wednesday april 30

today i watched the raptors game at duffy's across from a guy who was going to great lengths to ensure that everyone in the room recognized that he knew stuff about basketball. near the end of the first quarter, as the raptors brought the ball up the court with a little over 30 seconds left, he began frantically calling for a 2-for-1 opportunity, yelling at greivis vasquez to shoot even when vasquez was 30 feet from the basket with 27 seconds left. after the clock passed 24 seconds, he threw up his hands in disgust, muttering about how dumb the raptors were for missing such a great chance. 10 seconds later, kyle lowry hit a three-pointer.
