Grizzlies-Thunder; Posada- Yankees; Cueto Needs A Liner; Lakers Coaching Suggestion
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies face off in the first Game 7 of this year's playoffs. No truth to the rumors that the FBI are currently combing the city looking for Kevin Durant's game.
It's no secret that if the Thunder want to win and further drive the stake in the heart of Seattle Sonics fans even more, Durant has to come up big.
He's THE talent on that team- no disrespect to Russell Westbrook or everyone else. This is the next step in the evolution of Durant: can he put the team on his back and will them to victory in a must-win scenario. All the greats have done it- although some more than others. Now is his time to prove to the basketball world he belongs in the rarified air we all expect of him.
I LOVE IT WHEN THERE IS DRAMA ON THE YANKEES. That being said, it's a little more than disconcerting to see Jorge Posada go out looking like an egotistical punk.
The stories coming out are not jiving with each other which makes me believe that my first reaction was the right one: Posada saw he was hitting ninth and had a tantrum.
I'm an expert in this behavior. My four year old daughter displays this kind of emotional terrorism on a regular basis. She usually ends up in timeout. So should Jorge.
And even I feel some kind of sadness that one of the all-time great Yankees will go out like this.
And then it passes and I begin to smile with the anticipation this team is headed back to the days of the "Bronx Zoo".
JOHNNY CUETO IS MY LATEST player who I deem most in need of liner to the sternum.
The head would be too much, but after he made a really great whirling back handed snag of a ground ball on the mound, he did a little strut and display of arrogance that made we just want to see the next batter line one right off his chest.
There is no way to even begin to think about believing that was anything but pure luck. So take it and just throw the damn ball to first and go about your business.
YOU KNOW, THE MORE I THINK ABOUT THE LAKERS wanting to interview retreads like Mike Dunleavy and Rick Adelman the more I think maybe they're onto something.
I mean, why not go to the mattresses and interview as many retreads as possible. You could call Cotton Fitzsimmons, Jim O'Brien, Paul Westphal, Don Chaney, Bill Fitch, Del Harris, and Hubie Brown too.
I'm sure all of those guys would love a chance to be the head coach of the Lakers and would rearrange their therapy sessions to come in for an interview.. In fact, why not screw with everyone's heads and bring in M.L. Carr and Isiah Thomas for a chat as well.
As ridiculous as what I just wrote sounds, it's only slightly more ridiculous than considering Adelman or Dunleavy. The sad thing is, one of those two will probably end up with the job.
