Discontinuity -- n. 1. Lack of continuity, logical sequence, or cohesion. 2. A break or gap. Man, that game was a mess. It was a game that by several metrics the Blazers should be ashamed to have lost, while by other metrics it's a wonder they were even in it to begin with. So the stats analysis is discontinuous. But that's just the beginning, just one layer. It was the way the Blazers played, the way the Nuggets played, the pace of play, the scoring patterns, even the types of plays and types of calls made. The entire game epitomized gaps, breaks, irregularity and lack of sequence. And when it was over, my digestive system was feeling pretty discontinuous. It was all the herky and twice the jerky. It was double the slap, hold the tickle. It was barely explicable, if not -in...but of course I'll give it a shot. {Below the fold, that is}
