I have to stop letting myself get so excited for first-half performances. Jamal Murray had 17 tonight in the first two quarters, igniting within me a flame so intense that it could only be extinguished by watching him go off in the second half. I bypassed watching my own Bucks to watch the Nuggets instead. Such was the extent of my conflagration.
Then he went and barely scored after the break, and now that flame I was talking about is still burning as bright as ever. I was counting on at least 10 Murray points to put it out, but no. I thought that making these highlights would help, you can guess how that turned out. Here’s a hint: it didn’t help one god damn little bit. Do I have to wait for the next Murray scoring outburst for this damn burning sensation to be soothed? When is the next Nuggets game anyway?
It hurts…
