Great Exercises in Internet NBA-Related Postings: 8.23.08
Hardwood Paroxysm — ... Dubs fans should learn is "The storm clouds are gathering." Can you really be sad about losing a guy everyone on the team calls "Petey?" The return of Longform Shoals with a new name. Outside of FD, this is really where Shoals is best. Iggy doesn't like being called Iggy. Unfortunately for Iggy, until Iggy actually shows that he's worth $80 million f*cking dollars, we're going to keep calling Iggy Iggy. Iggy. 59 wins for the Rockets? I can see that.
