Ruffin? What-The-Heck Blues

by EngineerScotty on Feb 19, 2009 3:52 PM PST

Ladies and gentlemen, some travelin' music, please. This is the NBA, after all, you get a few steps....

My favorite team, they be strugglin'

They're stuck down in a rut

The only guard who plays dee-fense

Is stuck sittin' on his butt

Our big man is on the shelf again

It makes me wanna go "fooey!"

The whole thing it reminds me

of some-other-big-man-whose-name-I dare not mention

We had the Golden Ticket

And what did we just do?

NOTHING! That is why I've got the

Ruffin? What-The-Heck Blues!

(you know what I'm sayin', Lawd...)

Th' economy's in the crapper

The world is going to heck

In a Louis Vitton handbag

That our point guard forgot to check

We've got matadors in the backcourt

And mailboxes in the post

We'll probably make the playoffs this year

But I strongly suspect we're toast

We had the Golden Ticket

There's no way that we could lose.... (pause for breath)

But we cashed in all our chips, so I've got the

Ruffin? What-the-heck Blues!

Oh, we could have had Richard Jefferson!

We could have had us some Vince!

Maybe even the STAT-man

It all just makes me wince

Oh the rumors and the gossip

It just makes me wanna scream.

ESPN thinks we could have acquired

the entire East All-Star team....

(bluesy guitar solo)

But instead our big deal

Is for a dude who cannot play

We already have a couple of those

Why can't we trade one away

We got this "trade exception"

Tell me what is that about?

I guess its OK, as long as it plays

Defense better than Trout

I've spent all my day on the Internet

Just waiting for the news.....

But now I'm stuck here with an empty beer

and the Ruffin? What-The-Heck Blues.

Oh, please listen, Mr. Pritchard

Put yourself in my shoes......

My balloon's been deflated, my mojo sedated, my points all debated, and my hope its been traded

For the Ruffin! (Ruffin?) What-The-I-can't-say-that-word-here-or-Dave-will-kill me....

What-The-Heck BLUES!

Oh well, y'all--we'll kick some butt in July...

Thank you.

Nice

but dont underestimate Ruffins POTENTIAL.

I try to help with everything," Fernandez said. "If the coach says go rebound, I go rebound. I work for the team.

I think the trade was a clever ploy

to keep Chandler out of the game the other night.

Just think about it. OK and NO do a trade—involving a key player on the Hornets, and a pair of scrubs on the Thunder.

That night, they play—minus the aforentioned players, pending completion of the trade.

Durant goes off for 47, as the Hornets only legit interior defender—Chandler—was out. You think Peja is gonna stop KD? Even decent defenders like Mo Pete or Posey aren’t gonna handle Durant, and Paul—despite his chops against smaller guys—ain’t gonna slow Durant. Meanwhile, Wilcox and Smith are scarely missed.

As a result—the Thunder ALMOST pull off the upset.

Once the game’s over—oops—Chandler has an owwie on his toe. Cancel the trade.

It’s foolproof. And it would have worked too, if it weren’t for you meddlin’ kids…

There is no charge for awesomeness. Or attractiveness.

Freaking awsome man, i would say trust in K.P. I understand i have spent the last few days playing NBA2k and trading for Wallace and using them, they rock that way in the game, however in real life i dont know. K.P. knows and i trust his judgement. Awsome job though!
