What started as a good basketball game deteriorated into a dunk fest all over the Maverick's faces. Things started well with Dirk hitting every shot he took in the first, but Denver's defense got to him over the ensuing quarters. My problem with the Mavericks offense stems from Dirk. During one stretch in the 2nd quarter Dirk got the ball on 4-5 straight possessions and failed to make a play. As in Kidd or BarI think he got fouled once and had some free throws, but other than that he looked terrible! The "Bird-man" was terrorizing him today, and Nene threw in a few blocks for good measure. I'm just saying Mavs, you have plenty of scoring options besides Dirk. Terry was shooting lights out for awhile, but he just never got the ball. And I know that no one really likes Dampier, but he's still your center who can throw it down if he's fed down low. Please give me more JJ Barea as well. 6 feet of awesome! 23 minutes just isn't enough!
Dirk has maaaany problems with the D. He got awfully vocal about it all and was letting the refs hear it a few times. He was on the border several times, even the broadcasters (gasp) noticed it. I prefer my own, in house, broadcaster. According to my roommate Brian "He's the only player in the NBA who wouldn't have gotten a technical for that!!" as well as "Anyone else would have been thrown out if they did that!"
Away from basketball for now. I watched episode 3 of "Parks and Recreation". I have to say it's getting better. Amy Poehler couldn't have annoyed me more the first two episodes, but things are looking up now. I still think it's a cheap knockoff of The Office to try and milk everything they can off that genre. Segway! British "The Office" is coming to Adult Swim. I like the boss in Parks and Recreation as well as Tom. They had a humorous back and forth about online Scrabble during episode 3. In fact, I might continue watching the series just so I can hear the funny things Ron Swanson has to say. Tom's also and I have a long standing man crush on his comedy. I fell in love with Aziz Ansari back when he was doing Human Giant on MTV; then he moved to Scrubs and life was glorious...then he got off Scrubs and life was no longer glorious...but now he's back!
You guys know the Mini Sirloin burgers from Jack in the Box? Well maybe you just know the song. I'm here to let you know they aren't that great. Sirloin as a burger just wasn't meant to be. Do yourself a favor and do like Ryan...go to White Castle...or maybe Krystal Burger. Same idea...better taste.
Astros win! Berkman, Pence, and Lee all contributed and the bullpen kept the Braves out of it for the final innings. Inching closer to .500 boys.
