Whew...

Well, it wasn't the prettiest of games...both teams wanted it in the worst way...and for a major portion of it, it was the worst...the Celtics played their hearts out..."Sheed got the start and played real well...they had momentum and just couldn't hold it...their defensive scheme on Kobe was marvelous...the Lakers...outstanding time out usage by Phil Jackson...every time they got one, he put the ball in the rest of the team's hands to score...in the flow of the game Kobe was ugly...he continually shot within a double or triple team...or made off balanced awful passes...kudos to the coach...they did rebound well...as you know, I predicted the Lakers in 6...and finally, if this game was played in Boston, the Celts would have won...
Am I way off on this?  But is Pebble Beach GC an awful looking piece of pasture land?  I'm not talking about the scenery, which is amazing, but the course itself...the greens look like splotches of ugly, they are tiny, the grass (whatever) grows weird, and are unpredictable...I would go watch the spectacle, but would not pay the $450 to play it...I digress, the winner of this Open doesn't have to use his driver but a mere 5 or 6 times...

The Padres host the Orioles tonight for a 3 game series...my son flies in...golf tomorrow at Sycuan...dinner at Ruth Chris...is there a better father's day weekend?
