ESPN bumps the Warriors from national TV broadcast
Instead of broadcasting the 12-16-09 Warriors vs Spurs game on national TV as previously planned, ESPN has chosen to broadcast the Kings vs Wizards instead. No love for our dubs....
Question For Anyone Who Has Ever Played Organized Football as a Place Kicker
At the end of the Texans vs Titans game tonight, Matt Schaub chose to "center" the football by taking the snap, taking a few steps to his right, and downing the ball in the middle of the field between both hash marks, thereby giving his kicker a straight on kick from about 50 yards as opposed to a kick from the left hash mark. My question is this: Do field goal kickers always prefer a kick from straight on? Or are there kickers who play a "draw" or "fade" to use golf analogy. (Some golfers prefer to tee up on the left side of the tee box, others the right.) I have to believe that not all kickers prefer a "straight on" kick; that some would prefer to kick from either of the hash marks. However, I've never seen a team choose to move the ball from the left hash mark to the right, or right to left to play to a kicker's strength or preference. Teams always choose to center the ball. Do all kickers prefer a kick from straight on?
J-Rich or Morrow?
There's no doubt that Anthony Morrow is a fan favorite and deservedly so. The guy is as pure a shooter as they come. Going into tonight's game, Morrow is 2nd in the league in 3 point shooting percentage just ahead of our old friend Jason Richardson who is 3rd in the league. This made me wonder. For the sake of this poll, let's overlook the fact that their salaries don't match. Assuming both will continue to shoot 3's equally as well for the remainder of the season, given the opportunity, would you trade new fan favorite Morrow to get old fan favorite J-Rich back? I'm having a tough time with this question as I think most GSOMers will too.
Warriors are 3rd most fun team to watch according to ESPN SportsNation
There is currently a poll on ESPN.com that asks "Which NBA team is the most fun to watch?" The choices are the Celtics, Lakers, Nuggets, Suns, and our Warriors. Current results from ESPN SportsNation show the Warriors are currently in third place, yes a ridiculous third, with only 15% of the votes. The Suns are currently in second place while the Lakers are in first with approximately 40% of the votes. Submit your vote and tell the rest of the world who WE BELIEVE to be the most exciting team in the NBA!
