Lottery Pick Only A Stones Throw Away

VS

In getting this thing going I've been neglecting some of my testicular duties towards the Lady Friend. She's been hella supportive and I thank her for still getting down with me even though I fall asleep with the computer on my lap most nights. But Ive come to the conclusion that if we are gonna do a good job of keeping you updated on all that is the D and other trashy news worldwide, then I need to bring on help.

Introducing my boy, MarcUM. I met this guy on a patio deck in Maine and we bonded over our love of Todd Jones, no joke. I have no idea what he does for work, in fact I don't think he does any, so that should give him plenty of time to get you inside Joe D's head. I do know that he still rocks it in A2 and he is the perfect guy to help me keep my finger on the pulse of the city. Shit ain't easy to do from 700 miles away. So pull out your teal Grant Hill jersey and your Jerome Williams knee-highs cause MarcUM is your new Stones writer.

Man, DVR really saved my ass last night. I had to choose between watching the Huskies reunion party at the Palace or the State of the Union and I went with Barack. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those poli-sci nuts that creams their pants every time Obama speaks. I just hate feeling like a jackass when everyone else on the planet has something to talk about the next day.

But DVR really saved me by letting me watch that game in fast forward, which is pretty much what I did for the second and third quarters. Don’t take that as a cop out, it was just obvious that Zach Randolph was going to keep bitch slapping every Detroit defender on the offensive glass. You could just tell that the 5 point lead the Grizzlies had was too much, no matter how efficiently our offense played.

And the offense did play efficiently. Hamilton and Stuckey had 21 assists between the two of them, and Big Ben and Maxiell combined for 26 points after only averaging 5 apiece on the year. But those efforts tend to get wasted when you’re 15-29.

The only thing more frustrating than the game was hearing Greg Kelser talk about making a second half run at a playoff spot. Yeah, that’s what this team needs. Lets work our way out of a lottery pick so that we can get dick slapped by LeBron or the Celtics in the first round. Fuck that noise.
