Hack a Shaq- Redux

It's the perfect storm...in the NBA...the game is going on and is a good one...change of leads, fast breaks ( a lost art), inside and outside scoring, decent offensive sets being used...in the regular season...hmmm...well, now, it is the Spurs and the Clip Show...

And then POOF!...the legendary coach of San Antone, Pop, decides to change things up and does the momentum and game breaker, Hack a Shaq...well, in this case, it is the Hack a Jordan...the Clip's incredibly poor FT shooter...

This is a method of play (?) where the Spurs immediately grab Jordan wherever he is...and puts him on the FT line...and he usually misses...like a 43% success rate...and the game stalls...horribly...well...did it work?...you can use the tactic until the last 2 minutes...and that's what happened...it turned out to be a 2 minute fray...which LA did win...

It's over and TNT turns to it's analysts...which included the one and only SHAQ!...he's ticked that it's happening...like Deja Vu...shortly thereafter, Coach Pop, is interviewed...and he states that he hates the rule, but if there, he'll use it...

Hmmm...the solution?...of course, get the bloke to make his FT's...I say let Rick Barry come in and teach him the bucket shot...or take him out until the last 2 minutes...or alter the rule, to have any player shoot the shot...or treat it like a Tech, shots and the ball...I know the league will change it...I mean, they allow the inbounding of the ball after a time out at mid court...what say you?...

The Bolts...are bolting...like the rumor of many a year...the owners want a new stadium to put their average product in...not that the city didn't back 'em...they did...in a big way...

Yesterday a plan was unveiled...a modern biggee to be built north of here, in LA, Carson actually...where there would be a shared occupancy...much like the Lakers and Clippers do...this time it would be the Bolts and Raiders...nauseating...of course, many other owner types have done the same thing...it's their tinkertoy...

If a truth...imagine the empty stadium out at the Q in the transition phase...I could see this, if there were apathy for the team...but it's an owner that wants his way...

Guliani...what the hell?...and I backed this guy...he seemed like a decent bloke...in the aftermath of 9/11...what a facade...is he a racist?...or just babbling to be...any which way, a very bad bloke...

Our good friend, Cliffy, rolls into town today...and I think he's bringing the Orygun weather with him...

Have a wunnerful weekend...

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...
