The Second Arrangement

GOOD MORNING PEOPLE!! Golden State 132, L.A. Clippers 105 (Warriors up 2-1) The Clippers were told to make Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson work, dammit. Something something something OUR HOUSE something something CHESS PIECE something something NEATLY TRIMMED GOATEE. It didn’t work, nothing worked, the Clippers even let the lead get up to 36 points (to account for the line outside the place) and i...

HELLO ONE AND ALL!! Utah 118, Phoenix 97 Utah’s starting lineup (minus Ricky, still without Derrick Favors and his bum back) sparked a dud, Phoenix ran out to an early lead and even reigned by 13 at one point. Devin Booker left the game with an ankle injury around the same time Donovan Mitchell (29 points) began to develop his wind. Around that same issue, Dragan Bender began to consider the math...

GOOD MORNING PEOPLE!! Portland 122, New Orleans 110 If you are here to figure out why Julius Randle scored 45 against Portland, understand that the Trail Blazers can’t guard your screen and roll and that PDX has a little trouble meeting bodies coming through the rye (at the front of the rim).

Nothing is wrong with the Warriors, either, this was only a basketball game that Boston won handily. The contest did highlight just how f*****g important Klay Thompson is to these Wa...

GOOD MORNING PEOPLE!! Orlando 103, Golden State 96 Basketball has a clock and the game still demands that you work up intelligent output within the clock’s terms. Time’s flat circle even exists within Orlando, a place we’ve all spent a month in (one weekend). Your hometown Magic did not play exceedingly well in this win, but the club’s shots went in and the defense was pointed and accurate enough...

GOOD MORNING PEOPLE!! Golden State 125, Sacramento 123 It’s clear that the break done spoiled these players, pampered these coaches. It’s nearly impossible to spend a long weekend amid the all free towels and room service pot stickers and not develop an attitude of sorts. Dave “Looks Like a James” Joerger had it out with Buddy Hield late in the contest, chafing at his star for missing defensive de...
