That's whay I'm calling him from now on
Or at least I will try. It’s going to be real tough to stick with when I’m all fired up with his airballs, fouls, turnovers, etc that I might omit the “The” from his name. Whatever.

Looks like the Clips were almost victimized by the D-whistle Saturday night.
I didn’t catch the highlights, but saw this on Clips Nation. I suppose it’s good they won in spite of it….
What the hell is the deal with the officials and this guy?

I saw the Youtube video of that
I just had to laugh. Now he knows how it feels to be victimized, I guess, though this was a regular season game and not the Finals, where it really counts.

Haha it seems we have two options when it comes to the Mavs.

or
2) We never lead only to come back and win the game.
I will take number 2 all the time.
