Last night, during the first quarter of the Trailblazers handling of the NJ Nets, I looked to my barroom colleagues and said, stupidly, “Nic Batum is the best player on the team. Better than Roy, better than Aldridge.” The editors of this website will recognize that as typical ffitch tongue shaking (baseless, reactionary) and the only reason I bring it up now is because a) it was prophetic and b) at halftime of last night’s game I was joined at the bar by the author of this post who, noticeably drunk upon arrival, only paused from further boozing to scream “Batum” in my ear–suggesting a similar sentiment to my own. Later, as without a purpose in life becomes without a purpose on a Friday night, I was wooed to the home of the author who plied me with Bourbon so sour and forced me against my will to read the above post. So I say to the editors of The New Enthusiast, “Congratulations are due to you who have enlisted the aid of dangerous drunks, and for the direct method used to achieve that Holy Grail of weblogging: ‘readership.’”
