Well it wasnt the prettiest game in the world, and the Cats won even though they shot 30 % from the field, but they won and if you were like me, you were jumping up and down and enjoying the victory.  The best part of it to me was watching the much-maligned Bobby Perry stick it to his critics with 25 points and a performance that saw him control the offense and play a point forward that was necessary to victory.  Who would have thought that Cats could win getting only one 3 from Sparks, Morris constantly in foul trouble and very little from Joe Crawford?  Bobby Perry thats who!  The Turkey Hunter long ago named Perry "The Future" for reasons that likely shouldnt be on this blog.  But he played up to the name today.

But the absurd highlight of the game?  How about Rajon Rondo yelling out a racial term at Perry when he missed a layup and was fouled?  It went something like "FINISH ____"  We played it back here at the KSR Radio studios to make sure we didnt miss it....and we didnt.  Rondo has a potty mouth.  ;)
