the spurs beat up on the injured and dysfunctional lakers, and can get some rest for their aging stars. i must comment on dwight howard, who once again exposed himself for the cancer he is for any team he plays on. i dont care that he has all world talent, he could never play on a team i coached with his ALL ME mentality. its a shame to see such talent wasted by such a childish immature prima donna. howard has no respect for the game or his team, making a mockery out of the league that provides him with a lavish lifestlye. enough on that rant....had to get it out my system...
for tonights games.... all i see is contradictions...pacers need to win in atlanta, which seems to be almost impossible, or see this series knotted up at 2-2 by a team they dominated at home..
in brooklyn, the nets need a win worse than a drownin man needs a lifeline...can they take advantage of kirk hinrich being out for the bulls?....the bulls still have robinson and butler...i dont know... hinrich defended williams so well in chicago...
in houston, which half do we see play out, the first or second halves of the previous game?..maybe neither.. (melo, you joked, asking me if i could coach game 4 for OKC) .one thing i do not like with westbrook out.... i see durant handling the ball way too much, and i know thats by design, but hes the most dangerous player on the court. get the ball OUT of his hands and let the ball find him off motion and after he gets open off screens and backdoor cuts...at 6 ft 11 they can even clear out for him and let him post up in a 2 man game ....i just saw an unimaginative thunder offense without westbrook getting into the lane and kicking the ball out for the 3 or dumping it off inside when help stepped up, or making that sweet little jumper from right below the free throw line...i think houston figured out the thunder offense in the 2nd half and thats what worries me about taking OKC...
i have no clue how to handicap these 3 games, and if anyone claims to have a BIG winner or a LOCK on any of them........be afraid my friend, very afraid... good luck on whatever you play. if you have any baseball advice feel free to comment on that too..
i may just wait for the heat to play again!!! ....naw, probably not, too many in game wagers to tempt me...
