Ralph Kramden, a NY NBA fan? (Part 5)

[Frank Gannucci]

(The Toronto Raptors beat the Brooklyn Nets 115-113.)

(Ralph & Ed just watched the game in Norton's apartment.)

Ralph: "How about that pal? How about that? The Nets are one lose away from going home."

Ed: "What a shame."

Ralph: "Yes, they could have been one win away from facing the Heat and playing right next to the fun and sun captial of the world, Miami Beach."

(Audience cheers.)

Ed: "The Heat, much like the Raptors look to very tough."

Ralph: "Ah, the Heat will not beat the Nets. The Heat will be all rusty while the Nets will be pumped up after they win game 7."

Ed: "Aren't you looking past the Raptors and Ralph, did you see the Heat clobber the Bobcats? They look to be very tough."

Ralph: "The Raptors got lucky. They are mediocre. The Nets will humilate the Heat and cool them down."

Ed: "I don't know Ralph."

Ralph: "They will suffer from what I call Sweep Syndrome. Meaning if a team sweeps one round, they will greatly lose in the next one due to them being rusty."

Ed: "Oh you think so?"

Ralph: "I know so. My brain is large..." (yells): "DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT!"

Ed: "Well, I hope you are right Ralph. I hope that the Nets win."

Ralph: "Me too."

(They both sing a song about how great the Nets are.)

(Jackie walks on stage. Audience applauds.)

Jackie: "Thank you. The Miami Beach crowds are the BEST! GOOD NIGHT!"

(Audience cheers.)
