Game Thread # 28 -- @ New Orleans

by sungo on Dec 23, 2006 5:37 PM CST in Game Threads

Holy crap the weather in San Antonio has been absolutely retarded today. Windy, rainy, even a couple dabs of hail here and there. Perfect weather to do last minute Christmas shopping in! Oh, and it's always nice when your sister's Jeep Liberty decides to lose traction while making a 15 degree turn at 20 miles an hour. It happened on an entrance from an access road onto I-10 (so thankfully no oncoming traffic and grass on both sides). My mom freaked out, my sister immediately (and I mean immediately) went into "help us Jesus mode" and I... well, I did my best. I didn't do anything stupid like slamming on the brakes, but we still ended up in the grass, but we didn't hit anything and I kept all four wheels on the ground at all times. Still scary as all hell.

I guess you could say we were fortunate.

And you guys are fortunate, too, because I am sitting at my parents' table and piggy-backing off some neighbor's wireless internet! So here's your open thread for tonight's game against NO in Oklahoma City. David West, Bobby Jackson and Peja are all out with, well, one would think injuries.

Let's hope the Spurs play better tonight because last night was absolutely dreadful to watch.

Contest standings haven't been updated in forever. I am going to do that right now and will post them ASAP. Here are tonight's lines:

Los Angeles Clippers @ Houston: HOU -7
San Antonio @ New Orleans (in OKC): NO +9

Thoughts, fake wagers, suggestions for ways to handle tailspins? Post away.

I don't care if I go fake broke. I'm going to live and die with this stupid team.

121 on the spurs.

Also, I had to go to work at this stupid job once for the graveyard shift once and I drove over some black ice or something and my car did a 810.

I don't believe even James White has pulled that off yet.

I came very close to hitting the rail and would have been obliterated by oncoming traffic if anybody else was dumb enough to be driving at 11 pm under such horrendous conditions in California, when we're totally clueless about how to do so.

Instead I just started whistling like Homer Simpson did the time when he was going down the basement, fell down a bunch of stairs, and then started whistling again.

If you must know one thing about me, above all else, know this: I am a horrible, horrible driver. And the more people are in the car with me, the worse I get, at a geometric rate.

P.S. It would be funny to me if I drove a Geo Metro after writing geometric, but alas, I do not.

I have to say I did not know "geometric rate" is synonymous with "exponential rate." I used to think I was a good driver, but I am no longer sure about that.

220 on the Spurs.

P.S. The Chiefs to win and cover. Booyah.

Nice to see that the non-big three shot 7 for 29 and scored a grand total of 20 points. Barry: 1 shot in 28 minutes. Maybe he was nervous to play in front of his brother.

121 on the Rockets.
