On the road today, so no time for blogging shenanigans. That is, until you all start paying me to do this (I’m lookin’ at you, Shrugz! If hip-hop’s taught me anything, it’s that anyone who can afford to use a “z” purely for ceremony must have a couple million set aside. Get on it.)
The All-Star Hangover finally dissipated, Disneyland’s newest superheroes up-up-and away themselves into town. SuperChild, the $110 Million Dollar Man, and the Turkish Delight are hot off a big win against the Pistons last night, and the Magic are young enough to build off that momentum rather than be gased by their effort.
The Caped Crusader only scored 8 points and 8 boards which led ever-critical coach Stan Van Gardengnome to this comment:
“Dwight had eight points and eight rebounds, and there’s been other nights when he’s gone 20-20, but this might have been his best game of the season,” he said. “In the third quarter, he made it virtually impossible for Detroit to get any offense going inside. He changed every shot.”
After reading that, THANK GOD we don’t have any inside offense for him to thwart. Since we only take jump shots, this ingenious strategy by Mitchell should negate Dwight’s impact on the defensive end. Of course, he’ll probably grab 10 offensive boards and destroy us that way, but hey, little victories.
The Dwight Howard Experience is never a pleasant one for the opposing team. Of course, if the Kapono Situation can go off in the wake of his 3-pt. bukkake, then maybe we can steal a W against the best road team in the NBA (it’s true).
Will be PVR’ing. Please, no spoiler emails (you know who you are).
