Indeed. Going back to '64 The-Big-Man-Basketball-god made a plan for hoops in Houston and gave Guy V an insatiable craving for gumbo and the rest is NCAA and NBA history. Coin flips be damned. Winning the lottery in 2002 was a rush for awhile. Then I read more about Yao and I thought... "of course we were going to win that lottery". More rings would've been nice, but The-Big-Man-Basketball-god has his plan and have our legends that stack up well over the last 40+ years. We made history with Dream. Dream made his own history. We made history with Yao. Yao will make his own history. I'm happy with that.
I was certain that God caused Brad Lidge to melt down in the NLCS a few years ago, because he had it out for Houstion (For a while, I really felt this way. I am not kidding). Then I realized I had a problem! Sports had become a bit too important to me, if I really believed God just enjoyed toying with Houston sport's enthuisasts. Hey, I believe that God can intervene for his purposes in any way he wants too. I doubt seriously he cares that much though which city rejoices over a sporting event. And I doubt he needs to intervene in a particular game to carry out his plans in the world. That being said the prayer was obvious joke and I agree God can handle the humor. However, I might have appreciated it more without the one occurrence of profanity. There's enough profanity on this board without linking it to God in any way. There's my soap box for the day!
Guess something else was on the big mans plate tonight. I was so sure during one of those Okur flops I was going to see one of Mutombos elbows right into his Adams Apple! Or a nice Battier knee into Deron Williams tail bone! Even maybe some magic glue on one of our players hands after the freakin missed free-throw where we couldn't grab a freakin rebound!!!!!!!!! Pfft... Almighty beings and their need to put their priorities over mine.
