While I didn't get a Naz Reid tattoo, at least I got a Naz Reid towel.

I had to miss the last game because of a concert (do not, under any circumstances, go to a concert where Attila is playing. What an embarrassing band. The other bands were good, though) and I'll have to miss tonight's because we're going to Furiosa. It'd be nice to walk out of the theater to better news, although I think my night will be good regardless.
I've watched all the tape. Read an the analysis. My conclusion: Ant and KAT need to play better.
You could get a couple million dollars per year, easy, for that sort of top-level analysis.
I'm already better than Draymond.
Man, set your sights a little higher. Draymond is barely a notch above Stephen A.
My theory on Ant: Hurt his back in G6 of Denver series. Settled for jump shots in G7 of Denver and G1 of Dallas. Started to drive again in G2 but couldn't finish at the rim. Hopefully, he's closer to 100% tonight.
Luis Arraez has played 19 games since being traded to the Padres. His slash line .390/.419/.476/.894
I’d be glad to get out of Miami, too.
I’m bummed the Friars will be on the road when I’m out there this summer.
It blows my mind that the best pure hitter in baseball has been traded twice in two years.
Being able to put the ball anywhere you want only goes so far when the ball rarely makes it over the fence and you can't field.
I'd noticed that he'd climbed from 11th to 3rd best average in the majors since the trade. This is the guy that started out 0-13 to start the season.
My parents briefly met Mrs. Twayn yesterday, while I was up by his fence, interrupting Twayn while he was mowing the back lawn. Apologies for not making proper introductions, Twayn.
I miss not-broken Pablo Lopez.
Maybe this means a Wolves win?

Fingers crossed.
If those two even have an average series, Wolves are up 2-1 right now.
Yeah, I've thought he must have something going on, too
I'm always shocked that someone with a name like Funderburk and hair like that doesn't also have a glorious mustache.
And a good out pitch
Probably because he doesn't have a mustache.
Kody Funderburk was optioned after the game. Corresponding pitching move to come tomorrow.
Ant (0-2) and KAT (0-8) from 3. Can't win with those numbers.
At least Furiosa was good.
My wife and I took our daughter to Furiosa last night. It was good. The first Mad Max movie without a Mad Max character. I though Anya Taylor-Joy was pretty darn good. Chris Hemsworth was a convincing villain. No other characters in the movie were fleshed out whatsoever, but that is typical for these movies. Miller's world building was extensive and the cinematography was incredible. I would slide it in as a top 3 movie in the franchise. I will probably watch it a few more times. It definitely was better entertainment than the Wolves game.
Fury Road is probably my favorite movie in all of ever, so there's no way it was going to top or equal that, bit yeah, it's definitely just a tick below Road Warrior, though maybe future viewings will have me reassess. It was definitely very entertaining with top notch action sequences.
I still have some love for Thunderdome regardless of the Hollywood treatment, but yeah Fury Road was the top.
Thunderdome is great except for the whole lost kids part. Tina Turner was incredible in that movie.

I have an oddly good feeling about tonight’s game.
Oh, man. Lively. Ouch.
KAT has got the yips or something. His shot is not even close to going in
Ant decided to show up.
12 minutes to decide the direction of this series.
And we have the answer.
Minnesota has not finished. Dallas has.
kyrie has been ridiculously good this series.
luka's been flopping all game.
He's also been a killer.
They really need to get rid of the flopping rule of they aren't going to call it.
You gotta appreciate how great he is, however. Just incredible.
He's a great player and really easy to hate. Jokic is a great player and difficult to hate.
Yup.
