NBA Draft...and MORE

For such a draft in the NBA that was supposed to be an off one...well...it turned into a night of surprises...starting with the top pick by the Cleveland Cavs...Michael Bennett  of UNLV...what?...I saw them play plenty this year...and I just don't get that pick...even when he is healthy...which he is not...go figure...PDX picked another bloke like what they got last year...an unheard of kid from a smaller D-1 place...Lehigh...whatever...no big step...and they will flounder about again...

The big news?...the MORE part?...the trade of the Celts and the Nets...where Brooklyn gave up 5 guys and 3 number one picks for the trio of Garnett, Pierce, and the older shooter guy...throw in that they are to be coached by a newby...that just retired from playing...it will be an interesting team to say the least...are they better than the Heat?...lord no...keeping them free from injuries will be the big thing...

Surprisingly quiet were the Clips and the Lake Show...I think that their moves are coming soon...all the rumors about Dwight Howard...he will not be a Laker next year...and I say, "so what!"...he's a piece and good luck to whomever gets stuck with that act...he's a huge liability in the 4th quarter...and his mini-mind says he needs to be the go to guy...ha ha...good luck...can't make a free throw...amongst other faults...certainly not a closer...

The Pads have hit the road...to Miami...and I fear a very tough road trip...then to Wash and Baltimore...left not on a high note...very poor play by the closing staff...see above Dwight...yet...we are staying in 2nd place due to the other guys losing, too...WE MUST SPLIT...if we are for real...I have huge doubts...

It doesn't look like the Aaron Hernandez guy had many smarts going for him...I mean he signed for like $17 million bucks...and he allegedly did what he did...or had done...so sad...

If you listen to the pundits...if you are drafted in the 2nd round you are a loser...er, like a very long shot to make it in the league...NBA talk...however, I think PDX got a good one in their 39th spot...C Jeff Withey...a late bloomer out of Kansas...I really think he can play...mark my words...one more thing...not a fan of Shabazz...way over rated and is going to Minnesota...

Miami didn't have a draft pick, right?...I guess they just buy who they want...

You see who is up there in the leaders in the LPGA's 2nd Major?...yup, the putting machine, Inbee Park...she just may...MAY...be the one to win all of them in one season...really?...yup, she's that good...she's won 5 tourneys so far this year...and you want to talk about Tiger...

And the Pads are dogs yet again...
What has happened to Michelle Wie?...
Demi L is way over hyped...off key, good lord...
Jamaal Franklin will make the grade...
Hair cut day...
And, unfortunately, the bills, too...
Boo...
I thought that the gal team movie looked good...
Then the reviews came out....
Eegads, one star...

PS...where else can you walk a few blocks down to a tourist destination...get a street table...have a beer and a chardonnay...watch the world go by...eat some nachos...have another beer and a chardonnay...and watch the fuzz arrest some guy that highly resembled a character from Seinfeld...it's like watching TV, but live...Gaslamp Quarter, you gotta lurve it...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
