Poor Courtney Lee.

It’s so easy to root for the kid. He went to college at Western Kentucky, home of one of our favorite mascots. Then the rookie becomes a critical part of Orlando’s rotation during the regular season, only to have his sinus crushed by a teammate in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Then he makes a miraculous comeback, works his way back into the rotation … and then blows a layup in regulation that would have knotted the Finals at 1-all.

Blake Lively and Leighton Meester

Blake Lively and Leighton Meester

Instead, the Lakers hold on in overtime, take a stranglehold on this series, and we’re suddenly staring down the barrel of three uninterrupted months of, gulp, baseball.

Time to drown our sorrows in a Blake Lively/Leighton Meester ice cream sandwich.

- On a side note, we heartily recommend turning down the sound on ABC’s Game 3 telecast and finding an ESPN Radio affiliate instead. As much as we rip The World Wide Follower, we have to give them props for giving us the color commentary tag team of Hubie Brown and Jack Ramsey. You do have to deal with way too much Tirico on play-by-play, but the two veterans together are a nice treat for hoop fans.

Onward and downward …
