Weekend Odds and Ends

One. When I first saw this pic a couple of weeks ago, the combination of Hayward and the seat cover just made me laugh.

Factor in #Lockout and #TooMuchTime, and this happened on a Monday morning:

Two. Poor Enes Kanter. He was just supposed to be attending a basketball tourney in Istanbul and had to deal with that crossing his path.

Three. Speaking of Turkey: Deron Williams has played a few games for his new team, but some things never change. He’s crossed the ocean, but is still complaining about the officiating:

Four. A signed letter addressed to fans from Randy Ribgy appeared on the Jazz’s official website on Friday expressing appreciation for fans’ support and patience.

The Trib’s Brian T. Smith, however, sniffed out the truth: That the letter was actually assembled from cut-and-pasted paragraphs that were identical to ones found in messages to fans published by the Trailblazers, Rockets, and Hawks. Yay for sincerity.

Five. Oh, training camps and first week of pre-season have been cancelled. Yay for rich people fighting over money.
