How The Hollywood Writers’ Strike Affects The NBA November 6, 2007

I don’t know if you know this, but I’m a TV watcher. Shocking but true. And there is a strike going on with the writers of America for something frivolous like money or something. This is all very important, since I love my tv shows, but it’s also important in that it will affect what 96% of this blog is about: the NBA.
I mean, with the writers out, who will send in nightly scripts for David Stern to approve? Dramatic storylines like the following can’t be made up with spontaneity!
Chuck – Kobe’s Nightly Output
With the NBA writing staff gone, we have no clue just where Kobe’s f-you season is going to lead us. Whereas before, with script writers checking in, we knew that he had to start out like a bull and torment everyone—the league, his coach, his teammates. But now that the strike is here, his storyline is up for grabs.
The Unrelatedness Plot Suggestion to the NBA: Kobe Leaves For Africa. Just like that.
Project Run(a)way – Clay Bennett’s Thong Design
MAKE IT WORK PEOPLE! I don’t actually watch this show, but through gosh-darmnit osmosis know enough to make a reference.
Now you might say that “reality tv” don’t have writers. To which I might say you are wrong wrong wrong. See, without writers carefully planning the outcome of hundreds of footage, viewers have no clue what the story is. So the same is applied here with the SuperSonics Saga: unless someone rummages through the garbage (re: Clay Bennett’s words), NBA fans have no idea where their beloved franchise will end up.
The Unrelatedness Plot Suggestion to the NBA: Make Bennett wear a dress and walk the runway.
LOST – Unanswered Storylines
With 9 teams starting off the season with a wonderful 0.00% record, I hope the writers sure know what they’re doing. Fine, even when the writers weren’t striking, we had a hard time figuring the secret plans of McHale; Pat Riley’s roster problems; Golden State’s luck; Scott Skiles vein on his forehead; or even what the Sacramento station is supposed to do (I hear it houses polar bears!)
The Unrelatedness Plot Suggestion to the NBA: Just reset the season and give everyone a 2nd change, c’mon, we’re just 3 games in!
