Wolves Announcer Box

This is too good to pass up, and kind of sums up the Wolves season, with a little context.

If any of you were ever on college radio, you might remember the announcing buttons. This is a picture of the box sideline announcers use when they are calling a game. One of the buttons is marked "Cough" so that they can hit it briefly to turn off their mic.

The Wolves TV announcers do a great job at filling out the bad games, keeping things exciting, and pointing out constructively what the Wolves could do better. I admire their work...and now their sense of humor. This is a picture of the box they were using (presumably in last night's loss to Houston), with the "Cough" button taped over.

Celtics in ascendence

Huge win by the Celtics over the Spurs tonight. Rondo was ridiculous. As was Ray. And Baby. And Paul. Some serious basketball is being played in Boston right now. Everyone playing together. Ray's shot was stupid tonight. Same with Baby. Glen made this one play where he picked up Tony Parker on a switch at the top of the key, contested Parker as he tried to get into the lane, and then slid off Parker to seal the baseline, and draw a charge on Richard Jefferson. F the Heat, Lakers and all these fake contenders!

On a lighter note, the night before last I had a blast watchin the Grizzlies play the Thunder. . .which feels crazy just typing it. But the Griz are playing very well. Zebo is a friggin beast. Rudy Gay is freak of nature. Marc Gasol can hold it down in the pivot. Conley has settled in at point. Old friend Tony Allen is kicking ass since he has been inserted in as a starter. Look out.

Crazier still I haven't metioned Durant and Westbrook yet, right? Those brother went nut, no doubt. But with Ibaka struggling and Jeff Green undersized at power forward, OKC is weak up front. Memphis killed em inside.
