Lando Lands in the Valley of the Sun

It’s pretty fly that Alando Tucker went to the Suns, one of my most favorite teams. Not only is Tucker a University of Wisconsin alum, it turns out he grew up in Joliet, IL, the very same town where my dad was born. I hitchhiked out of Joliet with my girlfriend in 2002 and my experience there definitely supports Lando’s description of his childhood. Joliet is not the kind of place you want find yourself stuck in after dark. I remember walking past entire blocks of abandoned houses. Luckily, we eventually got picked up by this big black guy with big, black scars all over his arm and he drove us out along the highway to a better spot. He was really friendly, and it was one of those rides I was especially grateful for.

Joliet Prison, that once housed the infamous "Joliet" Jake.

And an article from TIME a few years ago.

Do we like him better or worse if he's a cocky bitch? I think better.

Milwaukee In The Pale Moon-light

It's early Thursday morning, und things is teetering.
So many Bucks rumors, I've run out of pocket space.
An interesting one that's out lately: 6th to the Warriors for Biedrins and 18th.
I think I'd be happy with that.
I'd much rather that than Green, I think. Biedrins did some compelling things last year. He seems like he'd play well with Bogut, too.

Anyhow.
Regardless of how things turn out tonight, barring an Andrew Bogut trade, this video gave me something to clog my throat with for a few minutes. I think I may be excited to see what Bogut does next year. There's no denying that the little boy has flashes. I'd be fucking hard-up to name many other players with the skull to make that no-look tip pass to Rube near the end. That is seriously not nothing. Kukoc used to so that shit sometimes, but I can't think of many others. It's impressive.

A Little Something For All You "Lovebirds" Out There

What a fantastic shame were those 1980s Milwaukee Bucks. Gosh, I already love them to death:

watch them Go!

They're like every sad little team you ever crushed on- (the 2001 Sacramento Kings, the 2000 Bucks, the 1999 Trailblazers (the first team I seriously cared for), the 1995 Sonics) that never got to finish their dinners cause of some burly, lawless older brother that just wouldn't move out.
