A Strange...Game 1

No air-conditioning...No LeBron ...No Miami victory.

Strange game last night.  For three and a half quarters it was nip and tuck.  Close.

100 degrees on the floor.   Then James goes out.

Spurs win.

Strange game...this game 1!

From the San Antonio paper:

 

"Cramping" ...His Style?

I have never had a cramp.   But I have been around athletes who have...and women who have them monthly.

So all these haters?  Take a chill pill.  Give King James a break.

MVP Kevin Durant shows love and appreciation for his mom :-)

Kevin had a very good year.  His mom had an early Mother's Day gift.


Men...Loving...Men

The NFL made history today in their annual draft.  The Saint Louis Rams selected a gay guy as the 249th pick.

Michael Sam...the SEC defensive player of the year...finally got the call.  

32 NFL teams though Sam was not better than the other 248.

Which brings us to this.   Sam...maybe a decent player...but.

What locker room wants to see this?  And go into battle ...with that?

To Live and Die...in the ATL

There is an old saying...in the basketball world...High School, College, Rec Leagues,  Church Leagues...and the Pros...

The 3 point shot can win you some...and lose you some.

When it's on...you win.

When it's off...you lose.

And so it was with our beloved Atlanta Hawks.  They lived for 6 games against the Indianapolis Pacers.  And the 7th game...they died.

For with these Hawks...they lived with the 3 pointers...and subsequently ...died as a result of the 3's missing their mark.

 

Three Hits: Hawks offense struggles in Game 7 loss to Pacers
If it was a best-of-three or best-of-five series Atlanta would be headed to the second round. Instead top-seeded Indiana found its groove while the Hawks' offense went cold in a 92-80 Game 7 loss.

Swift Justice!

A great day...not for just the NBA..but for all of the sports world.

We applaud you....Commissioner Adam Silver!

From the Huffington Post:

Game 5: Hawks beat Pacers 107-97!

The Atlanta Hawks beat the Indiana Pacers in Indiana - again! Now lets win game 6!
Forward, Paul Millsap takes it to the hoop!


Now...Do You Believe?

Mind boggling...Extra ordinary...Bizarre....Truly unbelievable!

Things being said about this Atlanta- Indianapolis series.

Still...on the national stage...the ATL is getting little love.  It's all about the monumental collapse of the Pacers...the number one seed.

From last night:

 

Three Hits: Hawks continue road success against Pacers
For the third time this month, and second time in the postseason, Atlanta has gone to Indianapolis and come away with a win. This time it was a dominating 107-97 victory in Game 5 that puts the Hawks one win away from the second round.

Don't Look Now...But These Braves are 17-7

17 wins...7 losses.  The 2nd best record in all of baseball.  We had a feeling the Atlanta Braves would be decent this year...but.

Hey...as Bill Parcells would say, "You are what your record says you are"!


single in 10th lifts Braves past Reds


APR 27, 5:45p ET | Cory McCartney
Three Cuts: Freeman
It took 10 innings before anyone's bats could come through. But Freddie Freeman delivered with a walk-off single as the Braves beat the Reds 1-0 in a game dominated by starters Johnny Cueto and Julio Teheran.

Just Another Stupid...Old White Man

By now, everyone ...everyone who does not live under a rock...or in the wilderness of Australia or Africa...has heard the latest fiasco in the sports world.

One old white dude...Donald Sterling...allegedly...made some quite unpopular comments relating to blacks...and more specifically...to one Magic Johnson.

Here is our take...and a few facts:

#1.   Is it really his voice.   TMZ.com?  Really

#2.  This was...a private conversation...between Sterling and his 1/2 Mexican, 1/2 Black girlfriend.

#3.  How does this sh*t...get out?

#4.  Donald Sterling is what he is.  A rich Jewish white man who may not hate Blacks... But he isn't inviting any over for dinner any time soon.

#5.  The NBA knows...and knew who Donald Sterling is and was.  

#6.  Before this year...after the Los Angeles Clippers started winning...nobody in the general public knew who this guy was.

#7.  As long as their paycheck never bounced....the Clippers players and coaches never complained before.

#8.  Mr. Sterling...this coming week will read a prepared statement...apologizing profusely...Bank on it.

#9.  If the NBA tries to take his team from him...Mr. Sterling will sue the hell out of the NBA...and win.

#10.  The Clippers were so motivated today...Right?   Lost 118-97.
