When Thomas Haake&#8217;s poly-meters start colliding with that opening invocation of &#8220;Everybody get up, it&#8217;s time to slam now,&#8221; I can truly feel my spirit lifting. If Michael Jordan can stretch his arm to score the game-winning basket and Haake can keep all of those fills straight in his head, surely I can make it through another day.
