Observations from courtside

On Friday we managed to win the Golden Tickets being handed out as schwag for the last fan forum of the year and ended up sitting in KR2, about eight feet from the floor.

I was kind of surprised to the extent to which Mikki Moore was working the team on the defensive end, mostly giving head's up as the play developed. Usually all I hear from him from my cheap seats or the TV is "oh SHIT" under the basket. Likewise, Francisco was working guys up for rallies on the bringback when he was working PG.

Sheldon Williams was perhaps the most troubling from that distance -- dude looked confused down there. Hawes's bitching at the refs seemed out of place as well. The NBA needs to bring back the "no talk" rule. I've seen far too many instances of guys running back down the court jawing over the last play with the refs instead of keeping their head in the play that's unfolding at the moment...

bitching at the refs and the quick "T"

I'm with you - I hate watching the endless whining on every single foul. I had no problem with the quick "Ts" they were given at the beginning of the season past. I'm sick of watching guys bitch and moan long after a play is over.

I get the feeling that Spencer is going to turn into a huge shit-talker - both to opponents and to refs. One thing he SHOULD NOT learn from Brad is that cry baby, bitch-after-every call BS.

But, hey, that's just me: old school.

Old School

I agree... Brad whines a lot, way too much for my liking
Spencer should not pick that up
Just play well enough to earn the respect of the officials
The problem...he plays for the Kings, which automatically puts him at a disadvantage

Are you the orignal OL?

or a clone?

Either way I find you humorous, but for different reasons.

If you are the Wiki nazi, not so much. (Now that the whole Wiki article disappeared.) Still funny though for the stick up your ass attitude, given your first diary.

If you're a clone of the Wiki nazi, you're far more humorous. Again, given your first diary.

No linkage, I'm old skool too.

God bless you, Corliss. You always played as though you knew how expensive my tickets were. -section214
