One Quick Thing About the Lakers/Cavaliers Game
It’s obvious that the Lakers are the best team in the league right now, and that’s without Bynum. Sweeps over the Cavs and Celtics prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt. Of course, their kryptonite is Orlando. A very strong inside attack is a problem for the Lakers, but you knew that.
Thing I’ve Been Wrestling with Since Last Night
Is it worse for the Hornets that they can barely beat Minnesota when they don’t have Chris Paul? Or is it worse for Minnesota can’t beat the Hornets even though they didn’t have Chris Paul?
My first thought was, “geez, the Hornets supporting cast is barely better than the Timberwolves.” But then I thought, “geez, the Timberwolves aren’t good if they can’t beat this bad of a team.” Then I thought, “geez, why do you think the word ‘geez’ so much?” My answer: it’s worse for the Hornets since they’re supposed to be contenders.
Thing I Need Your Opinion On
I had a men’s league game yesterday. The team we played was talking trash the whole time, and I just went about my Pau Gasolish business. We were up by 15 with about 40 seconds left when I got fouled for some reason. I went to the free throw line and sunk my first one. For the second one I did this:
Most of the crowd was laughing, WHICH WAS THE POINT. But, I definitely heard the other team saying, “how’s he gonna be disrespecting us looking like Luke Walton’s dad?”
Here’s where I need help; was this “disrespectful?” In my mind, I’m taking the piss out of people caring so much about a men’s league, plus they’d been chippy the whole game. I’m not too worried about it, but I’d like a ruling.
Thing That Makes My Wife Awesome
While discussing Valentine’s Day plans (DON’T FORGET) she said, “let’s do something during the day so we can be back for the Dunk Contest.”
