Saying too much

On a cold winter day Phintan Lethert woke up early. It was the last Wednesday of school before winter break. Phintan was extremely tired. He had been up late the night before studying for his exams. Phintan was completely burnt out on school right now. His focus had shifted from getting good grades in school to watching NBA basketball. He was excited to see the Miami Heat play on Christmas day. Phintan had decided that he studied enough for his classes and he decided to coast into the break. Phintan spent the next few days getting his Miami Heat gear. He bought a Chris Bosh jersey even though it has been well established that Chris Bosh has no basketball talent. Phintan could hardly wait for the game. Phintan woke up around noon on Christmas. He was watching basketball all day leading up to the big game. On this day the Miami Heat would play against the L.A. Lakers. This game was set to be, by far, the most over hyped match up of two thoroughly below average teams in sports history. The Miami heat crushed the talentless Lakers and Phintan was thrilled. He thought about that game for the rest of the break. He relived every play numerous times in his head. He had become a bandwagon Heat fan and completely given up on his local team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, realizing that they would never get any talented players and always finish last in the NBA. Phintan came back to school when break ended and starting talking about how the Heat were the best team in the NBA his friends all told him " Wow your team beat the lakers. They might be average but saying they are the best team in the NBA is just saying too much".
