ut-oh (TM)...you are making me dizzy again.



This is for real?

Pure brilliance from America's team....they all played. Even the kid from the Congo and the white American saw action for the first time all year, he even scored!! 115-101 with the bench dominating once again completely.

Tristan goes back to his home land tomorrow for a grudge match against one of the teams that beat us. Think he'll put on a show for his home boys.

[horseofcourse]

oh wow, 7 game road trip now...the reign of America's Team could be winding down!

I saw the box score.


Don't be a Road Ricky!!












AMERICA'S TEAM

[horseofcourse]

I read this and got very happy....

4. Cleveland Browns: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor: The Browns are locked in to the fourth pick. Though you could make the argument that Colt McCoy had no weapons and he’s not to blame for yet another lost season by the Lake, I can’t see the Browns passing on Griffin if he’s available at No. 4. Washington or Miami may be willing to trade St. Louis three to four picks for Griffin’s rights, but if they don’t, he won’t escape the top four. Everyone knows about Griffin’s incredible athleticism and character, but his arm strength is vastly underappreciated. Griffin throws a fantastic deep ball. His arm can battle those late-December Cleveland winds. There’s a lot to love about Griffin; a lot of teams will be vying for him. If he ends up a Brown, the Dawg Pound will be doing flips.

I saw one of his passes in the bowl game...they ran for 500 yards so he didn't have to do too much!! but he rolled LEFT, stopped on a dime and threw a frozen rope 50 yards downfield. I really needed to see no more. I'm prepping for American's Team 3.

Then if he's there...why not?



Would like to also see them scrap the WC and Mr. Rogers.Holmgrem is not doing sa hot.A wide out who can give a mild scare to defenses wouldn't hurt.Couple good O.L's would be nice,too.Think we will need another no. 1 RB.


So the offense is probably only about 3 years away.


If.

America's Team point guard production this year...although Irving gets all the ink and rightly so, no real dropoff when Sessions plays....here's what they're getting per game from that two-headed position...

26 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists.

It appears Sessions has handled his demotion to the bench very maturely and professionally. You couldn't say that about all Cavs in the past about handling stuff maturely

Tristan's gonna have to work on that 38 percent free throw stuff though, he's gonna get fouled in this league.

I do remember they were 4-3 last year at one point too, so I am prepared for the coming eventuality, but there's some signs I think. The lottery guys took their talents to the north coast. There were no signs at all last year. It would be best if they do collapse and get another top 5 pick next year and they're right there and will be where Oklahoma City is right now in a couple years. (and then they'll all leave as free agents, but at least for a year they'll be right there!!)

IN the end, I actually really like this NBA season, playing 4 or 5 games a week and starting on Christmas instead of Halloween, it's a lot more fun to follow than it ever has been for me anyway.

Only 3 more months until Grady Sizeless' first at bat!! (I wonder if I'll have to type Talbots this year?)
