I hope this series gives us some moments like there are in these video clips from game 4 of the 87 NBA finals.

Lots of hall-of-famers on the floor here:

YouTube - Chick Hearn's call of Baby Hook (1 of 2)

This still bugs me after 23 years...watch Ainge blatantly carry the ball @ 7:07 in this clip and not get called for it. You can see his hand under the ball, and he takes 3 or 4 steps between dribbles...at a full run.
YouTube - Chick Hearn's call of Baby Hook (2 of 2)

I really miss seeing that up tempo style of basketball played. You don't see passing like this anymore either.

Most of all, I miss hearing Chicky Baby call the games. Nobody is even close.

Saw that on our local news this morning. Lots of hail near Omaha. I hope all your stuff is okay.

Me too. I can't listen to the games on the radio any more because I can't "see" them. The current guys are okay on TV IMO.

2 day's ago The Clutch went out on my mom's car on our way to School, it wouldn't go in any gear, or anythin'. Which required me to get out and push the car into a near by parkin' lot in front of 300 kids whom were all laughin'...
Anyways, My mom's friends are over here and they got it up on jacks and are fixin' it, the person who previously installed it installed the clutch fork on wrong, and the throw out bearin' was in kinda crooked so it busted the teeth off the pressure plate.
I bet this is gonna be a nightmare....
That also explains why the clutch was so stiff, I drove this car, and it was STIFF, it should be nice & smooth....

When was the last time you saw a winning run score on a balk?

Me? Never.

Yeah, that was something.

The Dodgers have been having a pretty good streak of luck lately, but that won't get the job done come Fall.

The Doyers and the Diamondbacks are tied up 0-0 in the bottom of the 14th right now. Got a lead off man on base...maybe it'll come to an end in a bit

I've never seen a pressure plate with teeth, so I didn't really have anything to add.

See The Clutch Fork, That was installed improperly, and it caused the throw out bearin' to go into the pressure plate crooked.

It's a shame to have to go 14 innings to beat what could be the worst team in baseball, but a win is a win....swept the series.
