DREAM A LITTLE DREAM
TheBigO

Like Big Lou, I was just dreaming a little dream.

Picture this.

It's the last day of the season. The Kings, having already been assured of their #1 seed for the playoffs, are resting the majority of their key guys. However, their opponent on this night happens to be the Utah Jazz who are fighting for their playoff lives.

The Jazz put up quite a fight, yet the Kings manage to scrape out one last win. Poetic justice rules the night as team that rebuked an impudent and youthful Kings team in their first season as more than an NBA punchline is swept away by a grown up version of that fun n gun squad.

But wait, there's more. . .

Meanwhile, the suprising Warriors continued their improvement and are now in place to supplant the Jazz as the eighth seed in the playoffs. All they need is to win this last game.

And in miraculous fashion they do. A last second teardrop runner from the littlest man on the court Earl Boykins assures the victory. Who does he hit this shot over to pull his team into the postseason?

Shaquille O'Neal and his Laker brethren whose miserable season never quite gets on track, leaving them as the only former champ without any key personnel changes to not make the playoffs the subsequent year.

Will it happen? Not in a million years. But if it did . . .
