Missing NBA in Russia

The great Michael Jordan made me an NBA spectator, and the athleticism and prowess of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James keeps me coming back. Alas, the 11 hour time difference with the West Coast makes NBA games an early morning exercise in Moscow - and a privilege and a pleasure to be missed.

This year's NBA playoffs are proving to be rather exciting, and the mighty Los Angeles Lakers are poised to win the championship one more time. Regrettably, my Tivo and Sling Media devices are on a ship somewhere, making a delayed or remote viewing impossible this year. I will have to miss most, if not all, of the championship games this year.

For those who are curious, here are the top 5 plays of Game 6 between the Lakers and the Suns. Game 6 was a closer for the Lakers and they are off to the championships.
