Let’s play a game: name a player, and then take that player’s last name and use it as the first name of another player, and continue in perpetuity. Let’s see how far we get!
Ryan Kelly
Kelly Olynyk
…
Screw this game. This game sucks.
What doesn’t suck is Ryan Kelly’s performance against the Celtics and his name-bro Kelly Olynyk. It seems as though the Celtics expected him to shoot at his soon as he got the ball, but they were dismayed to find that Ryan has an uncanny ability to get defenders flying by him with a well-placed pump. Don’t they know that good defense is never played by flailing though the air?
With all the injuries to the Lakers we can expect to see more of this guy. I’m in favor of him starting and playing 30-ish minutes a game. Why not? I bet he’s already a fan favorite. If they can look past Kobe being a rapist, they can look past Kelly being a dookie.
