Youth over experience rarely happens in the NBA playoffs. But it does when your young guns are led by the best finisher in the game today, Kevin Durant. Stu Vetter, Durant’s high school coach at Montrose Christian, is smiling tonight. In a losing effort Stephen Jackson for San Antonio was fantastic hitting 6 threes and solely keeping the Spurs in the game as OKC made its run. Just a feel good story —-so far.

It seems like many Terrapin club members are opting for seats upstairs between the lines rather then sitting behind the basket. For those of you still waiting for your selection day, when the lowers are gone there will be many great seats in the lower rows of the 200 level. At one point I … Read More »
I was at a Wizards (NBA team in Washington) game a few years back against the Celtics. Down by 2 with seconds left, Paul Pierce was blanketed by 2 Bullets, he steeped back and fired a 40 footer through the twine and the Celts won. He is the most underrated clutch player in the game and it was his 3 point dagger that virtually sealed the win over the Heat in Game 5. When it comes to crunch time the … Read More »
What was JJ thinking in the 9th, Saltalamacchia was fouling off pitch after pitch never being fooled by Johnson. Then JJ served up a gopher ball which tied the game up. Remarkably the O’s scored 2 in the 10th and won the game. This game had loss written all over it. Only Buck can keep pulling rabbits out of the hat.
For those critics of the NBA game, you should have been watching tonight’s 5th game of the best of 7 series between San Antonio, the “Old Guard” and the Thunder. The Spurs looked old, slow and way to dependent on Manu Ginobli. Kevin Durant barely touched the ball in the final minutes relying on clutch shots from super sub James Harden. Don’t count the Spurs out just yet. The close out game can be brutal.
Kevin Mooney and Alex Robinson, who have signed National Letters of Intent to attend the University of Maryland this fall, have been named Gatorade State Baseball Players of the Year in Maryland and New York, respectively.
