Just a round up of my weekend activities. Strikes and Gutters you know. Roll it out!

JV Girls Basketball is a joke. It's a huge joke with two class C schools who clearly don't practice. I dragged my wife out to the middle of no where to watch me ref this sport the girls tried to play called basketball. If I was gonna be tortured than she was gonna be tortured too. It was beyond bad. The one PG on the away team would travel every time which lead to a travel being called on almost every play. You try and only call the obvious ones since you don't wanna be there all night but out of 50 travels I think we called 35 of them. Of course we had about 25 jump balls. After every REB the ball would ping ball around on a bunch of hands and fall to one of the girls by random like a game Plinko, than followed by a jump ball. Neither teams ran plays. Not even sure it was worth the money, despite the free hot dog and pop corn.

Bulls and Michigan both played at 8pm. I had to choose what to DVR and what to watch. I can't stand switching back and forth. So since the Bulls were playing the Heat I went with Derrick Rose and The Bulls. I am glad I did...


The Bulls had to beat the Heat with Lebron being a baby and sitting on the bench dressed in a $5,000 suit crying about a tweaked ankle. All the pressure was on them to beat the Heat. Derrick Rose and Booz did not disappoint. The Bulls lead the game for much of it but the Heat would go on small runs by hitting good timing 3s to keep it close. Bosh was knocked out at the start of the 4th when the Bulls back up center Asik dove on the floor for a loose ball and rolled up Bosh's ankle. Bosh after the game like a true baby  and lazy ass had these glorious quotes.

"C'mon, that is how guys get hurt, that is how serious injuries happen," Bosh said.

"You've got to watch people's legs. I know guys want to hustle and everything but we all want to play and provide for our families and have a job."

"We all want to be healthy and that is very important," said Bosh, who had 11 of his 17 points in the third quarter before the injury. "If it is by some body's leg, don't dive for the ball, it's too close."

 Bosh stop being such a little bitch. Go collect your paycheck. You are the reason the NBA gets a bad rep.  In the end it was Rose and Wade who ended up dueling down to the wire, those are the things that make the NBA great. Rose would come down with his trade mark speed and power for a and one at the hoop. Next Wade would come back with a tough three. Kyle Korver hit a huge three that gave the Bulls a win in the end for a great Bulls win.



Michigan Basketball brought zero energy. IU looked like they were all hopped up on Mt.Dew while Michigan was sleep walking. Thank god I DVR so I could fast fwd through the million IU FTs. Michigan just looked lazy and tired. I put 75% of that on the coaches. Gotta get the team ready to play. Must match the IU energy. They just didn't. Morris had some nice stats but for most the game he looked like a sophomore. Michigan struggles at time since they don't have a good swing man who can get to the hoop. Only Morris can get and make anything happen at the rim. The rest of the wings are jump shooters who haven't shot that well for the better part of 2 years(ok just Stu and Novak). Morgan played alright but still get his fair share of dumb fouls. It was just a very bad effort after playing OSU and Kansas. Just forgot this one and move on.

Sunday was our couples baby shower. That went very well. I am now watching my wife put together a pack and play which is fun. I will have a live blog tonight at 12am est.
