When Life Hands You Lemons... BLAME THE REFS

by thankyouforblaze on Feb 7, 2012 11:18 PM PST

I've come to that point in my life where I've decided that all of life's little problems (including basketball problems) can easily be attributed to the Refs:

Jamal Crawford shoots too much. Easy... BLAME THE REFS
Raymond Felton can't hit that wide-open 3... BLAME THE REFS
Wesley Matthews has the handles of a six-year-old with two left feet... BLAME THE REFS
Marcus Camby is old... BLAME THE REFS
Kurt Thomas is one handsome dude... BLAME THE REFS
Craig Smith can't rebound to save his life... BLAME THE REFS
LaMarcus Aldridge doesn't take over late in games... BLAME THE REFS
Nicolas Batum can't dunk the ball when necessary with his gimpy knee... BLAME THE REFS
Elliot Williams wouldn't pass the ball to save his life... BLAME THE REFS
Gerald Wallace ain't crashin' much anymore... BLAME THE REFS
Luke Babbitt isn't consistently making the Chulapa shot... BLAME THE REFS
Armon Johnson can't dribble to his right... BLAME THE REFS
Chris Johnson isn't an All-Star... BLAME THE REFS
Nolan Smith isn't even a point guard... BLAME THE REFS
Greg Oden isn't healthy (EVER!)... BLAME THE REFS

Scott Foster couldn't get a call right 30 feet away from the basket with no angle... BLAME IT ON THE REFS (in this case, that's pretty reasonable.)

I don't know about you guys, but I feel a little better...

Well Pilgrim, what should we do in this situation?

a little Vonnegut always goes a long way...

“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—Damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”

The man is a genius. What can I say? (besides ‘So it Goes’)

haha, 'blow it up' is one of my favorite options,

but I’ve been overusing it as of late.

I watched Full Metal Jacket the other night and figured I should throw in a little John Wayne into the poll this time (though I abstained from mentioning the peanuts bit).
