between good enough and bored stiff

from “Around the Rim”:

Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess each scored 18 points to lead the Pistons over the 76ers, 101-91 . . . Dwyane Wade (how the hell do you say that? is that Duane? or D’Why-ane?) scored 16 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter and the Heat beat the Raptors . . . (nothing about the Spurs, otherwise known as The Village People [in my head]) . . . Paul Pierce and Wally Szczerbiak each scored 22 points as the Celtics pounded the Knicks (otherwise known as the team with those hats, like David Duchovny wore all the time that one season and he was so hot [whatever]), 123-98.
