Tweet Me Back, Jeremy Lin
So Slewis came out to visit last week, and we had a killer time. Just like hanging out in parks, eating food, watching Hart of Dixie, shit like that.
We also paid a visit to Oracle Arena, to watch my local medium-mighty Warriors take on the about-the-same-level-of-mightiness Rockets. They lost, which sucked. But it was ok for a few reasons.
Here are the reasons:
1. Either the Rockets or...

Tweet Me Back, Roy Hibbert
Sup y’all. Today we are tweeting Roy Hibbert. Tomorrow? Nobody knows. I could dissolve back into internet space never to be seen again. Or, like, I could post every day like a good blogger.
Who really knows anymore.
Point is: LOOK AT THIS PUPPY THAT ROY HIBBERT IS GETTING.
Thinking of puppy names for this one. He’ll be here soon! twitter.com/Hoya2aPacer/st…

Hey y’all!
Oh man, remember like a month and a half ago when I SWORE that I wasn’t going to abandon Tweet Me Back, NBA anymore and then I did pretty ok for a week or so and then guess what happened? Correct. I am a HUUUGE abandoner and I abandoned TMBNBA.
I’m sorry. A of all, there is no excuse for blog-abandonment. B of all, here are my excuses.
Excuse # 1: All of my...

Tweet Me Back, Kevin Love!
Really sad news y’all. Kevin Love broke his handy in practice today and is going to be out 4-8 weeks, so he’ll probably miss the beginning of the season. Injuries are always sad (let’s all take this moment to shed a tear for Ray Lewis), even when they happen to someone you super hate, but they are especially sad when they happen to national treasures.
So Slewis and I made...

Tweet Me Back, David Lee!
So I know two posts in the one day (nay, one HOUR) is a little out of character, but I cannot not share this with you.

Tweet Me Back, Paul George
Let’s talk about the photo above, which Paul George just posted to instagram, captioned “Year 3!”
So I realize that in this photo Paul George is probably viciously dunking on Nikola Pekovic, while Roy Hibbert, looks on in disbelief and Andrei Kirilenko observes, bemused.
But I can’t help but think it really looks like something else:

So I have beef with with the NFL’s new uniforms. I know there have been a lot of complaints from players themselves that the new uniforms make them look like they’ve eaten babies, but that is not what I’m beefing about. I’m beefing because Nike, despite its tremendous amount of technology/resources/types of fabric, has yet to solve the most serious NFL uniform problem of...

I’m back! I’m back back back back back! Hopefully this will be my last long absence. My summer of travel/workdeath is finally over, and someone actually asked me in PERSON (Shout out to Alex!) when the blog was coming back, bringing reader-count up to at least 4.

Guys. GUYS. DeShawn Stevenson personally asked for MY advice on a question of utmost importance: what is the best slogan for his new nightclub “Off-Limits?”

I have this theory about Joe Johnson that I would remember/care that he exists five times more effectively if he was named literally any other name. Joe Johnson is really good at basketball, but I always fucking forget about him because his name is Joe Johnson! Ditto Josh Smith and therefore kind of the Hawks in general.
And I’m not saying that you need to be named after a cut of beef...

Last night 60 more young men got added to the list of people I will bother over Twitter. My Lakes grabbed some dude who’s last name is half-Odom, I’m assuming as a personal apology to me for ripping my heart out last fall. And also our very own Mr. Irrelevant, who is tall.

I made a mistake this weekend. I make a lot of mistakes, pretty much all the time, likely because there is something wrong with my brain. Here are some pictures of mistakes I made recently:

When you’ve set a personal goal of getting an NBA Player to tweet you back, and devote an inordinate amount of energy and resources to that goal, you follow a lot of NBA players on Twitter. When you follow a lot of NBA players on Twitter you learn a lot of things that are awesome to know, such as:
1) Which NBA players are friends (or at least which ones go to Vegas together).
2) Which...

So I’ve decided, in a show of solidarity, to only tweet Thunder players for the duration of the finals. Now you could argue that harassing NBA players over Twitter is not a form of support, and I should instead spend the next 2 weeks bothering Heat players. But I’m pretty sure the Thunder know that “pay attention to meeee” is roughly equivalent to “I want you to win...

You guys, I am SO pumped for this finals. Like for reals, I know my team (Lakes) are long gone (god rest their weary souls), but that just makes it possible for me to be pumped, flailing and superexcited rather than constantly nauseous, wincing and generally fraying at the edges. I want to know if there is a point in fandom where you start to enjoy watching your team play again, because...
