Hey, look, it's those hoopsters again

The NBA  season kicked off last night, and the Blob is ashamed to admit LeBron 'n' Giannis 'n' them slipped right past it unobserved. 

This is because the Blob was never aware the NBA season ever stopped.

It was just yesterday, or maybe the day before, that LeBron, Anthony Davis and the Lakers won the Weird Summer Thing, or the championship of the 2020 season as the NBA insisted on calling it. OK, so it was a couple of months ago, but it feels like it was yesterday or the day before.

See, the Lakers hoisted the trophy on October 11, and then the NFL played a few games and Ohio State played, like, one, and suddenly NBA training camps were open again. And then last night, on December 22, the season began, or resumed, or whatever.

This means, if the Bastard Plague allows the season to run its normal course, everyone will be done playing sometime in June. Which means the 2019-2020-2021 season will have lasted 20 months, with one fairly lengthy break because of the 'Rona and another not-really-a-break between last season and this season or whatever we're calling all this.

I figure Steph Curry will be a pencil stub by then, worn down from 6-1 or so to about 5-9.

LeBron and AD will scarcely be speaking because they've been around one another for nearly two years straight and GOD CAN SOMEBODY JUST SHUT THIS GUY UP ALREADY.

Kyrie Irving will become convinced Kevin Durant is the evil twin of Christopher Columbus and is sailing the Nets off the edge of the Earth, BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS IT'S FLAT, Y'ALL.

Paul George, meanwhile, will have taken to calling himself  "Pleistocene Paul" because he will feel like the last time he had a real break was in the Pleistocene Age. Giannis Antetokoumpo will feel like he's lived in Milwaukee forever because "every day is forever here." And the Indiana Pacers will have been playing for so long they'll be reminiscing about the time Roger Brown and Mel Daniels played for them "a couple of years ago."

And the rest of us?

The rest of us will have forgotten again that the NBA ever has an offseason.

I mean, I suppose people have seen it, actually. But that's what they said about Bigfoot.
