It's common practice here on the East Coast that sports enthusiasts sleep through the midnight West Coast games and read the accounts of the results the following morning.
I was particularly interested in the Kings/Clips game as I roster Fox and Sabonis in a year-long Best Ball league. In a nutshell that's a great contest, my entry is one of five in a five-way logjam for the top spot, but that's another story for another day.
7:00 am, roll out of bed, go through the usual morning routine, you know, hit the header, grab some coffee, log on and check the personal and business emails, check the bank accounts, look out the window to make sure some foreign country hasn't leveled us overnight...
Before I digress (or is it too late for that?) I proceed to check out NBA.com for the West Coast results.
SAC 176 LAC 175 (2 OT)
Knee jerk reaction #1 "WTF, are you kidding me here, where's the defense"?
Knee jerk reaction #2 "These are All-Star game numbers, I thought they did that last week"?
Not everybody likes to watch the NBA's version of a 4 x 100 track meet, there are still a lot of us that appreciate team defense.
Looking at the box I see 76 three-point shots were attempted, of which 45 of those shots were failures.
It just may be me, but I really don't care to watch one player shoot, and the other nine players on the court stand around picking their asses while the ball is in the air.
As I said, it just may be me though.
