GO MAVS

A generous FrontBurnervian (who happens to be also a generous friend) took me to the Mavericks-Sixers game last night at the American Airlines Center. You may have heard: the Mavs won. I had some other observations.

I’ll just throw these out there in no particular order, except they are in the order I wrote them down:

–Humble Billy Hays talks annoying. I wonder if he talks like that all the time. “Yes, I’d like some cheeeeeeese frieeees. And a di-et Cooooooke.”

–I’m sorry you spent $80 or whatever on a Steve Nash Mavs jersey, but you have to keep it in the closet. That’s the risk you take when you buy a nonfranchise player’s jersey.

–Allen Iverson’s legs look skinny in tights.

–How good were our seats? So good you had to crane your neck to look up at the scoreboard. The game is a lot more interesting when you don’t know the score.

–Dirk is good at putting the ball into the basket.

–My friend wanted to be called The Answer in this here blog report. He’s more like The Suggestion. Thankyou. Thankyouverymuch.

–Jerry Stackhouse = chucker.

–Our seats were good, but Don Hill’s were four rows better. Also spotted: Phil Romano, Barry Andrews, and (shocking) Mark Cuban.

–Since when have Ticket drops been used at the AAC? “Oh-kay.”

–Best line of the night: “You don’t see an Asian guy selling cotton candy every day, you know?” What made it the best? It was delivered by an Asian guy who was selling cotton candy.
