She Who Laughs Loudest...

Thank God for the All-Star Jam Session volunteer orientation that took place tonight. It was a welcome distraction from the godawful excuse for a basketball game that took place at the Pepsi Center tonight. I was listening to the second quarter in the car on the way home and became more and more dismayed as nearly every Denver possession resulted in points scored and every Dallas possession seemed to also result in Denver scoring as well. During a timeout, an in-game SportsCenter came on and the announcer mentioned the final score of the Miami-Houston game: the Rockets lost, 99-66. I laughed at the ridiculous lopsidedness of the score -- my mistake. Because the final score on the Mavericks-Nuggets game was even worse: 127-91. The Mavericks apparently never stepped off the plane and onto the court in Denver. Sometimes, it's better to just put an ugly loss such as this behind you and move on to the next game, even if it is a full week away.
