Too bad network television doesn’t broadcast the Lake Show in New York City.

9:20 – Trek to Omonia Cafe in Astoria to catch what’s left of the game with my brother, Keegs.

9:44 – After mass confusion with the service staff, they help me find TNT, and duh, the Lake-uhs.

9:45 – Chucky (Charles Barkley) just popped up on the screen. His mouth is moving, but I can’t hear what he’s saying over the music. No biggy, the dude never says anything intelligent anyways. I’m only obsessed with him, because he is a living, breathing sound bite.

9:50 – After Nascar commercials and shots of Steve Nash getting some practice shots in during the half, I’m seriously wondering if Turner Network Television doesn’t realize who their audience is. Red-blooded Americans don’t watch the Lakers, and while they might watch the Suns (Hello, immigration law?), after the whole “Los Suns” jersey-escapade, it’s not likely.

9:54 – Reggie Miller is hot, and not that anyone is surprised, but with the music playing too loud to hear the Chucky and the gang are saying, I find watching them on television wayyyy more entertaining.
