Montrezl Harrell is so damn good, man. The contrast with Cristiano Felicio in this game was startling. How can two players, equally talented (shhhhh, I’m trying to make a point here just roll with it), have such different impacts on the game? In fairness to Felicio, it’s a rare man who is gifted with the inner fire like Harrell. If Felicio tried to play with the same intensity, he would burn out in a few minutes and have to go back to Brazil. But Harrell is just relentless. Long arms help him out a lot, but he is an inspiration for manlets everywhere with the way he scores the ball as a significantly undersized center.
I already had to banish Lou Williams from my channel for scoring way too many points off the Clippers’ (and others) bench. Do I have to do the same for Harrell? I think I’ve made a highlight video for about a third of the games he’s played this season, which is a sign that maybe he’s outgrown my humble operation and is ready to graduate fully to the big boys.
Well, might as well play the season out for him. There’s only… 12 games left for the Clippers? What? Where did the season go? I swear it was just a few weeks ago that opening night was happening… DAMMIT. I’d better get to work on that Harrell dunkilation if I want it to be ready by the end of the season. It’s gonna be sick.
