Graduation night at Notre Dame has resulted in a new picture alongside this tweet with consumption by granddaughter & Pops of a fine Excalibur Black Knight and a pint of Murphy’s Stout from Ireland. Life can’t get better.
Anthony Volpe is a perfect example of being given unearned chances to succeed by being a first round draft pick. My Cardinals have stayed with Nolan Gorman way too long. 1606 AB’s, .215 BA (like Volpe) & and incredible 612 K’s. Over 38% and so-so defense.
Jalen Brunson changed perceptions last night. On the road against a more talented team with not a single teammate having an above average game he did what great players do when needed — provided a championship performance.
My opinion of why the Spurs dominated early in every game. Wemby is such a force on defense when fresh. He can guard at the rim & out to the 3 point line. As he weakens so does his effectiveness.
Watching Meet the Press. If I had any strengths as an interviewer one was my requiring a question to be answered. DIRECTLY. Politicians excel at deflecting and rushing to talking point policies that have NOTHING to do with questions
Too old to have m heart tested like a “closer” come into the game in the 9th inning with a 9-5 lead and throw 12 of his first 16 pitches out of the strike zone.
Read the Knicks hope to be the first team in FORTY EIGHT years to win it all without a player getting a single MVP vote. In 46 years only the Pistons in 2004 won the title without a player being voted a first team all NBA team. T E A M.
What to watch for — Brunson’s best moments have come when Castle is not on the court. No one else can bother him. But foul trouble limited him to 26 minutes & JB went off.
Mike Brown has made so many terrific decisions, none better than going with Alvarado in the 4th. But NEEDING a basket after a TO with :06 left he had his big 3 out there with Bridges & Shamet who have done nothing for 2 games. Still won. Touch of gold.
Big night for Ryan Stanek for the Cards. His 3rd pitch — 3 run homer to blow a 7-4 lead in the 7th. Cards score in the 8th & he gives up two more homers to the first three hitters in the bottom of the 8th. Nice job Stano.
Can’t wait to watch this one. Opening game for the US National team is against Paraguay. The NYPost writer who covers soccer predicts an American win. ONE TO NOTHING. I might have it scoreless decided by corner kicks.
The Brunson problem is even worse than I thought. He has taken 44 shots in three games after dribbling at least six seconds. The second highest player to dribble that long and shoot is Fox of the Spurs — 13 shots. Keeps the ball 38.4%, season 31.3. Hero ball.
30 years plus. Not 1% of change. Reaction to the verdicts of murder charges against OJ Simpson & a teenager in Texas. Totally based on race. Why the hatred to fellow human beings. Obvious I will never live to even see that 1% of change. SAD
Coach Brown’s quote after game 3 — one guy caught and held, held, held, held. He’s done it all 3 games coach. He is a great offensive player whose value was accelerated this year due to your coaching philosophy. Better get him to share the ball. QUICKLY
Brunson had a terrific 4th quarter in game one. The other 11 quarters — hero ball. Not going to win. After 3 games, 30 of 81, 82 points and a cumulative minus 13, 19 in the last two games. Coach Brown emphasized ball movement and it is not happening.
Brunson going hero ball ala Kobe. He’s a marvelous offensive player when not trying to be the show. Thought he was trying to see if he could dribble the air out of the ball.
Anunoby & Towns with a combined 23 shots. Brunson with 25. Too much dribbling. Not enough passing. Ball movement. Player movement. The Knicks winning percentage is much higher when Brunson takes less than 20 shots. Game high 5 turnovers.
