I. The Morning, not the Mourning
The poem “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day? (Sonnet 18)” by William Shakespeare, except it’s “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day? (Player 11)” by Shea Serrano


Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more hot from the behind the arc and more temperate in disposition:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of the playoff months,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date, as did your 2018 season:
Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines, like the time you were mad LeBron wouldn’t pass you the ball, which was perfect,
And often is your championship aspiration dimm’d;
And every postseason from postseason declines,
By chance, or the NBA’s changing course, untrimm’d;
But thy eternal sauce shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that swagger thou ow’st;
Nor shall ankle injury brag thou brilliance in his shade,
When in eternal Vines and highlight memes thou grow’st;
So long as players can shoot or eyes can see baskets,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.


Image

II. The Afternoon and the Afterglow
The first verse of the poem “I Miss My Homies” by Percy “Master P” Miller, except it’s “I Miss My Homie” by Shea Serrano


I used to watch my Dion, even stalk my Dion,
I used to bang for Dion, goddamn I miss Dion.
We started out youngsters in the park throwin’ birds,
In your suit, damn, it’s sad you on the injured reserve.

The game got me workin’, got me perkin’, never jerkin’,
Still watching highlights for you ’cause I know you’re up there workin’.
Your little teammates are cool, and your coaches are straight,
But today’s a sad day to see the injured reserve with your name.

From the cradle to the grave, from the courts we used to fall,
In the park you liked to ball, put your name up on the wall.
In the games, you’re a legend, on the street you were a star,
But it’s sad to my homeboy riding in that black car.

A lot of players done died, a lot of mothers done cried,
You done took your piece of the pie, but you was too young to retire.
Why players play for your name, leave it in vain.
Some players never change, damn, they injured you for some change.

Smile for my homie Dion Waiters, my boy Kobe Wade.
The basketball fans that lost their loved one to one of these games played.


Image



III. The Night, Not the Dark
The poem “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” by Dylan Thomas, except it’s “Rage, Rage Against the Dying of the Highlight” by Shea Serrano


Do not go gentle into that good night,
Injured ankles should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the highlight.

Though wise All-Stars at their end know dark is right,
Because their plays had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Great players, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced as you did at the expense of the Bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the highlight.

Wild players who caught and shot the fun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved a shot on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good highlight.

Grave players, near the injured reserve, who see the blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be First Team All-NBA,
Rage, rage against the dying of the highlight.

And you, Dion, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the highlight.


IV.Langston Hughes, Giannas Child

This is a song for the giannas child.
Sing it softly, for the song is wild.
Sing it softly as ever you can -
Lest the song get out of hand.

Nobody loves a giannas child.

Can you love an eagle,
Tame or wild?
Can you love an eagle,
Wild or tame?
Can you love a monster
Of frightening name?

Nobody loves a giannas.

Kill him - and let his soul run wild.
Long Live Winnie. Mamba siempre

^ Love Langston Hughes. Love him.

Time to get ready for our run, people.

This game in Brooklyn must be taken very seriously. Next up is Charlotte (on a back to back) which is always tough, but especially so now, since they just put up a 77-point half against the Wizards. Then the pocket rockets. It doesn't get easier than Friday, but we can't let our guard down.

Get this win!
