Basketball from a fans perspective
I’m sticking to my prediction
Did I expect the Thunder to run the Warriors out of the gym? You better believe it was unexpected, the score reached a point where I believed there was no way the Warriors were coming back. I turned the game off and figured I would check the web for the final score, Thunder 133 Warriors 105. Okay the Thunder has a two games to one lead are they favored to win? Not in my house I continue to believe if everyone is healthy the Warriors win the series.
He’s amazing
I continue to be amazed at the dumb statements attributed to ESPN’s Skip Bayless. My wife has a saying; “What comes up comes out. “ In other words from her perspective if you think it you announce it no matter how strange and stupid it might appear to others. Bayless sent out this tweet; “LeBron is lucky he plays in the Eastern Conference.”
See if you understand the logic of one Skip Bayless. Its LeBron’s fault he was drafted by the Cavs went to Miami instead of some Western Conference team and returned again to Cleveland. It’s also LeBron’s fault the Eastern Conference is much weaker than the Western Conference. Come on Skip get a grip on reality of life and the NBA.
“Houston we’ve had a problem here”
Those were the words uttered by astronaut Jack Swigert aboard Apollo 13. He was announcing to NASA headquarters in Houston their spacecraft had developed a problem. Our issue is on the ground but it still involves Houston, the Rockets have expanded their coaching search. We’ve received reports Mike D’Antoni and Hornets assistant Stephen Silas are the leading candidates. Someone or maybe several someone’s in the organization decided to widen the search. All together the list of candidates consisted of 12 former coaches, assistants plus one television analyst.
Can you say excitement?
Jayhawk Nation is ecstatic in that 6-7 Rivals number one prospect Josh Jackson chose Kansas. They should be excited gaining Jackson over the likes of Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina and Louisville. Those are just a few of the basketball heavyweights who sought his services. Jackson attends Prolific Prep a basketball academy located in Napa California quite a distance from his Detroit area home. How excited is Coach Bill Self you ask, well he’s made the comparison to former Rivals number one recruit Andrew Wiggins.
It’s not just the arrival of Jackson that has many in Jayhawk Nation jumping up and down with anticipation. Joining him will be Udoka Azubuike a 6-11 280 pound center. Arriving along with Jackson and Azubuike is a third prospect 6-8 215 pound forward Mitch Lightfood. Rivals contend the incoming crop is number one, 27 and 118 in their list of Top 150 prospects. With this incoming class plus most of last year’s team returning you can understand why Bill Self might be grinning from ear to ear.
