Is This Anything?

How can it not be, when Josh Giddey sinks a 47-footer from half-court to beat the visiting Lakers Thursday night, 119-117? Oh, the look on the face of that LA fan was priceless. Don’t let the door hit you on the way to the airport, my friend. I think we can now officially move past the “they should be tanking, not winning” take that filled the airwaves the past week or so. And let’s not worry what Joe Cowley brought up in today’s Sun-Times, how much it will cost to keep Giddey and Coby White around. Right now, those two get the rest of the regular season, which comes out to nine games, and the postseason to show what they’re about. Until then, just enjoy the ride, or, as the great philosopher Bobby McFerrin once urged, don’t worry, be happy. Like scoring nine points in the final 12.6 seconds when you’re down by five. Makes me smile.
