Monday, Wednesday and Friday-May through September
Both 3-1
On
Sunday the Warriors and Rockets were winners, for the Warriors it was a 118-92
win over the Pelicans and the Rockets beat the Jazz 100-87. On both sides of the continent the east and
west teams could close out their series this upcoming week.
She’s 13-years old
Jada
Williams attends Brittany Hills Middle School in Blue Springs Missouri, a city
in metro Kansas City. Williams has
received offers from Syracuse and Illinois plus overtures from several
schools. She first began exhibiting her
basketball talent at the tender age of 5-years at the YMCA. At 5 feet 6 inches the talented guard is
likely to grow a few more inches. Of
course, she wants to play Division I basketball and eventually the WNBA. Store the name in your memory banks, you
should hear it for an additional 4 years before she choses a college.
My apologies
My
error, I stated the Hawks were the only remaining team without a head
coach. I was wrong, the Bucks are still
there too. They might not be very much
longer if they hire Becky Hammon. Hammon
former WNBA player on the staff of the Spurs interviewed for the head coaching
position of the men’s team at Colorado State.
Will the Bucks make this move or is Hammond truly interested in the
position?
Doom and Gloom
I
believe the title is appropriate for what I read late last week, a rumor is
circulating Paul George has withdrawn his daughter from school. The claim and that’s what it is too this
point has caused panic in many of the citizens of Oklahoma City, without
verification I’m not even sure “the story
has legs” as they say. We recognize
the fact George will become a free-agent July 1, the Thunder faithful hope
George re-signs with the home team however that’s not guaranteed He could leave
the plains of Oklahoma for Southern California or Houston, on the other hand it
could be the city sitting beside Lake Erie or it could be somewhere I’ve failed
to mention.
Roll over and play dead
Saturday
evening the Raptors and Sixers faced a formidable task, both were in an 0-2
hole against
the Cavs and Celtics. A combination of
factors conspired to place these two front runners in a deep place. Headed into Game 3 I thought both teams had
an opportunity to rebound. They would
not likely win the series but at least make it respectable. A combination of turnovers did in the young
Sixers as they lost 101-98 in OT, “the
fat lady is walking through the door”
although she’s not yet fully tuned up.
The
Raptors-Cavs tied at 103 with seconds remaining, LeBron James hit a high bank
shot that fell through the nets Cavs 105 Raptors 103. The look on the face of several of the
Raptors said, “How could this happen
again.” My wife’s cousin a big-time
LeBron James fan and I held a conversation this afternoon. I told Danny, “Maybe players 2 through 12 or
13 the Raptors are probably better than the Cavs. The problem is the Raptors have no “LeBron James” type player on their
roster, he makes the difference.
