Josh and I are not basketball fans. College nor professional. We just can't get into it.Football? Now don't get us started... we love us some Gator Football. You all probably knew that. ;)
Nevertheless, we found ourselves watching more and more of each Magic game as they moved closer to the Finals. It started with Josh saying he just wanted to see them lose so the games wouldn't be on TV anymore, and we could rejoin our regular shows. That plan didn't work. The scene now includes Josh and I either glued to the TV in our apartment or out somewhere, yelling at the refs, yelling at Kobe (that's mostly me. I'm not a fan.), clapping and smiling when the Magic do something good, telling each player BY NAME that they made a good play, and high-fiving when they win. And, we now get very irritated (read: really mad) when they do something silly and lose.
What happened to us?
This confession comes on the heels of the Magic losing Game 4 in OT, again, on Thursday night. Tonight is Game 5, in which the Lakers could go ahead and wrap this thing up. The way the Magic lost it in the 4th Quarter last game, I wouldn't be surprised if that did happen. But, the Magic seem to have a way of making you believe in them with the way they bounce back, and we're the first ones to admit it. Obviously, since we've been so impressed you could now call us "fans," which beforehand we would NEVER have thought possible.
So here's to the Magic. Please beat big bad elbow-throwing Kobe and the Lakers.
But if this doesn't stop soon, Josh and I may start buying Magic t-shirts.
When does football season start???
Josh, Kim & Abby
I can't wait 'til football! LOL
