Wow.

May 28, 2016 Filler

Greetings and salutations, people. Haven’t done a game journal in a while (stole idea from Bill Simmons), so here we go. Lindsey knows I don’t talk to her during my blog and during games like this, so let’s kill two bird with one stone. I can be done both in 2.5 hours. Game 6 just tipped.
It says this is Game 6, but I think we all know this is Game 7 in most respects.
1^st 10:46-Sloppy beginning. Missed shots, awkward plays and Thunder getting all the rebounds.
1^st 10:31-Mr. Thompson sinks a three…good sign for us temporary Warriors fans.
Sorry, I want the Cavs against the Warriors in a rematch.
How did Marv Albert and Chris Webber get this game?
1^st 8:05-Green hits a three, making it 8-7. Truthfully, neither team looks good right now.
1^st 6:58-Curry gets called for a DOUBLE DRIBBLE? Odd looking.
Russell Westbrook sometimes looks so awkward shooting.
Went and got plants today as they make her happy having them. I have to be very clear about the effort and time that is expected of me on the project though. I don’t need the plants.
That Real Madrid match sounded pretty exciting. I forget what I was doing at the time, but I am country as opposed to club so it really wasn’t high on my radar.
1^st 4:41-Timeout by Kerr after a mini Russell Westbrook run. He just did a layup where the athleticism alone probably only ten guys in the NBA could do as effortlessly.
I think I missed Denver Day of Rock for the second year in a row. I miss the oddest things.
They can retire that LeBron James 100% Kia commercial anytime they want. Not buying what they are selling. LeBron is NOT cruising around in a Kia.
1^st 1:01-Weird game. I feel like the Warriors are disjointed and just have hit some three’s, OKC is doing again what they want to, yet the game is only at 3 points difference.
When did Shaun Livingston suddenly think he is offensive option A?
Quarter ends on a sloppy play, and it is 23-20.
You can KEEP making those Arnold Schwarzenegger commercials with the video games.
Lindsey is going out for a late dinner. The little comments and questions every minute or so will now cease and desist. Not sure if she really understands how big of game this is. She is adorable, but just still asks questions during a game. God Bless her.
Just saw a commercial for ELeague. It was on last night and I laughed at it for 20 seconds and got a pic. Then, I changed the nonsense of having announcer analyze and break down gamers during games. Too much, people. Too much. You gamers…rock on.
Back to the game…
Enes Kanter scores and I feel like he would be great in an enactment of a 70’s porn.
Kanter scores AGAIN. Feeding from my porn comments.
Durant gets a tough layup-timeout Warriors. During the timeout, is he just going to ask Thompson and Curry whether they lost their mojo totally or just temporarily?
I think I will take out a pass on the new Rock-Kevin Hart movie. Not even going to rent it.
Watched Deadpool last night. The rumors are true, people. It IS very different than what you think, funny for different reasons, and a good movie for all different reasons.
Girls love him of course, but I love Ryan from the movie that EVERYONE who hasn’t worked in a restaurant HAS to see.
Got to say that if I had cancer, I would consider that option if given to me so Lindsey didn’t have to care for me for the rest of my life.
One more day and Hold the Door is on…yay.
Etsy has a Hodor door stop on their site.
Watch the Jimmy Fallon sketch on Hodor also.
Pretty cool that both Williams sisters advanced today…love the fact Venus is still being competitive.
Reminds me of the question I missed to get on Dream Job on ESPN. I have never told anyone the story and will never tell it. I made it to the top 4 in Denver and lost my mind for 15 seconds. Dammit. Could have been famous. I still will be though. For good or bad, I WILL have my 15 minutes.
That was a long commercial break. Must have given Kerr a little extra time to regroup his guys.
2^nd 9:42-Green takes it to the hole and gets fouled. Like the concept. Get their bigs in foul trouble and don’t rely on three’s IF the shots aren’t falling. 27% means they aren’t falling.
By the way, if you didn’t see the tweet pregame with the Shaq impersonator at the bank, find it online. Funny as hell.
2^nd 8:52-Wow, the Warriors just got a SHOT CLOCK expire. TOTALLY look out of sorts.
Kerr timeout. I sound like a broken record.
They have Jim Beam Apple now? Jim, stop flavoring up bourbon. Bourbon tastes just fine with no funky flavors.
2^nd 7:04-Curry hits a LONG three. Need that.
2^nd 7:00-Roberson scores AGAIN. Even the CU product is getting some action.
2^nd 5:16-WOW, Adams destroys Green on a dunk. Wow, he was far back when he went up. Nice job, mate. Then, Durant comes down and hits a three. Hitting the Warriors all over the place.
2^nd 3:51-Curry loses it out of bounds…just doesn’t seem to have the rhythm or handle right now.
Thompson hits another three-41-34.
TV timeout. When Chris Webber hears that word, do you think he twitches a little?
Went to the grocery store and Safeway FINALLY carries Pumpernickel bread. My lunch sandwiches have changed forever and are back to what they should be. Just was too much effort doing concentric circles at stores finding my bread of choice.
LOVE the bourbon bacon and steak Arby’s commercials…”and a BOTTOM bun?”
I think we have to use a brunch coupon and I think the best deal is bottomless mimosas, so I would be on the lookout for prizes tomorrow.
Or maybe I might give out a few tonight. Feeling a little bit looser…
Bottomless…glad I had a productive day today and plan on having one on Monday also. Tomorrow might be a waste with a little GOT at the end of it.
2^nd 2:52-They just showed Curry’s series stats while he was shooting free throws. Wow, he is off.
2^nd 1:57-This is amazing. Everyone looks like shit from the Warriors, but Klay Thompson has four three’s and they are only down 4.
2^nd 1:33-Adams has made a couple hustle plays and rebounds in the last minute that were really impressive.
2^nd 1:07-Draymond Green just got called for a foul on a free throw shot. Third foul. Not good.
When did Curry start missing free throws? Just missed BOTH.
I think John Isner just likes to play five set matches. He can do whatever he wants. Men’s tennis from the USA right now sucks, so we will take whatever we can from him.
End of half. The Warriors didn’t play their A Game and only down 5 when they were once down 13 earlier. I would say they can’t complain.
I don’t read those TMZ types of sites, but Blake proposed and Gwen said no? There goes that fairy tale relationship. Write another duet, guys.
I love him, I hated her, and now have to like her, but now hate her a little now. I could flow chart it for you. I have seen both live 20 years apart. I rock.
VA Beach for her, Wyoming for him.
After traveling with Patak this week, I am still getting over the constant pop culture references. Dude is amazing. PYT.
Patak, text me my favorite #1 Seinfeld episode by 2am Sunday and get a Torchy’s #4.
Still also getting over his association of glam METAL (inside joke) and how everything is all about “yeah” and “whoa” and “hoo” and other non words.
Poison’s Nothing But A Good Time is a PERFECT example and runs the table at the beginning of the sounds he is referring to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_88L-CU7PD4
I watched the Cavs-Raptors game last night. Went about like we all expected it would. Go get one more big time player, Raptors. We will miss your outside fans though.
Taking a break and grabbing food and a drink. Be right back…
DeMar DeRozan says he wants to stay with the Raptors. Why not? Dude might be lost in other lineups, he is in a cool city, he has enough talent around him to be relevant every playoffs, and NO one knows how long it will take the Lakers to get up and really running again after Kobe soaked up all of their cap space for the last three or so years.
I think of about 98% of the league’s pitchers that I would rather throw behind me than Noah Syndergaard. Batters could die with the way he tosses that thing.
Utley had two home runs, so got appropriate revenge.
Ex-#3 on my man crush list. Now, #11. Older and he sucks a little now.
Bryce Dejean-Jones. More details will come out. But I am so confused. Dude fought through three schools in college, went undrafted, got two ten day contracts, won a job in the starting lineup before getting hurt, and robs a place? He had fought his way all the way to the top playing with the best upcoming star. That story sucks in so many ways but I have so many questions.
The Mets are complaining about the Dodgers using an electronic device for defensive position on plays. I assume it is just the new Samsung Galaxy.
You might be excited for the new Independence Day for different reasons, but I am all about another excuse for Jeff Goldblum jokes.
I am having an Indianapolis 500 party if you are interested. Email me. Catch me on Facebook. See what appetizers you can bring that are LEFT. Listen to my sarcasm on this topic.
Is rubbing still racing in Indy racing?
Seems weird and foreign these days that Spieth is in the lead of a tournament again.
Not only did I predict the Jays to win the World Series and for Tulo to get the MVP, but they are sucking, he is sucking, and now on the DL. Oh well. At least the one time I didn’t pick the Mariners to make noise THEY are doing ok.
They are about to tip. This half of basketball is going to be INCREDIBLE.
3^rd 11:15-Thompson just hit two three pointers to open the second half. Uh oh…lol.
Durant took NINETEEN of the Thunder’s shots in the first half. Chuck is right. Hero ball.
The swagger is suddenly back in the Warriors. Whatever Kerr said worked temporarily. Crowd is actually sitting down in their little Blue Out.
3^rd 9:08-Curry whips a pass down the court after a rebound for a breakaway dunk. Looks more like the Warriors we know.
Oh, this is fun. Durant, Green, Westbrook, Curry, and Durant all just scored. Stars are starting to do their thing.
This is unedited by the way as I am just posting this right after the game. Sorry for any grammatical errors.
There is a lady that is a little too close to the mics. I can hear her in waves.
3^rd 6:48-Adams gets an and one on a strong move. Nice job, mate.
Warriors come back down and another alley-oop to Green.
There are a lot of Royals fans who turned off that game today. I feel bad for them. Personally, since the Bills comeback way back in the day in the playoffs, I don’t turn off anything until it is mathematically impossible.
3^rd 4:12-Little back and forth right now. Roberson, who plays less minutes, somehow just picked up his FIFTH foul…in the third quarter. 74-69.
Definitely don’t support this. You play in this league SO you can have the girl AFTER the game. Dude, your teammates are trying to hug you and you go make out with your girl after a goal??? http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/yannick-carrasco-celebrates-champions-league-final-equa-1779326666
This is one of the many reasons why Deadspin is needed. I just drove through CA. Signs everywhere about it. http://gawker.com/water-scientist-donald-trump-on-how-to-end-californias-1779228841
3^rd 3:03-Listen, Curry just got fouled but LOOKS different in the eyes. I think the Warriors are going to lock in here. I don’t think it will be easy and very glad I have set up camp on my couch, but I think they have the look back.
One thing I love about the Warriors is sometimes Green gets a rebound on NOT a fast break, and they all just let him bring it up.
77-75.
Chris Webber is making a very good point announcing. Russell Westbrook HAS gone from the talented hot headed streaky scorer to being ANYTHING his team needs at the time; facilitator, scorer, leader, etc.
While Bogut is missing these free throws, know that I know my two debts on the board are Vince with a beer and Marty/ Rudy with a breakfast taco.
Hoban is very good than my washed up frat boy Foosball skills, and I have played with Ralph/ Rob. Ralph SAYS he will meet up with us tomorrow. A) He won’t have social drinks outside of work…like ever and B) IF he does, I will be there, because he is going to get SMOKED. Didn’t see anything on our games together to make me think otherwise. Hoban is that tier we hear playing when we jump up and knock on the ceiling of our level.
3^rd :18-Kanter is getting some big rebounds and really making a difference.
3^rd quarter ends. 83-75.
Well, not when I started this thing, and not used to telling him this late, but JJ…pops now.
Bonus pic. That is Patak/ PYT on the right.
Can’t wait for the next Now You See Me 2. Surprised they didn’t get a better tagline than just “2” but I love that smartass dude who played the zombie and the main character in The Social Network. I could look it up, but I would rather be vague.
I think that dude could be on my top ten of dudes I want to get hammered with.
Hey, Woody Paige, you suck and I know more…just saying. I will buy the beers if you want a trivia showdown.
4^th 9:50-Can’t imagine how bad of blowout this would be if Klay Thompson wasn’t keeping them in it. Another three backing up.
Curry still sitting out…interesting.
86-81.
I love my girl to death, but damn it is nicer watching this game without hearing Facebook updates and plans for tomorrow.
4^th 9:08-Curry oddly passes it to Green when typically he would have shot it. Miss, and then Westbrook makes them pay.
Klay Thompson makes another three. Holy Buckets, Batman.
I had to tweet a few things on my mind. I am back. 89-84.
Adams scores, and there have been about 7 offensive rebounds that the Warriors are going to regret tomorrow.
4^th 6:41-Barnes three keeps them close. 91-87.
4^th 5:58-Curry misses a three and Green misses a point blank putback. Then, Green gets called for a foul. Green seems to be the one Warriors player that is a little flustered. That being said, with Bogut not even being able to play half the time because of this free throw shooting %, I guess I would be frustrated also.
Crown Royal has an apple flavored version TOO??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Leave bourbon alone. It tastes great as is, and I need NOTHING new on that front. Happy with the options out there.
Considering the only movie that kind of made me jumpy in the last life besides The Shining was The Conjuring, I might have to catch the second one just to make sure I understand how they ruined THAT movie trilogy.
Coors Light new slogan is “whatever your mountain, climb on???”
How much does Axel make every time Welcome to the Jungle is played near the end of a game?
He looks rougher than when I sang Sweet Child O Mine at my reception with a makeshift mic stand.
Same question on Europe and Ozzie.
Ralph. If you come out tomorrow AND greet me with Hold the Door, I will buy your first beer.
Every time the Warriors get it to 4 or 5, Westbrook or Durant score.
4^th 4:48-Klay Thompson hits basically a half court shot to cut it back to 4.
Commercial, so let’s do some prizes. Ross, text me “high roller” by midnight tonight and get a Tuesday Torchy’s breakfast taco #4.
That picture SERIOUSLY never gets old. Never tell him about the prizes. Otherwise, I will be told to not show this picture anymore.
Cerk, text me the company Decisioneering originally got acquired by 2am Sunday and receive a $1 bill on Tuesday.
Why such a tight timeline, you ask? Because you don’t just need to read this. You need to subscribe and therefore receive blog alerts, and therefore have a shot at prizes. People not subscribing that need to. Ross, Cerk, my mother, Lindsey, etc.
I know I said no editing, but Lindsey came home at 10:15 on a Saturday and said she had to crash. I am 43, and it will be another 15 years before I crash at 10:15 on a Saturday. I should get ribbons for not closing this out and going to Sancho’s.
Yes, my own wife doesn’t subscribe. We haven’t talked about why that is so.
Look out. Just got an idea. Prizes ONLY to subscribers. Hmmmmm. Stay tuned. I could do a random prize every single day for all subscribers. Noted.
4^th 4:13-Warriors just defended well. 97-93. Ball back to them. Got to capitalize. Curry THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Boom goes the dynamite. Here we GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Chris Webber has really become a better announcer. Got to give him mild props.
With me clearing the list tonight, it will be interesting what I talk about tomorrow after bottomless.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 4^th 2:47-Curry literally had his hands ready to shoot after a turnover. Curry hits a three. Tie score. This is REAL, people. Curry has “that look” again.
Matt, if you ever want to visualize how sorry I would be if we had a conversation, watch the scene from Trainwreck at 1:45. Trust me. It will make sense.
I know my brother Matt doesn’t read this ( he doesn’t even follow me on Twitter even though he has less than 20 followers-weird), so let’s go to an actual source. JOSEPH, if you text me USOPEN anytime in the next 7 days, I will send you $20 in the mail…cash.
Joseph, I will make you a better deal. I will just send you $20 bucks each month if you prove to me you got me 100 more followers each month. I care about you and Twitter followers. Deal?
The reason you have to text me that is because I can’t WAIT for the US Open since I totally missed the Masters on my couch.
I think in Trainwreck, the scene with LeBron and Chris Evert, Matthew B,, and Marv Albert is PRICELESS.
I think the dance scene is just ridiculous also of course.
Lindsey meant to buy me a midget cat, but I wouldn’t trade in this cat. He is a boxer.
That is our boxing game. Cat can BOX. I hold my hand on his head and he gets to swipe with nails. I also find out how slow I am that night and make sure I have band aids in the house.
Omar, text me the name of my favorite COLLEGE basketball announcer by 2am Sunday and I will get you a Torchy’s #4 when I pick up Rudy’s.
What’s funny about the Rudy/ Ralph nicknames is that A) people don’t want to engage us WHY we have fake names (because we were special-Omaha) and B) they just start calling us the fake names to eliminate the middle man.
Hey, Zofie. You never read this thing. Text me MY favorite Dodgers guy of all time and I will give you a $1 bill Tuesday. Actually, I will give you a $1 bill if you hit #1 or #2. Zofie did one thing over the week. There is one song that I thought was Traffic that I have heard before that I need to own. I was too proud to ask you and I couldn’t find it on Google. Winwood and the other dude were starting every phrase with “you.” I want to play it on my Roland for Lindsey. Text me THAT song name and artist by 2am Sunday and get a full lunch. But text me it anyway and I will give you a $1 bill. Zofie is too cool for school just so you know…and likes socks.
Such a Bryan picture. #oddbryanwhohatesinteriorlightandismoody
I might write an entire blog about Ohio State football if Ralph shows up tomorrow night at Satellite Bar to get his ass kicked by Hoban.
Text me the name of that song and I will send you a $5 in the mail.
Thompson AGAIN. Warriors are doing their thing. 104-101.
Because I want this to be crazy with readers at some point when I start my networking, let’s go higher up. Bossman Steve, text me “VV” by 2am Sunday and I will buy you a sandwich next week at that fake Quizno’s across the street. My numbers are low this year, but last week basically changed EVERYTHING about my year. I will be changing the game of the company in about 4 months. Changing the game.
104-101. 25 seconds left. And HOW do you foul anyone on the Warriors.
Curry bucket. OKC people have to be SOOOOOOOOOOOO depressed. No freaking way they lose at their crib.
Can’t wait until I figure out on WordPress how to make these journal entries actually LIVE and real time.
Chris, can you figure that out?
I can talk Woody Paige crap All. Long.
106-101. Wow. Anyone who missed this game is an idiot. This was AS ADVERTISED.
I assume Curry will be buying Thompson beers tonight. Expect everyone and their mother are feeding that dude pops.
Hey, Chill. Text me NOT PLAYING GOLF (has to be in all caps) by 2am Sunday and I will give you a $1 bill Tuesday.
Weird. Rojo’s pic pulled up when I googled that. Rojo. Text me “rounders” by 2am Sunday and I will buy you lunch at that shitty Nebraska bar around the corner from us this week.
Game over. Told you. We are getting a Finals rematch. Klay Thompson is the man playing next to THE man. Hope you enjoyed or at least are more informed. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
