Why didnt the Spurs Foul?













Why oh Why didn't the spurs foul???  The Nuggets
got the rebound with 27.8 seconds left, they got the
ball over halfcourt with  17.9 seconds, and the Spurs
just didn't foul.

This is basic Basketball, I mean it should be automatic,
it should come naturally, it should be stuck deep somewhere
in the subconscious, in this suitation you foul and you foul
as quick as possible, this is not Basketball from the 50's, you
can pull back a lead quite easily.

The Spurs had an outside chance here,  but couldnt get up
a shot even when the Nuggets missed, they let the Nuggets
run out the clock.

I'm speechless, I'm without speech.

Not since the Nelson Giants  who were once down by four
and had possession and didn't even get up a shot, have I
been this much in shock.

Staggering!!

Maybe its time to do a #ClassicNBA  tag along with the
#ClassicNBL tag?

Gotta Love the Playoffs.

The Spinoff Confuses Me

Image
Over the past few years, I have occasionally gone over to the website, "The Spinoff" and nearly every time the website has left me in a state of confusion, when normally I am in a state of denial. The website seems to read like it's coming from the old "Social Credit" party manifesto, but that isn't what confuses me, I guess the easiest way to explain is to give examples. Take the Horrific Christchurch shooting, my old home town  acted with grace and dignity and an outpouring of love and support for the victims and their community, as they should. Writers from the spinoff, wrote the same, beautiful pieces of how we should come together and support each other. But the same writers, had totally different opinions of other Terror attacks around the world, they had previously written on their own blogs and social media, that no sympathy should be given because of  a country's  foreign policy and that it was somehow racist to give thoughts to that country and

Hey Kid Get Ya Feet off the Table

Image
Words fail me, but I'm going to write something anyway. I kinda blame society for thinking that kids taking Selfie's is a great idea, and it breeds confidence, I actually think it breeds obnoxious. I was in a pub/restaurant not so long ago, and this group of people were there, mainly adults, ages ranged from about 65 to around 12. They were all nicely dressed, there were two kids, one a girl in her teens and a boy aged about 12, he seemed to be better dressed than the adults, he had one of those bowler hats on. Anyway, I was there with my group, there were two other groups there at the time. This kid had decided to play a rather loud game on his cell phone, loud enough that everyone else turned around to see where the noise was coming from, he for some reason, was nodding his head up and down saying "Yeah yeah" like he just achieved something really important. I looked around every so often, as other people did, and he was talking to other people at this table, but he

RJ Hampton signs with the New Zealand Breakers

Image
I'm speechless, I'm without speech.  This is massive news, I hope the New Zealand media knows how huge this is. The greatest High School Player on the planet is coming to play for the New Zealand Breakers in the Australian NBL. He was activity recruited by Kentucky, Duke and Kansas and was expected to go to Kansas, when he annoucned he didn't want to go to college it was widely expected that he would go straight to the NBA. Instead he announced he wants to play Pro ball outside the USA, and the team that has landed this superstar is our very own the New Zealand Breakers!! Every game should be a sell out to see this young man who will achieve superstardom.  What this also does is change history, players leaving High School, who aren't interested in college, now have a option to play professional ball overseas. As a Basketball fan this has floored me, I was literally stunned and speechless. So many great things are happening with New Zealand Basketball at the moment, and
