Everbody Beats The Wiz
If you try to take it, I got a big shillelagh
I don't have dreads cause I shave my head daily...
The Nuggets returned home last night and beat the lowly Washington Wizards. A few thoughts, insights, and SG observations from the game:
-That was the flattest the Nugs have looked in a long time. Fifth game in seven nights, near the season's end, with a handful of your key players on the bench, and everyone looking forward to Nene's St Paddy's Party (he makes the meanest Corned Beef.) Not one player brought any energy to the game. Even Steve Hess was caught napping on the bench (he was dreaming about squating 700 pounds.) Just one of those games in an 82 game schedule that you have to work extra hard to even want to play.
-Malik Allen: great player in his role right now at about 8-10 minutes, grab a few boards, hack a few big men on the other team. But Malik needs a makeover. I had to check the roster to make sure he wasn't pushing 50. That guy shows up at your door, do you say "damn, an NBA player is at my house!' Or do you say, "cool, the DirecTV repair man is here."
-What the hell is going on with Mike Miller? Long shorts, tights under them, mid-top shoes, and ankle socks. Yo Mike, you playing in the NBA or taking a bike ride in Moab?
-Did anyone else see the dude in the red Nugs' shirt sitting caddy corner (Mrs Commish has always insisted it is "kitty corner" not "caddy corner." Seriously, what do either of them mean? Did someone live perpendicular to a house full of stray cats or a bunch of Tiger Woods'pimps caddies in the day? I've heard other people say it is "catty" corner which also is a name of a movie I watched at my bachelor party) from the Nuggets bench? Holy crap, best white man's afro I've ever seen.
-The Wizards still have the worst logo in all professional sports (MLS and NHL don't count because how can you make an inspired logo for a team called the Lightning? I'm pretty sure it'll have to include, well, lightning, and there isn't too much artistic license with that.) Did Vance Johnson in 1986 design that logo? I know the old Wiz owner was an anti-gun advocate, and DC is a violence-plauged area, but time to go back to the Bullets moniker. If you can wear them for throwback night, just go full time. The old school hands reaching for the ball looks like the Good Times painting.
-Washington coach Flip Saunders just looked like he wanted to get straight on a plane and punch his GM in the face. A decent coach who signed on with a team with a strong nucleus of Antwan Jamison, Caron Butler, and Gilbert Arenas at the year's outset. Plus, he's a grown man named 'Flip'.

they should change the name to the Washington Generals
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kitty-corner
I don't see anything in there about "caddy corner"
!!!
Catty or Kitty corner is the correct term. Catty corner is our basterdized English version stemming from the french 'Quatre' obviously referring to the 4 sides of a square.
So +1 for Mrs. Commish.
