I picked up this gentleman and his wife in Old City around 1pm today. He was one of those front runner Philadelphia fans that doesn't know jack shit about basketball and is clearly along for the ride. He had the Eastern Conference ALLLLL figured out. Here was his plan:
Pax: "Well, we win today, close it out in Toronto, then get some rest before the Eastern Conference Finals. I'm just hoping that Boston and the Bucks beat each other up. If that series ends up going 7 games we'll be on easy street"
Me: "EEEEaasssy buddy. You might want to pump the brakes a bit. 2-1 is nothing and I wouldn't be surprised if Leonard dropped 40 today"
In addition, as we were having this conversation, his wife was on the phone with her son. She told him that she ran into one of his friends but they couldn't figure quite out which one it was. Her description was priceless.
Mrs. Pax: "Ummm, well he was tall, black skinned and his hair was nappy" (After I made eye contact with her in the rear view mirror) "Oh but he was a beautiful man"
Can't make it up...
Sooooo after the Sixers lost and Kawhi dropped 39, I was already a few beverages deep.
I grabbed a piece of scrap paper and on it I wrote "Game 4"
I placed my keys on top of this note and snapped a pic.
Then I reported a "lost item" to Uber and listed the front running pax as the owner.
I'll gladly take the inevitable 1 star :smiles:
