There is often nothing funnier than capturing a facial expression or occurrence at the right time, or, should we say, the most inopportune time.
I challenge you, loyal readers, to view the picture below and provide a captivating caption that will cause “the shores a-crowding” with “people all exulting.” Should you provide the wittiest of captions, for you the flag will be flung and the bugles will trill.
This week, we have Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra during a recent loss to the Dallas Mavericks:
You’ve got the context, now make like the father of free verse and create the best caption you can in the comments below.
Did you hear me call for an iso?
Can you explain to my heroes that defense wins championships?
“What do you mean there are 48 minutes in an NBA game?! Zach Randolph specifically said there are 42 and LeBron has already played 38 and refuses to go back in.”
hahaha
“Has anyone seen Pat? Bosh keeps telling me to ‘chill.'”
Do YOU want to see Riley on the bench?
Can we still win 72?
“I was told that the NBA was moving to a 3-on-3 format this year. When did they change it back to 5 v. 5???”
We knew the Decision would affect his career, but for how long?
Isn’t that Step 1 of the “I’d Like To Reacclimate Myself Into Your Lives” blueprint?
“What do you people want from me?”
“What should I do? Sorry – I love that commercial!”
Can I do this?
Do you have a post player I can borrow?
“I got a little change in my pocket going jinga-linga- ling.”
What?!? You expected more than the best .500 team money can buy?
DO NOT SEEK THE TREASURE! IT’S BUSHWHACKED!
“Can I get one of Aunt Bea’s blueberry pies?”
Hahaha. Classic stuff. Bill Ribas should have some good stuff.
Hey, you know my job is on the line ?
Don’t you know who were are ?
No I don’t have any more ideas to make this team win !
I got three divas this year, all with attitudes like you wouldn’t believe, and you’re telling me I need to put more money in the meter or they’re towing my car?
We have to clear out of the arena by 4 in time for the senior early bird supper? What kind of town is this?
I have to sweep the flop sweat under the basket? Me? You’re kidding, right?
No , I didn’t spray graffiti while on the book depository tour !
No, I didn’t soap George Bush’s windows this morning !
“flop sweat” In the words of Casey, you guys have provided a good church cackel. Can’t laugh out loud right now because both kids are sleeping and the wife is on cloud nine.
What, you want to tell this team how to score? You want the job, because I’ll take that whistle in a heartbeat and change places.
Do I look like I have any answers?You want me to get Randy Moss to give a lecture on what a team is?
“I know I’m toast … c’mon big man … say it to my face.”
“Well, since my baby left me
Well, I found a new place to dwell
Well, it’s down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel.”
“No the Preparation H isn’t working. What am I gonna do? I can’t sit down!”
“I just wanna be loved. Is that so wrong?”
I understand Coach Spo. Besides, I can’t think of anyone else in the history of sports more set up for failure. You’ll be a great Clippers coach someday.
