A Wart In A World Full Of Swallows



Imagine this: The grim reaper is coming after you. He is also dribbling a basketball.

If that's how we thought of death, basketball would be terrifying.

Basketball isn't terrifying though. Some even regard it as FUN! It's fun on the playground playing with your pals. It's fun in the back of an empty Ryder Truck, trying to play as you jostle with the push and pull of the truck. It's even fun in the NBA!



To show our commitment to the community, my co-colleague and I will be previewing each (and EVERY) NBA Team before the season starts. Why trust us? Because we're experts.

Today's Team: The Hotlanta Hawks.

Fact: I have a friend from Georgia. He doesn't give a shit about the Hawks. They've moved past caring about things in the Southern States.
Fiction: The Atlanta Hawks are a style of Mediterranean Bread.
Fact: They go great with Hummous.
Fiction: The Atlanta Hawks lost Forward Josh Childress to a Greek Team. Not true. They lost him to the scourge of marijuana many many moons ago.
Fact: Al Horford is the only Dominican in the NBA. We should all, my friends, your friends, their friends, should go to an "Dominican Tribute Night" in Atlanta on November 11th. Dominican flags will be distributed to the first 10,000 fans and the second half of the game will be played with chickens on the court.
Fiction: There is no "Dominican Tribute Night" is there?

Story of the Off Season:

Joe Johnson, the team's multi-talented swingman bought a bag of dog food because it included a dog whistle. Upon discovering the whistle, Johnson was heart broken upon realizing that dog whistles don't sound like barking.
