Quarter Two: Positively AWESOME

I'm ecstatic to report that I can't seem to get in touch with any of the other HS bloggers, and so it looks like I might get to do the whole game myself! I tell you, the positivity is out the roof.

-Kevin Bacon has a nice jumpshot. I think he could get 9 shots per game on this Utah team.

-Wow, one of the Warriors just jumped to block Okur, drove his knee into the back of his neck, and rode him down into the floor and no foul was called. Thank heavens, the refs are just letting them play.

-The ellipsis is great. Doug Collins: "Nelson really wanted to get Al Harrington because he loves big guys...."

-Harlan: "Monta Ellis just hit over the much-taller Matt Harpring." Good for him! Always have to love the Underdog. If he is, in fact, the Underdog in that matchup.

-Baron Davis picks up his second foul for "banging a cutter." Not recommended, kids, they have enough emotional issues as it is.

-The Fisher/Harpring SG/SF combo. Eleventh time's the charm!

-Coors is now marketing a beer that has a label wherein the "mountains turn blue as it reaches the ideal temperature." I'm not entirely sure, but I think I have a cup from Kool-Aid that does the same thing. And It. Is. AWESOME!

-Carlos Boozer with a POWERFUL rebound on the first of two free throw attempts. AND ONE.

-Harpring just lost a ball standing still five feet from the three-point line. But at least he didn't force a shot at the shot-clock buzzer!

-It looks like Boozer's Proactiv Solution is starting to work. A little bit.

-AK with three fouls, out for the final six minutes of the half. Positivity...waning...must...love...Harpring...

-Hey, Boozer just made a guy miss a wide-open three by standing five feet away with his hands up and yelling, "WOO!" That might have been his best defensive move of the season.

-Fisher lets Ellis drive by him twice, resulting in Boozer having to pick up a foul to vaguely protect the basket.

Oh, wait, need an optimistic spin. Um...he...well...

-Be back in a minute, searching for my old Kool-Aid cup.

-Doug Collins: "Boozer loves finishing with his left hand. [insert two minutes of commentary on how he's a left-handed player around the basket]." And the footage is of Boozer hitting a right-handed shot. On the bright side, Collins was close in that Boozer did use a hand.

-Just found my Kool-Aid cup. It's a milky-white color before cold water is poured in, stays milky-white after water is poured in. The strange part is that the water also turns milky-white. I don't think that was supposed to happen. I should probably wash it first next time.

-Jessica Alba just cheered for something. See, she has feelings, too!

-Stomp the Yard is out on Blu-Ray and DVD! Apparently, it's a movie about choreographed dance battles between multi-ethnic groups of street-dwelling peoples. On the whole, I'd rate it a bit below West Side Story, and way way below You Got Served.

-Collins just materialized, fouled, and disappeared. Good to see him again, I was worried he'd finally completely disappeared into the fabric of his bench chair.

-Oh, screw positivity. Jarron Collins has removed the last vestiges.

Harpring really sucks.

-Stephen Jackson argues a foul with the ref, unhinges his jaw, swallows him whole.

-.3 tenths of a second to go, Jazz with the ball. Throw it in, roll it out of bounds. Make Jerry happy.

-Jazz up 1 at halftime. If someone else doesn't show up soon to liveblog the blowout segment of our feature presentation, I'm going to be very upset.

-Boozer with 19 and 8 in the first half, pretty frickin' impressive. There, some genuine uptimism.
