The NBA Player Draft

It is the guess work of all franchises of the league...year after year...there is no other sport, that a draftee plays as quickly in the bigs as the hoops...so...if you have a pick in the top 5...your guy will probably be a huge part of what your makeup is...in the next season...this year, there are 5 elite kids...so it is being predicted...
However, the game has changed remarkably...it USED to be a big man's league...not now...it is a MOBILE one...guys have to play in and out...gone, is the pound the rock to the big posting down low...it's more of a high pick and roll...and drive and dish...so...a 6'9" kid is more valuable than a 7' dude...yet, the scribes are saying the 2 top picks...are bigs...hmmm...
Let's go...
Thanks for the comments on yesterday's blog...sure it is heart felt...but it is a reality...part of history of the nation...and NOT a moment of pride...for anyone...
The frustrating Padres...finally got a home game...it's a brief 2 gamer with the Oakland A's...were leading in the 9th...2-1...2 outs and the closer...blew it...gave up a dinger...BTW, he has blown 2 in a row...yikes!...then lost in the OT...as the former Salemite and teammate of son Cris...Jed Lowrie hit a 2 run home run to beat the locals...well, if we are going to lose, best be to him...
The Mickelson Mockery...continues to be an issue...as other Pros are chiming in...to be fair and honest...there are those who say that he acted without premeditation...a reactionary thing...looked otherwise to moi...regardless, he should have been DQ'd...
Kirstjen Nielsen...the spokeswoman (actually the DHS 'Chief') for the POTUS on the 'illegals problem', here in the US of A...just happened to be eating in a Mexican restaurant last eve in DC...got some heckling by some very disgruntled peops...I can't make this stuff up...
The hype on the new pixel series 'Yellowstone', starring Kevin Costner...has been intriguing...on the Paramount Channel (?)...it got panned in the USA Today...let me judge for myself...

Finally, the boyz are back and we are commingling out at the course...egads, has it been like 3 weeks since I hacked about?...I may swing and miss...FORE!...
