Good

This is the best possible outcome. I’m looking forward to moving on and enjoying the season.

Shut up and Coach

Spencer Hawes

So he is a professional athlete after all!

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. It's simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get tangled, you tango on

maaaaan, this does not bode well

I think the collective expectations for how Spencer’s career plays out went down several notches today, from “three-time all-star over productive 12 year career” to “2 1/2 seasons then medical exception retirement”.

Nobody knows his body like Spence, and he sees eggshells where his knees are supposed to be. Damn.

I remember

when I was four years old and I backed up the toilet with paper and it overflowed and scared the hell out of me. I didn’t flush again until July of last year (I’m 49, by the way). Maybe it’s like that with Hawes and his knee…

that could very well be

I remember C-Webb and other players coming back from injury have talked about the fear and mental block they had about doing the thing that injured them in the first place…

…you made me feel a bit better.

Glad I could help

I just went to the bathroom and couldn’t bring myself to flush. Thanks for the Full Metal Jacket flashback.

I love the toilet bowl analogy section

Rather perfect I do say.
