Hope versus Expectations -- Another Poll


"Do not expect too much from me, and you will not be let down."  I love typing, saying, humming and singing that Gin Blossoms lyric. 

I'm looking around and seeing posts about Earl Clark and rivalries and Skywalker/Yoda allusions to the Lakers.  I had been thinking about this and it was about time to chime in.

What would you rather have?

The world is schocked -- Tony Parker's Comrades Cheat, Too

Henry, a close friend of San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker, patted the ball down like a basketball player before remembering to use his feet.

Anywhere I go, I cannot get away from the Sp*rs.  I suppose that's my lot in life.

The JYD Bark


What I can't figure out is why the PA doesn't have a bark every time Dudley makes a hustle play.

Amundson has got the "Louuuu!" thing.

LB gets a "beep, beep"

Dudley yelps and barks if he gets a box out that prevents the other team from grabbing a rebound, resulting in a Suns' side-out.

He deserves a bark.  Let's vote on it.

If I was talented like Stan, I might have included clips so everyone could hear what I'm sayin'



Poll
Which bark is most appropriate for JYD?
Jane's Addiction -- Been Caught Stealin' (particulary appropriate for defensive plays)
44 votes
Ozzry Osbourne -- Bark at the Moon (evil, just evil)
28 votes
Led Zeppelin -- Communication Song (the beginning part)
4 votes
Werewolf in London -- Warren Zevon (for all you 'Yotes fans)
20 votes
Gin & Juice -- Snoop-a-Loop ('cause there's so much drama in the LBC)
26 votes

I guess this explains the recent issues with Ellis and Jackson a little better. And adds legitimacy to the Curry trade speculation.

CBA CLE Basics

Pam_8092_medium

I recently went to a Continuing Legal Education course put on the Suns.  In addition to getting one of the fifteen hours I need every year, I got this picture, a sales pitch and I heard Steve Kerr use the phrase "salary dump."  I thought I'd take a minute to pass on some of the highlights of the CBA, because it was eye-opening to me.

Another Goggles Update

08091029_gi_stoudemire_medium 

JSun2 has been diagnosed with bilateral amblyopia.  Which apparently means that since we've caught it now, he should have fairly normal vision if he consistently wears his corrective lenses (glasses) for a few years.  If we hadn't caught this within the next couple of years, though, it could have caused him to go legally blind.

In an effort to cheer him up about wearing glasses, I went searching for images of Amare dunking with glasses on.  I was having trouble finding anything in action (most of it was just him interviewing with glasses or goggles on).  The good people over at the Suns' marketing department found this one of Stoudemire going over Duncan.  Double bonus.  I hope you can enjoy.

I just ran across this. I tend to believe Lewis, but NBA news is slow so here it is.
