Nothin but Net

I enjoy basketball. I used to watch it all the time, but now that I am married to a man who is allergic to sports, it's rather difficult ... :o)
It's hard being a woman and explaining something "manly" to a man ... Oh, well. He doesn't care whether he understands it; I think he enjoys me explaining it as well as yelling at the TV :op

I love the Saracuse Orangemen and the New York Knicks.
And since I am a New York fan, it's rather difficult watching my teams play without spending bookoo bucks all year.

What a love the most is the squeeky sound of the sneakers on the court ... what a sound.

And the announcers ... "Nothin but net!"

And the fans waving funky balloons and signs behind the foul line to distract the shooter ... although I think the only one it worked for was Shak ... sorry, but what a bad free throw shooter he was .... I'm glad I have never been a fan of one of his teams ...
I don't know the stats, but I know they weren't good. He compensated for it in other ways on the court, though.
It was fun watching others play against him. I remember one game when he was with the Lakers. That game was super close and the other team actually fouled him on purpose because they knew he wouldn't make the free throws... poor guy ... oh the tactics of basketball.
Evil .... and so mean.

To foul someone on purpose ... how rude. :o)

Hey, they use similar tactics in football; it's called "Time out" when there is less than 2 minutes left on the clock in the fourth quarter ... oh man! It get's the other team's jock straps in a bunch!
It's fabulous!

I love sport! (well, except for soccer, lacross and tennis)

I can't wait for baseball season to actually begin.... I miss watching my Yankees play!
By far, the best team in the nation!
Now if I could only say that about the Buffallo Bills!
and no ... Pastor Byron, I will not convert over to the winning side with Dallas; I'd feel like a trader ... even though I do love their colors ... the coordinate with everything.
:o)

I love sports!
