My nicotine patch for getting me through the withdrawal is the NBA playoffs. On a whole, they have been spectacular! Of course, everyone loved it when the Celtics swept the hated Nets. And, of course, everyone here hated it when those Celtics beat the Bulls. But now, the Celtics are embroiled in an epic showdown with the Bucks. Some say it's too close to call. I predict the Bucks will prevail. Giannis will not be denied.
If you hear about the outcome on cable, it's okay to call me. I'll probably already know, but I put that in the category of important news.
