Basketball

I'll be watching both games thanks to my League Pass. With a few nice beers I think.

Jack, maybe you think Jordan was a ball hog too?

At first I thought Kobe's 40 plus streak was phenomenal because he was hitting a high percentage of his shots, and still passing the ball. However after seeing him in action against Seattle the other night, I actually began to laugh at his obvious selfish attempt to prolong the streak by shooting 5 or 6 either off balance or heavily defended shots in the waning minutes of the game. Although, there is absolutely no denying that Bryant has incredible talent.

Jordan is the best to ever walk on a basketball court in my opinion. Six NBA titles, 5 MVP awards, career scoring average around 30 pts. and his career field goal percent around the .500 mark which testifies that not only did he shoot alot, he effectively connected which helped his team out.

I forgive him because he speaks fluent Italian. Why shouldn't he act like an Italian too? Ever see those guys play football? I mean, they could win Oscars.

Bucks lose, basketball sucks.

Actually Milwaukee once again played great on the offensive side. Defensively they were unagressive and ineffective. How can you win games when you score 114 points but give up more than that? The way Milwaukee is playing they could score 150 and still lose the game by ten.

Phoenix looks great, Stepon Marbury and Amarie Stoudemire were unstoppable. Any team from the western conference is hard to beat on any night.

Sonics win big over the Hawks. Chief can we have some more of your players?

Allen and the Sonics beat the lakers by 17 points last night in Key Arena.

Yes I was there.

It was Yabba-Dabba-Delicious.

Another game, another victory for the Seattle SuperBucks. Just one day after beating the Lakers at home, Allen, Lewis, and company defeated the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center making is 5 out of the last 6 games in the W catagory.

Hey maybe I should be a sports writer like that hack Hemingway?

shit. what day is today? Been working so many days I've lost track. If anyone ever looks at the crap.com I work for, you'll see my handiwork in the @#%@^@$ pantyhose size charts I so very lovingly made.
If tomorrow isn't Thursday than I'm not joining pub nite.
Lets all go watch a Sonics game so I can stop being jealous of those who get to do such things.

I think it would be fun to go to a game with you guys...even though I don't know as much about the Sonics as the Sloth, can I come too?

Hemingway, a hack? a Misogynist perhaps, but his writing is like a seventh beer during a night of binging. The first through fourth beer stage is easy going and innocent, like a Dickinson poem. The fifth through eighth beer stage is where Hemingway's writing falls in. By this time you're feeling like an unknown, underappreciated intellectual, spouting out theories on everything from writing to archaeology. It's a wonderful place to be in that five through eight range. Stage nine through fifteen you're in the ranks of Faulkner complexity and you're mind is so strangled and so messed up you don't know if that girl at the end of the bar is eyeing you up because she knows something mischievious about you or if she just wants to ride your tool. So you stare ahead at the beer bottles decoratively lining the shelf above the cash register and think about the Hemingway stage, "ahhh, good place to be," wishing you could rid yourself of Faulknerism and go back to the hack.

Milwaukee lost to Orlando last night after coming off a two game winning streak on the road. Mcgrady slashed Milwaukee for 48 points. Seattle is looking very good right now. Dallas, Minnesota, LA Lakers, Detroit, and Sacramento look like the teams to beat. Milwaukee clings to that 8th playoff spot in the east presently.

That Seattle SuperBucks label has a nice ring to it Sloth. So Seattle is 5-1 with Ray Allen? The Milwaukee Buckonics are 3-4, I believe, with the Seattle cast-aways Gary Payton and Desmond Mason at the helm.
