How Seriously Should we Take Orlando? Part II: Electric Boogaloo

I was going to post this in the comments of Adam's post, but we don't have enough readers for that type of behavior yet. Anyway, while we were both three stories above sea level this past weekend, JoaquinPhoenixSuns told me that this blog needed less words, more turds (well he said "videos" instead of "turds"), so 'ere you go:



Yeah, so many things. Clearly, the slo-mo Jason Williams is the winner here, but also: That bouncy line dancing, Gortat's between-the-legs Euro dunk contest entry, J.J. Redick's very very earnest double-clutch and, most epically, Matt Barnes attempting the low-percentage pass to Mini Sly (he's got stone hands). Just in case you weren't sure how much you liked this team.

Round 2 Coming Attractions: Orlando-Atlanta

We here at No Regard love our stories. And the playoffs are where each narrative strand that was teased in the regular season is shredded or affirmed. So, here are the second round series as we see them. Some of them are late; so was Kanye's second album, and you used to love his blog. Thank you.

The Hawks. Are the worst. As (like I've mentioned and you've noticed) we're not always on time with these things, I'm writing this after game one of this series. The Hawks lost by 43 points after letting an undermanned Milwaukee team take them to seven games. Because they are the worst. I'm a Nets fan, so I know what bad is; I know what gutless looks like. And this is it. So, if they're not going to try, neither am I. Fire Mike Woodson now, before the playoffs end. Send a message. Or not. Who cares.
