THE CELTICS ARE STILL GOOD
11.05.08
In somewhat surprising news, sporting events occurred last night. And no, I’m not talking about Rangers-Islanders. Or any hockey, really. Sorry. There was actually a slate of what appeared to be entertaining NBA games. As entertaining as early-season NBA gets, anyway.
So, now that I’ve sufficiently built up the excitement: the Celtics went to Houston, where the Big Three beat out the New Big Three, thanks mostly to Ray Allen’s 29 points and Ron Artest’s horrible, horrible shooting. Ron-Ron made just three of 16 shots, and took an astounding ten three-pointers. The Celts won, 103-99.
Elsewhere in the NBA: The Suns shot a blistering 63% from the field in their 114-86 rout of New Jersey, making 13 of their 14 shots in the second quarter, while the Nets countered with a 3-of-20 effort in their nine-point 4th quarter… Woo-hoo! The Spurs suck! San Antonio fell to 0-3 at the hands of the Mavericks, who were led by Dirk Nowitzki’s 30 points and Jason Terry’s 29. Just another 7 months of the NBA season to go!

This is the new national sport under Obama.
Ahhh…even if our nation is getting ready to go to hell in a handbasket, at least the Spurs suck.

Uff, be prepared, I think that Jim Jones will be challenging you to a duel any second now. He demands satisfaction, you know.
There aren’t entertaining NBA games until the playoffs. Entertaining NBA QUARTERS(namely the 4th, when the overpaid millionaire cry babys decide to wake up and earn their paycheque), yes, but not GAMES.
If Basketball was played on skates, MAYBE it might be interesting. Or if they, y’know, followed their own rules and called travelling and the like.
