What kind of jerkoff boss makes his employees work on New Years Eve? I mean, come on! After Victoria’s Day, April 20th, Lost’s season premiere, and my birthday, NYE is right up there with the holiest of holidays. And except for waiters, bar staff, public transport workers, cab drivers, police, firefighters, emergency workers, telephone operators,…
Spurs Spurs Spurs Spurs! (dun dun dun dun dun dun) Spurs Spurs Spurs Spurs! So we crawl out from under our collective holiday hangovers for the basketball equivalent of David vs. Goliath, only if David was an Afro Spanish/Slovenian half-giant with mini dreads. Nobody likes playing against San Antonio, let alone IN Texas, three days…
But you know who probably isn’t? Merry Christmas, coach Yellsalot!! (DiNote: We’re not crying for Scotty. I’m willing to bet $100 this guy wins a championship within the decade.)
Forgive me loyal reader for taking a week long break. I regret to inform my Gooner brethren that I will not be providing highlights for this week’s Premier League fixtures at Portsmouth and Everton but I am sure The Arsenal will prevail. Footy Tube does end up having them eventually but of course they’re simply…
Toronto Raptors 103, Phoenix Suns 122 I can deal with this loss because I wasn’t expecting us to win, if we can’t beat Seattle we definitely won’t be able to beat Phoenix the day after. That would be like finishing Drake’s Fortune on the Hard level right after you got your ass handed to you…
…and still not over it. The Sonics? THE SONICS?!? Man, glad I only got to watch snippets of that one. Stupid sexy Sonics. They’re officially off my ‘feel bad for them because they’re doomed’ list (is it lonely being alone Minnesota?). Fortunately, they’re still on my ‘feel bad for them because they employ Chris Wilcox…
Toronto Raptors 115, Seattle Sonics We lose the one fucking game that everybody thought we could win on this roadtrip. The Sonics who are 12 games under .500 and one of the worst teams in the NBA look like the ’85-86 Boston Celtics and punish the Raptors for a 123-115 win. Yeah, that’s right, they…
Clippers, Blazers, Sonics. Reads like a 3-0 swing. But unless I can get my time machine to work (should’ve sprung for the Home Depot installation), we’ll have to settle for 2-1 in a best case scenario. The worst case, however, is much worse than 1-2. It’s a message to Phoenix, San Antonio, and Houston: “We’re…
Toronto Raptors 96, Portland Trailblazers 101 This one hurt real bad. It hurt bad because we had a chance to win it and should have won it. We shot ourselves in the foot by playing bad fourth quarter defense and not putting our best players on the court at the right time. The momentum of…
“It was one of those nights you just wanted to end.” – Doug Smith That last quarter dragged on worse than a Hollywood awards show, made worse because there weren’t even hot actresses to distract me (though I’m confident Dan Dickau could pass for Maggie Gyllenhaal in the right light). I was dozing off on…
Toronto Raptors 80, LA Clippers 77 I love these West coast games, no better way to spend a late night watching the Raptors, drinking tea and eating almonds until blisters start popping on the roof of your mouth. Who cares if it’s 1:30AM and that you have a FT job to go to, I might…
