (also against Miami). But this is also a better Miami team than the one that beat Dirk in 2006. Miami wins in 6. I hope I am wrong. I dislike the Mavs. But I despise the Heat, especially LeBron and Bosh. Wade is alright. Miami will dominate for several years to come, and it starts this year. I'll say it again: The Mavericks will never win a championship with A. Dirk as their #1 option and/or 2. as long as Mark Cuban is the owner.

No hint about what the new list is?
Without at all getting into predictions (if Miami wins the title, no one's going to be shocked), your two points about the Mavs are silly. A) Do you mean Dirk needs even more support? How would Dirk not be your #1 option? He's 7 feet tall and he's one of the best shooters in the history of the league. In 118 playoff games, he's averaging 26 points and 10 rebounds a game. That's what, a #2 option? B) Cuban might be a jackass sometimes, but he turned a league laughingstock into a perennial contender. Insulting his tenure doesn't make any sense.
Until he wins a title, Dirk will not be able to shake the historic chokes during his tenure. A champiohsip is the only thing that will put 2006 and 2007 to bed. Barkley was also great. So were Stockton and Malone. Dirk will be one of those guys. Always the bridesmaid, but never the bride. Yes, Cuban did turn a laughingstock into a contender. But his meddling gets in the way of finishing the deal.
