I've been tuned in for the NBA playoffs this year, as I am every year, but especially this time because my team the NY Knicks have made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. The series is now 3-2 in favor of the Indiana Pacers. Last night's game was a must-win for the Knicks, if they lost they would not move on to the NBA Finals which starts next Thursday, June 5, in Oklahoma City.

As often is the case, NakedJen and I are managing the team's space for this playoff season. Emotionally, each of the three series has been very different, with this one being the most stressful, or so it seems, I remember almost nothing from the first and second rounds against Detroit and Boston, respectively. Both are fantastic teams, and I'm proud that the Knicks came out on top in both.

I've been drinking freshly brewed coffee during each of the games to be sure if the Knicks coaches need my advice that I am ready to go. So far they've been handling it on their own. But Jen and I, from our respective living rooms in Utah and New York are standing by if our help should be needed.

This is my voicemail to Jen this morning after getting a chance to gain a little perspective on last night's fantastic win.
