Hollis Thompson scored 16 points while I watched in disbelief as his blatantly tanking 76ers beat my not-so-blatantly tanking Bucks. This is a good thing for Mr. Thompson. My perception of him is now permanently colored by his performance this game. He could shoot 10% the rest of the season and I would still think of him as a good player. Whenever I see his name all I will be able to think of is “Remember when Hollis Thompson kicked the Bucks’ rear end and then Spencer Hawes made a bunch of threes? Sweet times were had by all”.
Sweet times were indeed had by all. Except for the Bucks players. And my flat screen TV. Thing was brand new and I had to lose my cool and throw my Kareem bobblehead at it. And my Jennings bobblehead. And that semi-rare never-released Jianlian bobblehead. Piece of crap TV can’t even handle a few projectiles.
