Hickson had to take off on his left foot, since Maggette's head was underneath his right foot. Because Hickson went up awkwardly, and it showed when he didn't finish.
A couple random thoughts from the rafters of Oracle Arena:
*Wally didn'embarrass himself offensively, but Maggette had his way with him defensively. I'm really starting to wonder who Wally CAN match up with defensively.
*Without Z we were forced to play small ball against the master, but Hickson impressed the home crowd. One guy sitting near me said something like: "LeBron's supporting cast sucks. Wallace... Varejao... none of them can score enough to get minutes on this team." I turned and laughed in his face.
*My friends I showed up with are all Warriors fans, so when LeBron would miss a shot, they would stare right at me and chant: "O-ver-at-ed." I would then rean over and whisper to each, individualy: "When I look back at this moment, I will laugh, and laugh, and laugh." I said it when the Cavs were down ten. I said it when Monta threw down a nasty dunk. I said it when Captain Jack nailed those two clutch mid-range shots for a one point lead.
And when LeBron deflated the rawdy, playoff-calibur crowd - well, what could I do but remind everyone that it was time to laugh, and laugh, and laugh. Great experience.
