So this guy, Paul Westhead, had this vision of going up tempo in collegiate hoops. So he takes a Loyola Marymount team and uses his scheme to score at record breaking rates. He used full court pressure, the 3 ball, and constant running to wear down teams. The opponent either went with them or slowed the game up and used the shot clock. Well, now all the teams use the clock...and it is BORING. The use of the pro style pick and roll is now the norm. The officials refuse to call the offensive block on the picker and it is a joke. Or the dribble drive and kick out to the 3 ball shooter is the other option. I miss the pressure D and the "all out play" of that grand era...
Geoff Ogilvy just kept my observation of him intact by whupping Paul Casey in the Match Play...
Shaq has had this return to the good old days as of late. He led the Suns to a victory over the Lakers and really...really has been playing well. Does not bode well for PDX and the west is up for grabs for playoff spots.
Hilarious initial episode for the Don Trump's "you're fired" show. The 2 teams were split into the gals against the guys...they have to make cupcakes and then sell them...the guys had Herschel Walker, the Worm Rodman, and Dice Clay as the major players...the gals had the rubber faced River ladies, and the Playboy playmate (name ?) as theirs...the guys forgot to add sugar to theirs and it tasted like "butt" according to one of their own members...the gals chocolate didn't rise...Dice got tossed and it was great TV...
So it's snowing in the east, raining in the west, and you know it...get out and enjoy the sun...
