The Funny, Stupid Thing of the Day
Check out this hilarious jumbo-tron video challenge that the Blazers put together to see if any of the team’s players could name all seven Dwarfs from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Is anyone surprised that Robin Lopez is the only one who could name them all? Or that Damian Lillard and Mo Williams looked and acted like he didn’t want a thing to do this?
Play of the Night
We must show you how awesome Bucks rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo can be sometimes simply because we know hardly any of you are watching the Bucks this year. “The Greek Freak” gets the block and the slam in one incredibly exciting sequence against the Clippers last night. The energy and natural athletic ability this young man plays with makes it really hard not to root for him.
