The Salt Lake City Swing is getting yelled at

We know how it looks.

We’re allllllways coming down on that team and that guy. Therefore, we’re not going to do it in this space today. Instead, we will tell the magical story of a fictional team from the Neato Basketball Armada called the Salt Lake City Swing, and their “star” power forward Carly Boober.

Once upon a time, Carly Boober had a teeny-weeny widdle injury to his hamstring. As the season began to get into full swing, the injury seemed to never get better.

Just hours after [Boober] spoke with conviction and excitement Monday about progress in his recovery from a lingering hamstring strain, the [Swing] forward reinjured his left leg again. So forget about [Boober] practicing with the team this week, and stop daydreaming about a dramatic return to the lineup this weekend. It’s as if the last couple of weeks never happened.

“It’s very similar to the tweak” [Boober] suffered on Oct. 31, [Lt. Murtaugh] said.
[Boober] skipped the [Swing's] trip to [Northern California] in order to have an MRI done on his left hamstring. The test showed what the [Swing] already knew, [Lt. Murtaugh] said: The hamstring still hasn’t healed.

“I couldn’t tell you” when [Boober] might try to work out again, he said. “We’ll just have to let it heal and try again.”

Frustration grew and grew in the kingdom of the Salt Lake. It got so nasty that team owner Lawrence Willer actually barged into the huddle and bitched the team out during a game against the New York Disfunctional Weirdos. Poor Carly was confused and dismayed, as the Mehmet of Okurius was averaging almost 20 and 10 filling in at PF for him.

Nobody knows how this grand tale will end, but the loyal subjects of the young King of Clevetown will certainly watch in anticipation.
