Basketball Rambling

Wife and I are watching the Lakers get worked over by the Rockets. I'm a little concerned about letting Wife watch Laker playoff games because it gets her WAY too riled up in her pregnant state. However, watching her scream at the television is some of the best entertainment in my life. In the energetic way that only she can, over the years Wife has given each Laker player his own nickname:

* Kobe Bryant = Kobes
* Lamar Odem = Odie
* Pau Gasol = Gassy
* Derek Fisher = Fishy Fish
* Jordon Farmar = Mighty Mouse
* Luke Walton = "Luuuke...I am your father."
* Andrew Bynum = Byno or Drew or "The Kid"
* Trevor Ariza = Trev or Scrawny

Many woman refuse to watch sports, but not Wife. I don't think I've ever seen anyone, man or woman, get more passionate about basketball games than her (and that's really saying something given my passion).
