Kurt-ain Call


If you didn't catch a glimpse of the Bulls/Bucks game last night on Comcast, you probably won't understand, or be able to fully comprehend the contents of this blog. So, if that's true, you have my permission to ex out the screen and go back to ebaumsworld, or brazzers, or wherever the hell you were before you stumbled upon this website. If you didn't watch though, you surely missed out. If you have been reading this blog long enough, you know that although they hail from Wisco, I sincerely enjoy the Milwaukee Bucks because of their personnel. I've made it clear that CDR has been my boy since his days lookin' off hoes at Memphis, and if Selsun Blue ever needed a campaign spokesperson, they need not look any further than Andrew Bogut. Then again, that dude takes less showers than a roadie for the Queens of the Stone Age, so that might be counterproductive. Anyway, CDR dropped a career-high 30 and Bogut was ripping boards (16 in the first half) like he was working the graveyard shift in the lumberyard. How could these two Bucks possibly be out-staged you may ask? One answer: Kurt Thomas.

I must admit, when Boozer and Noah went down and the Bulls signed "Big Sexy" and started to get him some decent run and even threw him in for the occasional start, I was skeptical. To be honest, I thought he was cut out of the "Todd Collins" mold. In case you are unaware, that's the "how are you still in professional sports after a decade and a half of complete mediocrity?" mold. But, the second oldest player in the league at the ripe ol' age of 38 has impressed me with his performance this season, specifically on the offensive end. KT has been fairly consistent knocking down the 16-20 footer for the Bullies, but what he did to the Bucks last night was downright dirty. Thomas had 8 straight 2nd quarter points on his way to garnering a 22 point, 9 board performance that had Scott Skiles, and the rest of the free world (including the 313) scratching their heads.

You have to give it to Kurtis. Just churning out season after season on 38 year old wheels that act as the only source of stability in carrying a 240 lb. frame with an extraordinarily beefy upper body. And to boot, there is one aspect of Kurt Thomas that goes unnoticed and needs to be mentioned. He has a completely uncanny resemblance to the character of Jerry Johnson from the smash hit, Little Big League (seriously, watch this). He can act, he can defend, and he can stroke like he's Mike Phelps in the lap pool. "Oh, don't do em like dat Big Sexy" -Stacey King

As for Pick of the Day, the Bucks were one more Ersan Ilyasova miracle shot away from a backdoor cover in Chicago, but they failed to deliver. For tomorrow night, there isn't much on the table so the Pulse Man will take a much needed day off and gear up for Wednesday's festivities.

Now I'm done. Rack me
