Nets def Hornets on team effort without Johnson

brooklyn-netsWith overall more energetic and consistent effort the Nets defeated a feisty New Orleans team …. that at times seemed to be knocking on the door of a road win.

Williams had another good game plus low turnovers and solid play by Lopez, Wallace and the bench saw the Nets end with some room to spare at the final buzzer.

Marshon Brooks got some more minutes and the Nets got some more points as a result. Does PJ get it yet?

The Mirza Teletovic mystery experiment continued … and while a significantly more valuable Kris Humphries continues to sit and stagnate, a Teletovic dunk attempt was embarrassingly blocked at the rim adding to his growing list of sub-par performances.

Teletovic is a defensive liability and should be shooting the three every time he gets the ball if he wants to impress.

Joe Johnson will have four more days to rest his sore heel until Sundays game against his ex-team the Hawks.

The rookie point guard Evans played poorly prompting PJ to bring Derek Williams back on the court sooner than anticipated.

Wallace bounced back from a lackluster performance against the Sixers that saw him sit out the fourth quarter and I suspect he’s playing bruised; something no one will ever find out from him.

A good night for Net fans.

Be a Father on Dad’s day …. give yourself a present …

Be a Father on Dad’s day …. give yourself a present …

For me Father’s day means doing something for my children …. being a Dad … and doing something I’ve always thoroughly enjoyed … making my kids smile and surprising them.

I don’t want to be a target for corporate marketers ….. but we have little choice … and the kids really need every penny they can save for that down payment on a car or a home …. and in these times even food or health care or a safety net in case of unemployment.

The meaning of being a Father or Mother is lost in all the commercial hype. Thoughtfulness is all that’s wanted and needed … nothing more.

That’s what life is about today …. a time for we Dad’s to step up and take action.

We are over the hump .. but not over the hill …. money becomes much less important than life as we grow older … we realize money can’t buy us the things we cherish most. But the youngsters still have to learn the importance and value of thoughtfulness.

The surprise and appreciation of an unexpected gift to your child is much more valuable and powerful than the gift itself …..

Imagine the look on your children’s faces when they are handed a present on Fathers day …..

I can’t thing of any better present to give my self on Father’s day!
Can you?

Reaching

We each don’t reach enough. By that I mean that we confine ourselves both physically and mentally to what we know, are familiar with, feel comfortable with, is safe and is predictable. Reaching in and out takes effort … it’s … Continue reading
