Closing drive anew
crutch killer
trail flat unfiltered
oft-complacent
leap grown pivotal physical hard
in ground our off glorious wish
court snowflakes sock-‘em
able intangibles battle end
franchise-record fast-break stops
run back critical
insists tonight
lines resemble staircase
point hinges view defining sorry
myself legs asserted done
guards silky sexy youth
‘chubby’
pitted schooling pile
death elders beauty peek
bull-rush not himself
fight push uncertain move
close owns members businesses
finances built plan appears
owners permission Honda
question Anaheim
disappear today.
