Hella Warriors Poetry VI

Do you think warriors got heat?

I know they went to the finals last year, but they’re not all that good now, so Idk what they're up to. All I know is Jimmy Butler's hella tight. 

That's right, outside of the warriors, Jimmy butler and Dame Lillard are like my favorite players. Idk why. It's just like their energy. 

Like remember when Jimmy Butler couldn't find a good cup of coffee at Disney World, so he opened up his own stand, and started selling cups of his own at 20.00 a pop.

You could say basketball is art. It is; I saw this documentary on Juan toscano over the weekend and I hella liked it. He almost didn’t play. He lost interest and had to play in Mexico to get back into it. 

Then he came back and won a fight for a spot in the g-league, and played for them until he played his first game w the warriors against the lakers. Now he's in something like a dual contract.

Confirmed that his number 95 is meant to commemorate what street in Oakland he lived on. Got me, I thought it was for what year his parents moved here, or what year he was born.

The documentary was like six minutes on ig and I loved it. I found it hella inspiring and I highly recommend.

Toscano scored like eight points last saturday against the magic. Robert told me to stop calling them the Magics, bc it’s just Magic. I was like that doesn’t make any sense, without the s, if there’s more than one. 

But I guess magic can be either, out of singular or plural. He said it's both bc it’s just magic. I think there should be a team named after a bug. Like I know there's the hornets, but I mean like lice. Something like the louisianna lice.

Curry was dominant the other night against the cavs, and then what’s his name, Wiggins. But then again curry had him, and every other player on the team by like 20 points, or so, like he’s doing everything right now. Like he’s - I can't remember how everyone else did.  

I know draymond had his career best w like 6 points, 8 rebounds, and 16 assists, and he was hella pissed to see cavs center Andre Drummond seated throughout. Buyouts are usually bad right? Like when it comes to trading players, like if you’re passed the trade deadline, so they just buy you outta your contract?

That's just like saying we don’t want you anymore so much we’ll pay you for nothing, to go away almost, we don't care where, just go. I guess Drummond was gonna go to the nets, when the cavs going w Jarrett Allen fucked that up somehow, so now he doesn’t know what he’s gonna do. And it doesn't seem like the cavs do, or care either.

Their loss, I mean Drummond was their second leading scorer, his replacement Allen cursed out Sexton at the end of the second half over a missed foul call from one of the officials, and they lost the entire game by something like 30 points.

Kevin Durant is taking a couple of games off due to a pulled left hamstring. Wondering which teams have been most affected by covid restrictions and regulations, Nets have had 17 different starting lineups this season, tied w the wizards. 

I remember Gobert of the Utah Jazz giving everyone covid last year, when he gave everyone wet willies, trying to make a point, crazy ass. They've won something like 16 of their last 20 games, they're hella raw right now. W 23-5, they probably have the best record in the league.

Before I get into it, I wanna start by saying I finally released a Super Bowl joke today. 

That's right, it’s hella ridiculous. I was telling Robert and my dad Tom I’m about to get you good, watch, for like five hundred wds.

Hella topical and relevant, it’s a timely piece. I was gonna publish it w another journal, but they do like a pdf, and they dk when it’s coming out, so I had to hit another editor to see if he could get it up by Thursday. 

I was gonna say if he couldn’t I would’ve had to post it here, but he said he could have it up sooner than that, and by that he meant today, so here it is. 

Stop calling Tom Brady the goat on expat lit. 

Also shoutouts to manny for putting this one out there just in the nick of time, thanks again. 

Anyway, I keep thinking what if I interviewed marshawn Lynch about Stephen Curry on my blog? That would be sick, right? That would be tight af.

Curry's still running around, you know? I was gonna say he doesn't care anymore after seeing him score 57 points in their loss to the mavs, but then after seeing them lose to the spurs on Monday I was like nvm, he's pissed. Did you see him kick the air? And who can blame him?

I mean what was Draymond thinking, right? He must've been thinking like I'm gonna save the day. He must've thought someone would try to get him to the line, but no one contested it. No, no one was gonna. Why would they? It's not like it's Curry. It's not like who it was supposed to be.

Different story last night though, w Curry's 32 points, they must've won by something like 20-30. As the oldest living coach in the NBA at 72, Gregg Popavich was popapissed. 

You know Texas has hella basketball teams though; Spurs, Rockets and mavs. But Texas is also hella big. All those places are all like three to four hrs a part. Noticed the spurs must not be in as much high demand as the mavs too, bc their game against the warriors wasn't nationally televised. The mavs made tnt, and abc. Probably cause of that fool Luka. Everyone hella fucks w Luka. 

I was thinking the other day I don’t think doncic drinks, but he probably does shit w weed you couldn’t ever possibly even get your head around. All of them do, right? All athletes, Kansas City Chiefs Safety Tyrann Mathieu showed up to his first practice at LSU in a hotbox, and it wasn't chill. He did time for it. He was doing time when he was drafted.

Speaking of which, Quarterback Patrick Mahommes better get checked out after that game. CTE is so real, and it's even worse for boxers. How do you think Muhammad Ali got parkinsons? As he got older he'd just let opponents beat the shit out of him until they got tired.

I didn't know that. I had no idea until Ladson told me at the superbowl. He also told me shaggy was in the marines. That's right, Mr. Bombastic was in the gulf war. He wrote it wasn't me in a foxhole. 

Watching the nuggets last night, I was like what's the mile high club, and Robert was like it's when you have sex on an airplane, and I was like oh, bc it says mile high on the nuggets jerseys. He was like oh no, that's for the city, mile high city in Denver. That would be a crazy thing to have on your jersey, and I was like yeah, they'd be like I'm sorry but you guys can't name your city after that slogan.
