Ripped
I knew that the Suns were in trouble when Doug Collins announced that Richard Hamilton only had 9 points midway through the 4th quarter. Sure enough, it was another slow fade into oblivion. Five games into the season, and I'm already tired of hearing about how the Suns are this close to being undefeated. The fact is that even in the games they've won, they've gone limp in the 4th quarter. They are not a three-dimensional team right now, and their opponents lie in wait like snakes, only our Rikki Tikki Tavi had knee surgery in September.
Talk about pulling a literary metaphor out of your ass.
Yesterday I spent 15 minutes with my son talking about whether or not monkeys could drive cars. When we concluded that, in fact, they could, but only if the cars were powered by cheese, I watched him imitate a car-driving monkey for a while. Later, we watched a Muppet Show episode where the guest star was Harvey Korman. My brainswashing program is working.
