Hockey Special Teams
Corsi Charts: Michigan Hockey Games 3 & 4
So I'm finishing up the chart for the first game of the series on Wednesday night. I had Fox Sports Detroit on before I started watching the game on my DVR, which I thought nothing of because it's pretty typical for me to have Fox Sports Detroit on. After I finish charting, however, I hit stop on the recording and the Red Wings game comes on and PRETTY MUCH BURNS MY RETINAS WHY IS THIS ICE SO BRIGHT. Hockey in high def is most definitely not what Fox Sports College Atlantic or whatever it was was broadcasting for these Michigan games. Like Brian said in his post, it was basically like watching a legal stream. That wandering anecdote was my way of saying that the Corsi charts have some values that may not be perfect. I'm not really concerned though, as there are things that I may have marked a shot that missed the net or vice versa that even each other out in the overall numbers. This is why I don't change numbers in the shots column to match the official score sheet; it should work itself out when considering all of the categories.

Assorted Thoughts
- Things that are good: spending time not in the penalty box. Things that are bad: spending time in the penalty box. Of UNH's 37 shots 11 came on the power play. Of their misses, 7 of 21 came on the power play. Of UNH's blocked shots, 7 of 14 came on the power play. That's 29.7% of their shots, 33.3% of their misses, and 50% of their blocks. Worried about being outshot? Try to keep five guys on the ice.
- Even though Michigan was handily defeated in terms of possession, the game was a little more open than the numbers indicate. A lot of this game was played in the neutral zone, with each team trying and failing to create an offensive zone presence. An argument could be made, however, for UNH carrying the play because whoa that third period was rough. Michigan was circling and circling and circling in the defensive zone and I had to keep pausing the recording so I could mark more stuff down for UNH.
- UNH's numbers look pretty dominant in overtime but we're looking at a five minute sample. UNH had possession but I can't remember any part of OT where I thought Michigan dodged a bullet.

Assorted Thoughts
- This was a game of extended periods of back-and-forth punctuated by furious bursts of offensive zone activity. Michigan looked like they were handily outplayed in the second period (especially the second half of the second period, where they couldn't clear the puck for anything) and the numbers bear this out. At one point UNH went on a tear of four consecutive shots on goal in what had to be under a minute. It looked like the tide of the game may have been turning, but the clock mercifully ran out.
- UNH picked up where they left off and generated a number of chances early in the third period. Their offensive zone time came in smaller bursts, however, and the game transitioned back to an up-and-down affair. Michigan eventually got their own extended offensive zone time and ended up with a slight advantage overall in Corsi for the period.
- Special teams were the theme of Friday night but weren't a factor after the first two periods on Saturday. In the first period 12 of Michigan's 21 shots (57.14%) came on the power play. In the second period 10 of UNH's 25 shots (40.00%) came on the power play. After that? Not even a power play opportunity for either team.
- I like Nagelvoort and his giant leg pads. They're like belly putters in golf; comedically oversized but effective in their own right.
Hockey Special Teams 2 - PK And Neutral Zone Basics
Hockey Special Teams 2: The Neutral Zone and Penalty Kill
In honor of the Stanley Cup Playoffs starting tonight, here's Volume 2. I saw the Wings utilize both the Umbrella PP and the Diamond PK, so I was inspired to write tonight.
For the first diary in this series, look here: http://mgoblog.com/diaries/hockey-special-teams-1-powerplay-basics
As was covered previously, there are many situations that can lead to a power play during a hockey game:
Any excuse for a SlapShot Clip
The job of the penalty kill is simple:
1. Don't let the puck into your zone
2. If the puck gets in your zone, get it out ASAP
3. If the other team possesses the puck in your zone, keep it out of the middle and get it out of your zone ASAP.
In this Diary I'm going to talk mostly about the neutral zone, only some about in zone formations. I mentioned that the obvious advantage of a powerplay is the extra man. The advantages of the defense are that 1, you can ice the puck with no penalty to kill time and 2, you can just focus on defense.
2 may seem obvious, but it's not. Even-strength hockey is a lot like basketball. It's a very fluid game, transitions happen instantly, scoring chances are often even, games can be up and down or slow. Suddenly with a penalty, the gameplay turns. There is a defined offense and defense. The offense should score. The defense is trying to stop them. Occasionally the defense scores (anyone have numbers on shorthanded goals per pk vs. defensive touchdowns per drive?) but the main goal is just to stop the offense from scoring. The other thing to keep in mind is the line rules. The offense has to cross the red line to dump the puck (or they ice the puck) and the puck has to cross into the zone before any offensive players do (offsides). The PK can use this to their advantage as I explain below.
In the defensive zone
This is your most common defensive formation. A simple zone box, you try to keep the puck to the perimeter and prevent the offense from getting high quality shots. The arrows above illustrate the coaching adjustment if the Powerplay wants to play an Umbrella (see previous diary). The PK plays a diamond rather than a box. This pressures the QB and wing players and prevents the Umbrella from doing what it wants. If the PK shifts to a diamond, the PP shifts the PP, typically trying to create a 2-on-1 out of the corner.
General PK Bullet that belongs here:
- On the PK, you play under extreme control. If a defender gets out of position and makes a mistake, goals happen. That said, the PK has to play with controlled aggression. A good PK can dictate play. The easiest way to kill a penalty is to not allow the puck into your zone (segue alert) but importantly, the PK MUST capitalize on any mistake the offense makes. If a pass isn't crisp, if it's bobbled, if it's dribbling off a stick into a corner the penalty killer should attack and ice it ASAP. If the offense is able to repossess the puck, get back into your formation and wait for your next chance.
Neutral Zone Play
Here is where it gets really interesting. Most of Michigan's Powerplay problems stemmed from 2 things. 1, they didn't have an elite scoring defenseman (H/T to JimLahey, read his comments on the last diary) and 2, they couldn't get the puck into the zone. My high school team ran 4 different neutral zone penalty kills. I'm going to (quickly) go over 3 of them. Critical in special teams Neutral Zone Play are the lines. The offense doesn't want icing or offsides.
The I
We called this the I, just like the football formation (or something). In it when the PP begins their breakout, the first man waits between the tops of the circles and forces the defenseman to move the puck to one side. The second forward waits outside the zone and reads the first and pinches on that pass, trying to disrupt the break out before it reaches the red line. These players have to be patient and react to the breakout.
Again, your players need to be patient. You have 1 on the offensive blue line, 2 on the red line (or a step towards the offensive zone), and one near your own blue line. Again your front man has to read the breakout, and force it to one side. Once it's forced the man on the red line steps up before the puck gains the red line. This prevents the offense from chipping it in. Also you always have 2 men back since the man on the weak side should back up and become a defenseman. This formation is beatable though, most simply by sticking an offensive player at center ice. If the man who catches the first pass can make a good touch pass to the man at center, the offense has a 3-on-2 or better. If the PP doesn't have the passing ability, or a coach who wont adjust his breakout, this formation works like a charm. It was dominant on the high school level, and I just saw the Wings running it tonight.
Four Across
This formation is extremely passive and can give offenses fits. What this formation says is "you're not carrying the puck into the zone against us. You have to dump it." By challenging between the red line and defensive blue line, you invite the PP to dump the puck in. If you have fast defensemen, you can bait the offense into dumping it, win the race to the puck, and then ice it. Many pro teams use this to just slow teams down through the neutral zone. This gave Michigan fits, as they didn't have an elite puck handler a la TJ Hensick who could beat this with the puck on his stick. This makes the offense work to gain possession in the zone, and can wear down a first powerplay unit.
Those are some basic Penalty Kill set ups. Now for some general penalty kill bullets:
· The Wings ran a bunch of this tonight
I've gotten feedback here and on twitter that this has helped some folks already, hope you enjoy the playoffs. I'm a Blackhawks fan, but I'd love to see us meet in the WCF. And hey, I found out that I get CNBC. Who knew?
· The powerplay is a lot like football plays – constraints are huge
As I showed above, a lot of the formations are a chess match against each other. As I write this the Wings were in an umbrella look while Nashville ran a diamond in the zone. Forced a shot from wide.
· While on the Penalty Kill, keep the puck out of the middle
At all costs. Let the other team waste all the time they want in the neutral zone or near the walls in your end. Players don't score from behind the net (often). Players score from the hashmarks. Always defend inside out, and if it's close, be patient and stay defensive.
· 5-on-3 situations
The typical defensive formation is a rotating triangle. Think the Box, just with 3 guys. Depending on what the offense runs, you'll have 1 high 2 low, or 2 high 1 low. The triangle should rotate (you rarely recover to the zone you were in, you just keep moving). Ice it and get whistles. From the other diary: A 5-on-3 is a goal one way or the other. Everything mental I just mentioned about a normal powerplay is turned up to 11. A goal is scored, either by the offensive team or by the team that shut down the 5-on-3. The momentum swing and huge boost is as good as a goal, and I am not exaggerating. Many teams will run their normal powerplay, just condensed.
· From the other diary, still true: A Good goalie can muck all of this up
A team's best penalty killer is their goalie. Done. At 7:37 central time they even said this during the Wings game.
- A note on individual play
If you're coaching at all, or just watching, watch the front of the net during a PK compared to 5 on 5. In 5 on 5 you often see players tie each other up and wrestle for position. On the PK the defenseman should NOT lock up with the offensive players. You're already down a man, don't get stuck and create a 4-on-3 situation.
There's the PK diary. Again, please ask questions in the comments and add insight to it. A detailed breakdown of Michigan's struggles will come as I can get the pictures and videos together. Hopefully you've got some of the concepts to work with now.
Hockey Special Teams 1 - Powerplay Basics
[Ed-S: Gee golly willickers this guy knows his hockey. Bump Elliott'd]
I know it's not about Trey Burke... but Brian suggested I post it Monday night:
Hockey Special Teams 1: Power Play Basics
Brian recently asked me "What's wrong with Michigan's powerplay?" Since that is a complicated answer, I'll answer it in a 3 part Diary. This one focuses on the Power Play, the next will be on the penalty kill, and once I've explained those basics I'll dive into Michigan's specifics. There are many situations that can lead to a power play during a hockey game:
First, my hockey resume: I've been playing hockey for 20 years. I tried out for the club team at Michigan and was told I was the 2nd best goalie trying out, but they were only taking 1 that year (they might have told that to all the goalies). I played on Sunday nights at the Cube from 2006-2009, so if you played in that student league you probably played against me. I've done some coaching since graduation but had to take a break from that when I changed jobs. OK, enough about that. There are plenty of better hockey minds on the board (JimLahey comes to mind) who will hopefully chime in and add to what I've put together here.
All powerplays have 3 parts:
1. Establish possession in the offensive zone
2. ????????
3. Profit! Er. Score.
In this Diary I'm mainly going to focus on #2. In my diary on the penalty kill I'll talk more about #1 (and how to stop it). The obvious advantage of a powerplay is that you have an extra man. The objective becomes taking advantage of that extra man and getting him a scoring change in space. It comes down to spacing and angles. Forgive the Word Art, but a basic offensive zone powerplay formation is the "Umbrella"
In this formation you have 3 players high in the zone, with one in the middle. This formation works best if the man on the left circle is a right-handed shot and the man on the right circle is a left-handed shot as seen here:
Right now the wing players are on their "opposite" sides, which allows them to be open to a pass from the middle and one-time the puck right away. We used to teach our "Quarterback" – the player at the top of the umbrella – to shoot it right away the first time he got it and establish himself as a threat. You make the PK commit to the middle player and he'll have options on either side. In the above frame against Western, the WMU penalty killer approaching the puck is doing so after challenging the QB up top.
If you've got 5 minutes, this video does a good job of breaking down the Umbrella:
In the frame above, Michigan actually ran a different set off an umbrella look that lead to a goal. Rather than just cycling the puck among the top 3 guys, Michigan flipped the puck low and took advantage of what Western gave us. The same principles apply here though – get a scoring chance to a guy in space.
Another powerplay set up I learned as the "Swedish" play. This works well if you want to have 2 defensemen on the ice for the powerplay (like Red does) and you don't want to have them switch sides (right D man is on the right side)
Again, forgive the word art. This set up lulls the defenders to sleep and sets up a quick one timer for one of your defensemen. The play starts at the top middle with a right handed defenseman. The puck should move between the top 3 players for a while until the play starts. The top defenseman passes to his partner, who passes down the wall, who passes to the man in the corner – who should be a lefty in this case. As the puck works around to the corner a few things can happen depending on what the defense gives you. The player in the corner can drive the puck to the net, look for the man directly in front of the net, or drive hard around the net and find the crashing defenseman for a one-timer. This works because the puck has been busy rotating on the right for a while, and your top left penalty killer can be caught sleeping when the defenseman crashes. Again, creates a scoring chance in space.
Those are 2 basic powerplay set ups. Now for some general powerplay non-bullets:
You have to establish possession in the offensive zone
I mentioned this above, but that is really where Michigan struggled this year. This isn't nearly as easy as it sounds, as I'll try to show you in the upcoming "Penalty Kill" diary. It's a lot like breaking a press in basketball. There are a lot of different neutral zone kills, and the offsides rule really helps the defenders out.
The powerplay is a lot like football plays – constraints are huge
This will come into view with the "Penalty Kill" diary, but depending on what the offense is doing, the defense does something and vice versa. There are ways to break kills, kills designed to stop specific powerplays, etc.
Powerplays can be very mental and high pressure situations
You're supposed to score, you can press, you can play tight, and you can fail. Especially if a powerplay is struggling. Like THJ - when he was in his slump, everyone knew it, when he was open for a 3 he should make it, and stuff like that can become a self fulfilling prophecy. That's the mental part. The physical is more akin to the red zone or goal line football. Everything gets turned up a notch. Again, you're supposed to score and the defense turns it up too. Every little mistake gets jumped on - if you don't have a perfect clean pass the D pounces and you have to try to gain the zone again. As an aside, Michigan's PK was dominant against Ohio State in Cleveland, we were on every loose puck.
5-on-3 situations
A 5-on-3 is a goal one way or the other. Everything mental I just mentioned about a normal powerplay is turned up to 11. A goal is scored, either by the offensive team or by the team that shut down the 5-on-3. The momentum swing and huge boost is as good as a goal, and I am not exaggerating. Many teams will run their normal powerplay, just condensed. So rather than the umbrella being near the top of the zone, your middle guy is even with the top of the circles and your wings are closer to the dots.
A Good goalie can muck all of this up
A team's best penalty killer is their goalie. A goalie can affect a series more than any other player in any other sport. Some nights no matter what happens you're not scoring on a goalie. Sometimes this is awesome and Hunwick takes us far. Sometimes we run into the hot goalie and can't do anything about it.
Powerplays can get too fancy
Just like a basketball team trying to get a pretty play on a 3-on-1 break, the powerplay can be over thought and fail. Sometimes you just need to make the smart pass, or throw the puck at the net. Dirty goals are still goals. On the powerplay often players will try to go for the beautiful pass for a seamless one-timer… when what they should have done is throw the puck at the net at crash it.
That's it for my Powerplay Overview. I'll try to get the penalty kill diary up within about a week, followed by a breakdown of where exactly Michigan struggles.

Tony Stewart Foundation teams with Unique Auto Sports - Chance to Win a Camaro
That's looking sweet !!! Love the Strut grille. Looking good Will good job.
really thats all the pics? I need more!! haha it looks cool
Repost - Sry had to.
It does not look that great to me... but for $50, I will take it!
I went ahead and spent 50 bucks. What the hell.
Don't follow racing, so if I ever met Tony Stewart, I guess the only thing I could say to him is "I love your Burger King commercials"? |
1 in 10,000 odds to win .. not that bad
Nice. Worthy cause I'm all in....anyway, I could use another Summit White Camaro. GO Toney Stewart!!!!
I was just thinking the grille sucks, but I am not a bling bling person.
Def isn't the best looking car. If I won it I would sell it =X
I like the car, If I won it, I would drive it!
Is it manual or auto? Question....if you win an early bird prize, does that ruin your chances of winning the grand prize??? |
I bought a ticket. Can I meet Will Castro instead of Tony Stewart if I win? I've been teasing my wife that I want to get her a white camaro to go with our black one, maybe this is how I make it happen!
Not a fan of Unique nor that Camaro however... Luv Tony. Thanks for sticking with Chevy. Good Charity. Im in!
Oh, I'm in too. Thanks for (re) posting ;) Black & white :) I like it! |
what are the earlie bird prizes and when is the camaro drawing, the home page left out a lot.
Thats a good cause. I met Tony once a long time ago at a dirt track and he is a pretty down to earth car guy. I am in for a ticket.:w00t:
Bought my ticket this morning.
they need better photos of the car... ;)
Just bought a ticket :D
I'll send you better photos on 3/15 ;) Heck, it could be another 2010 Camaro for my birthday! :) |
I have never won anything so maybe i will get lucky, but to help and support a good cause i am in.
Plus if i won the grand prize i would keep that for a long time and be ever so grateful for good organizations like Unique and people improving the world like Tony Stewart. |
Good cause!! And who knows, I just may get to say I have two white 2ss's in the garage.
Hey, its my twin! LOL! Actually, I think mine will look a lot better when it's ready in 2 weeks. I purchased my ticket, too. Cheers!
Wow lots of people who already have a camaro and money are being greedy and not giving us poor people who dream of a camaro lol I bought one but if a lose atleast I contributed and that's also a win win.

Crews and city officials are working to preserve one of the oldest buildings in Reading after part of it came crumbling down.
A dozen people have been forced out of their homes when the building gave way at South 5th and Cherry Streets.
"It was a crash that happened suddenly and I felt it in my room," said Carmen Rosario, who was evacuated. "It sounded like a big glass crash so I thought it was a car."
The front of the building gave way around 11:30 p.m. Thursday, which left a pile of bricks and debris on the sidewalk.
Rosario and her 10-year-old grandson were forced out of their home into the cold rain Thursday night when part of the historic building gave way.
"I was sleeping and I was hearing a little bit of the rumbles," said David Medina, Rosario's grandson.
The American Red Cross helped 11 people find a temporary place to stay.
The building shifted when crews got on scene, which knocked a pile of rubble to the concrete. Gas, power and water were shut down to avoid a catastrophe.
The building was built in 1764 before the Revolutionary War. It's known as "The Daniel Rose House." Rose was a friend of George Washington and a clockmaker. He lived there in 1774.
"It's a very old, very historic building, very important to the city's heritage and we're taking every measure we can to preserve the building," said Brian Nicarry, a building inspector for the city.
According to city officials, the heavy rain that moved through the region may have caused the partial collapse.
A structural engineer was called in and a contractor was hired by the owners. The mission is to get the building stabilized because with even more rain in the forecast inspectors fear it could collapse at any moment.
"We are worried about that. That's why we're staying here, we're watching the scene and staying very close to it," said Nicarry.
Contractors will start to stabilize the building Saturday morning.

Ouch, Well, it looks like he showed them cops and good
I'm pretty certain that i could've made the three of them hurt enough that they would've simply killed me straight off.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
C'mon Zhuk we would all do the same.
Isnt it funny that no matter how old a man is that people still refer to him as the "boy" friend. After a certain age, shouldn't we call them the "man" friend or something. Maybe now this guy is her "it" friend. Ok, I'm sorry a little off target there. I like the story, its something we would all want to do........but our common pennies would probably tell us that it is a bad decision. Can't they just lock up their daughters in Germany?
It's like paradise on Earth, enriched with the ever so sweet nectar of elk urine. When you're out there by yourself, you become who you really are.
Should be refered to as the old pervert! Never heard of anyone ever dying from having their nuts cut off, I don't think John Wayne Bobbit died of his peckerotomy; but I guess you could call it attempted murder.
People get the government they deserve.
That man gets a proud fist bump from Tango.
That is just WRONG! I mean- a BREAD KNIFE???? That calls for a Gerber, Randall, Russell, possibly a Buck- or a well knapped bit of flint or obsidian. I would be willing to help sponsor an FTF trial- which is the best blade to cure the pervert hanging around your teenage daughter? Of course, since this WAS Germany, a well honed Mauser bayonet would not have been out of order......
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
I would think a tight rubberband for a month would work too!

Comics and Hollywood 3: Christopher Reeve's Superman
Posted by Midtown Comics in: Blog | No Comments
Why did people bother with Superman? He was an old-fashioned, goody-two-shoes with the personality of sliced bread. Sure, George Reeves made him popular in The Adventures of Superman, but that was during 1950s America. This was 1978. Why should a major film studio like Warner Brothers waste their time with a children's icon that was starting to become too square even for them? Well…he inspired hope during a period that wasn't very hopeful (the Depression). And, let's be honest, things weren't looking too great in 1978 either. A ton of resources were wasted on a war that was both unnecessary and unpopular (Vietnam), the Watergate scandal shook the confidence people had in their politicians, the economy was dipping hard, and of course there was the possibility of a nuclear showdown with the USSR just to make things worse. If people ever needed a good escapist fantasy, this was a good time.

High-flying Cards sink Laker boys
A potent Staples-Motley offense was too much for the Detroit Lakes boys' basketball team to handle in an 81-66 defeat of the Lakers Tuesday.
The Cardinals (10-1) scored from all over the floor, including 20 field goals and 11 three pointers in the victory.
DL maintained with S-M in the first half, trailing just 41-34 at halftime, but the Cardinals had too much firepower in the second for the Lakers to stay with them.

Another "Dream Team?" Or gold medal?As the Olympics are approaching, I began to think about USA basketball (since the Finals are over and I'm ready for more basketball). If someone told me that the Dream Team is dead and we will never see another one again and that the USA will never win in the Olympics again I would react similar to Chris Tucker in Rush Hour 3........minus the gun to the head (mainly because I do not own a gun). But to be honest, the USA team will never be like it was in the days of Jordan, Magic, and Bird. There most likely will never be another Dream Team.
It's not because we don't have good players on the team. Sure we don't have all the best, but you can't some players for not wanting to play because of the injury and fatigue risk. Still, we have some of best players like Kobe, LeBron James, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, etc. That's not the biggest problem though; it's team work. Back in the day, superstar players did have egos, but nothing like today. When they got together in the Olympic games, they were able to work together and set aside their egos (for the most part). Players now days just worry about what's best for them, and let their egos get the best of them. Another issue is lack of patriotism in players and fans now a days. It's nothing like it use to be. Fans and players are not as passionate about their country's teams as alot of other countries are. If they could ever just work together like they do with their NBA teammates, they could easily win another gold medal. The NBA has the best players in the world, and it's no question that they have what it takes to beat anyone else in the world. It's just that they don't want to work together. They just want try and do it all by themselves to make them look better. I wish that maybe one year, all the NBA's best players: Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, KG, LeBron, etc., all get together on the Olympic USA team and work together to win the gold medal again. I really want to see another "Dream Team." I just don't think we will ever see one again. What do you think? Also (not in poll) what do you think is the biggest problem with the USA basketball team?

Big B's Bad BoysSince everyone else is posting there teams, I guess I will to.
PG- Jason Kidd Top 5 All Time PG that has everything you want in a point guard. He is a great passer, good defender, and great floor general/leader. He can penetrate the D and kick it out to the open man, or he can run up the court and dish to the streaking man or alley oop it to the big man. He can play good D on any type of PG and has some good speed (this when he was in his prime, not now). He's not a great scorer, but he's not as useless any Ben Wallace either. He can shoot the 3 ball very well, and can make some good drives throw the lane sometimes. SG- George Gervin The Iceman. At first he was called "Iceberg Slim" because he looked like a pimp with that name, but it eventually became "Iceman" because he had ice in veins when he shooting. He won 4 scoring titles in his career, and only MJ and Wilt got more. Jerry West said that Gervin was the only player he would pay money to watch. Some of his former teammates and coaches said he could score so well, sometimes it looked too easy for him. They said sometimes it looked like he got bored out there because it was too easy. One coach even said he thought Gervin could score any time he wanted to. He is one of the Top 5 SG of all time, and one of the greatest scorers in history. SF- Grant Hill In Grant's first 6 years with the Pistons, he did things only a few have done in their careers. He became only the 3rd player behind Wilt and Elgin Baylor to lead his team in points, rebounds, and assists more than one year. Wilt and Hill are the only 2 players in history to lead their team in points, rebounds, and assists 3 times. After his first 6 season he got 9,393 points, 3,417 rebounds and 2,720 assists. Only Oscar Robertson and Larry Bird have done better in their first 6 years. In his 95-96 season he amassed 21.4 ppg 9.0 rpg 7.3 apg and 1.8 spg. He became only the 2nd player besides Larry Bird to ever have over 20 ppg 9 rpg and 7 apg in a season. Hill was much like Scottie Pippen, as he assumed the role of "point forward" where he ran the offense. After those season he became injury prone after hurting his ankle in the 99-00 season, but this tourney is when guys were in their prime. When he was in his prime, he was a great all around forward. PF- Jerry Lucas Jerry was not an athletic freak or flashy player, but was a hard worker and had great determination that helped him do what few have done. He was able to win a championship at every level of basketball; high school, college, and the pros (60's Olympics, not NBA title). Lucas was a great rebounder, and one of the great history in fact. His 15.6 rpg over his career ranks 4th all time behind Russell, Wilt, and Pettit. He even averaged over 20 rpg a few times as well in his career. Him and Pettit are the only forwards to ever do that. He is also the only forward in history to ever pull down 40 rebounds in a game. He was also a good scorer as well. To go along with his post moves, he can shoot very well from deep. In fact, the majority of his points were from long range. What's even more impressive is his 49.9% FG over his entire career while shooting mainly from outside the paint. Jerry could have won an NBA title, but was on a divided team when he was on the Cincinnati Royals with Oscar Robertson. This was when racism and prejudice were still a big deal. Even though most knew Robertson was the better player, Lucas was marketed as the team's star and leader. This upset Oscar because he felt it was due to him being black and Jerry being white. C- Hakeem Olajuwon Hakeem "The Dream" was one of the greatest players in history and one of the greatest defenders as well. He was one of the most athletic and versatile centers in history (if not the most). He is one of only 4 players to get a quadruple double in game; thus proving his versatility. He could score so well in the post with his great footwork and soft touch around the rim. Combine that with his great fakes and great offensive rebounding, he was feared force in the post on offense. But everyone knows it was his defense that really stood out. 2 time DPOY, Hakeem was a Top 3 all time defender. Not only could he block and rebound, but he could put pressure on his man and got quite a bit of steals as well. He could shut down the paint and could guard the perimeter as well. His great all around game earned him 2 titles and a MVP as well. In his 93-94 season, he became the only player in history to win the MVP, DPOY, and Finals MVP in the same year. BE- G Alvin Robertson Robertson was known for his great defense. He was one of the best defensive guards in history. He also has some versatility being 1 of only 4 players to have a quadruple double in a game. He led the league in steals 3 times in his career, and has the all time best steals per game average with 2.71 over his career. In 1986 he became the inaugural of the Most Improved Player award. BE- G Mo Cheeks Mo was one of the greatest defending PG's in history. He was much like Jason Kidd in not being know for his scoring, but more for his defense and great floor general/leader abilities. He took the 76ers to 3 NBA Finals winning 1 in 1983. His career numbers speak for themselves. He amassed 7,392 assists over his career putting him 9th all time in that. He also got 2,310 steals over his career putting him 4th all time in that; also with a 2.10 spg average putting him 10th all time. BE- F Michael Cooper Another great defender (it's kind of trend going on my team) that won the DPOY in 1987. His defense helped in the Lakers 5 championships. He could play both guard positions and the SF position on offense, and always covered the other team's best scorer at the 2 or 3 spot on defense. Larry Bird has always said the Cooper played better defense on him than anyone he ever faced. He was not a great scorer, but was used a lot in the Laker's offense. They even designed a play such for him, where he streaked to the basket and got a alley oop. It was dubbed the "Coop-a-loop." He was a good 3pt shooter as well shooting 34% from the 3pt line in his entire career. BE- F Elton Brand Brand is good in the post on both offense and defense. He doesn't have monster height only standing at 6'8", but uses his size (254 lbs) and surprising athleticism to out play his opponents. He has great post moves, is good rebound, and a good shot blocker as well. He averages 20.3 ppg 10.2 rpg and 2.1 bpg over his career. BE- F/C Pau Gasol The Spaniard is not a great defense by any means due to the fact that he is "soft." There's no getting around that, so I'm not going to even try use any excuses. Instead I will focus on what he is good at....his offense. He is a good post scorer as well as having a good mid range shot as well. He is near ambidextrous making him even more difficult to defend in the post. He is an underrated shot block though averagign 1.8 over his career. So he can play some defense once in awhile. I'm loving my team right now, and it may not look like the best team but I believe it is the best evenly balanced team. I just hope the voters will see the same way even though I have some older guys from the 60's and 70's (Gervin and Lucas) that many might not be too familiar with.

Petition to the NBAA few of our best NBA posters have decided they've had enough of the Stern/Donaghy conspiracies of fixed games. The NBA needs to make big changes and get the NBA it's integrity back. These posters have decided to start an actual petition to the NBA, and is officially started now. It can't get much recognition unless we get big numbers of people to sign this.
So for anyone who has ever been a fan of the NBA and wants to see the league get it's integrity back and wants to see changes made, please sing the petition. We as fans deserve better than this, and we don't want to see the NBA turn into the WWE or anything like that. If you feel the same way, and are a passionate NBA fans (or former NBA fan), please sign the petition. If we can get big numbers of people signing this, who knows it may actually reach Stern and the NBA's front office. Again, please sign this petition if you are a NBA fan (or former NBA) that wants to see the league get better and make changes. Here is the link to the petition: www.petitiononline.com/xxx23xxx/pet ition.html Posted on: June 10, 2008 6:24 pm

Please Pistons, win the ECFsI really want them to win more than ever now. Of course I have been wanting them to win all along since the Pistons are my favorite team, but now I think it will be an even sweeter victory if they win the series. Everyone seems to think the Lakers vs. Celtics Finals are already set, and if the Pistons win, I can't wait to see the reaction from everyone here.
The Lakers are already in after dominating the defending champs Spurs in 5 games in the WCFs. Big time congrats to them for playing so great and only losing a total of 3 games so far in the playoffs. They really want another title, and Kobe Bryant is giving everything he's got to make sure they get it. These Lakers are looking great, and may soon be the 2008 NBA champs. Since the playoffs start, the majority of everyone across the country wanted to see the Lakers play the Celtics in the Finals. They wanted to see the old rivalry of the 80s begin again, and they might get their prayers answered. This is what most people wanted, and definitely what the league wanted. Wouldn't it be a shame if the Pistons were to ruin everyone's dreams? (the look on everyone's faces) ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- -----------> Please Pistons, if the is any ounce of goodness left in this world, please beat the Celtics in 7 and cause an uproar across the nation. I wanted to see everyone begin crying because their dream Finals didn't come true this year. DEEEEETTTRROOOOOOOOOIIIITTTT BAAAAAAAASSSSSSSKKEETBBBAAAAAAAAAAA

ECFs Pistons vs. Celtics: The Final ShowdownIt's finally time for the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals. It's exactly what we've been waiting for all year long: Detroit Pistons vs. Boston Celtics. The #1 and #2 teams in the in the East, and in the regular season as well. Also, the two best defensive teams throughout this year. They played 3 times throughout the regular season, with the Pistons winning the first game in Boston, and the Celtics winning the next two games in Detroit and Boston. All 3 were very exciting and close games, and were some of the best games this season. These two teams were just destined to face each other in the ECFs this year, and now it's finally time to see them go at it.
This is the Pistons 6th straight ECF appearance, but it's the Celtics 1st since 2002. The Celtics and the Pistons have a lot of great player matchups that make the series even more entertaining: Kevin Garnett vs. Rasheed Wallace - Both are their teams best player and have been been of the team's leaders and heart of the team. They can both post up in the paint very well, and both play good defense. Rasheed has the long range shot, but Garnett has the mid range shot. They have had had some good and bad games in this year's playoffs, and it will probably be the same in this series as well. Rip Hamilton vs. Ray Allen - Battle of the UConn guards. These two played very physical on each other in each game this regular season. They are always keeping the game heated, and are both great shooters. Rip has been shooting great in the playoffs, but has been turning the ball over too much. Ray hasn't been all that great so far, but will definitely heat up when he goes against Rip. Tayshaun Prince vs. Paul Pierce - This will be the most important and most interesting matchup of this series. They have both been the best and most consistent players for their teams so far this year in the playoffs. Pierce definitely has the edge on the offensive side of the ball, but Prince is the better defender. Both have stepped up their game on the opposite side of the ball that they are not known for being strong at (Pierce stepping up on D, and Prince stepping it up on O). Keep your eye on this one folks. Jason Maxiell vs. Kevin Garnett - Not really one you would expect, but will definitely interesting to see what happens when these two face off. In the regular season games, Maxiell defended Garnett very well and got him frustrated a lot. Maxiell will be very physical with him all series long, and Garnett should be ready for it this time. I think in the regular season he was surprised a smaller defender good guard him so well, but now he will know what to expect from Maxiell. Chauncey Billups, Rodney Stuckey, and Lindsey Hunter should be able to have their way with Rajon Rondo, Sam Cassell, and Eddie House at the point. This a matchup where the Pistons should be able to just dominate at, but all the other ones will be very close and great matchups. I have been saying it all season long that the East will win the title this year, and I still stand by that. So (to me) this is the pre-battle for the NBA title this year. Whoever wins out of the Pistons/Celtics will be the NBA champions this year; I'm sure of that. The Celtic have been struggling big time on the road, going 0-6 thus far, but they have been dominant at home. No team has even won the title without winning at least 3 road games. The Pistons are one of the best road teams as well, and can easily win on the road just as well as at home. I know there is a first time for everything, but it's not looking good for the C's if they can't win on the road. They won't be able to play like they did against the Hawks and Cavaliers if they want to win this series. I'm sure they will step it up though because their "Boston 3 Party" really wants that title. I expect it to go no less than 6 games, and will most likely go 7. I just can't wait for Game 1 tomorrow. It's the Final Showdown in the East! Posted on: May 11, 2008 12:16 am
NBA Coach MadnessRecently there has been alot of shaking up going on with coaches in the NBA. Coaches leaving and going to other teams, and other coaches finally getting a job again. Let's take a look at what has gone on so far:
Larry Brown to the Bobcats: Larry Brown was hired to become the new coach in Charlotte. He is a highly prestige coach that has alot of experience and has been very successful; most recently winning the 2004 NBA Finals with the Detroit Pistons. He is a defensive minded coach which just adds to how valuable he is because of the importance defense has on being successful in the NBA. The Bobcats are a young team that has lots of young talent. If Brown can get these guys to play defense, and work together as a team like he always has been able to do, don't be surprised to see them in the playoffs next year. He was able to take the 76ers to the playoffs almost every year and all they had was Allen Iverson. He has Gerald Wallace, Jason Richardson, Emeka Okafor, and Raymond Felton to work with here. This was a very smart move by MJ, and should help the Bobcats to finally have some success Rick Carlisle to Mavericks: Mark Cuban decided to get rid of his young coach Avery Johnson because of their struggles in the playoffs recently. First he gets rid of Nelly, and now Avery? Does anyone see a pattern here? New coaches yet same old struggles? Maybe it's him and not the coaches that should be punished Anyways their new coach, Carlisle, is also another experienced NBA coach. Won the COY with the Pistons in 2002 and led the Pacers to league leading 61 wins in 2004. He also took them all the way to the ECFs, but only to lose to the Pistons in their championship run. Is he the answer for the Mavericks? Probably not. The Jason Kidd trade destroyed the Mavs future, and next year will be their last to compete for the title for along time. It's probably only a matter of time before Cuban gets upset again and fires Carlisle. Mike D'Antoni to the Knicks: Oh boy this should be interesting. The Knicks finally decided to answer the pleas of their fans and finally get rid of Isiah. Now, with Walsh running the show, things have gotten interesting. Walsh has definitely going to go after one of these big name coaches from the beginning. When the "D'Antoni to the Bulls" rumors started, I thought for sure he was going there. When I saw today that Mike had decided to go the Knicks, I can't say I was completely shocked. It did take me by surprised, but it's kind of a perfect fit for him. D'Antoni has always been a guy that doesn't preach defense has a "short" bench. With the Knicks, he probably won't have to change much. They already don't play much any defense, and their bench just sucks anyways. Can he turn them around? I'm sure they will improve from the pathetic year they have had this year, but don't expect him to have the same results, or anything close to it, that he had in Phoenix. He might be able to sneak them into the playoffs somehow with how well he can run the offense, but don't expect him to do wonders in New York. Scott Skiles to the Bucks: This is an "okay" sign by the Bucks. They have a playoff caliber team with guys like Michael Redd, Andrew Bogut, Mo Williams, and Ramon Sessions. Skiles was able to have some success with the Bulls, but the team gave up on him and fell apart this year. He may not be the best of coaches, but he is better than Larry Krystkowiak. He should be able to help Bucks improve from they way they have been playing recently. Will he get them to the playoffs? Who knows? Maybe, maybe not. We will see what happens. This isn't a huge sign for the Bucks, but it's not like Krystikowiak is going to do any better. Erik Spoelstra to the Heat: Pat Riley has called it quits again. He's going to step down from the coaching job and resume only his GM duties. The guy taking over the job is Erik Spoelstra. He has been a video coordinator for the Heat since 1995, and has become an assistant coach/video coordinator for the Heat. He is the youngest head coach in the league at 37, and has never been a head coach on any level besides the NBA Summer Leauge. He is inexperienced, and is taking over the league's worst team this year. Though it's not all bad. Dwyane Wade should be at full health again next year, they have acquired Shawn Marion in a trade with the Suns, and alot of the Heat players are confident in Spoelstra and believe in him. Can he make the Heat bounce back next year? I think he can. He is inexperienced, but with the great players the Heat have, a high draft pick coming, and the confidence his team has him, I believe the Heat could be a back in the playoffs next year. Who knows, they might even be contenders again very soon. There are still some coaches out there and teams that need one. The Bulls still need a new coach, and Avery Johnson still needs a job. Rumors of Avery becoming the Bulls new coach have come up. Rumors of college Michigan State Spartans head coach, Tom Izzo, taking over for the Bulls has also been talked about. Mark Jackson was rumored to be looking to head coach, and was at one thought to go to the Knicks, but that isn't happening anymore.

Decline and Fall of the U.S.?Last night, Viktor Krapper and I had a great discussion about how messed up our country is. It all stemmed from coaches being interviewed at the end of quarters and went on to things to may become the fall of our civilization. It was a great discussion that could have went on forever, but we have other things to do besides post on CBS all night.
Check it out, you might be interested: Viktor:Why the heck do people need to be entertained every waking second of a game? Please for goodness sake, let a basketball game be a basketball game. How do you expect the game to have any credibility if you turn into a circus, which is pretty much what they have done. If you want to see morons jump through flaming hoops, go to the circus. If you want to see scantily clad women dance, go to a strip club.It's the same with this bullcrap interviewing of coach's between quarters.This has got to stop immediately. It is a complete joke. What do you expect coaches are going to say? Actually meaningful insight towards the game? Let the coaches focus on the game for goodness sake. This is the NBA playoffs for goodness sake. If you need all this crap to keep your interest, you have no business watching basketball. When's the last time you've seen a halftime show at a European soccer match? Stop embarrassing our nation. I bet the international audience had to be cracking up at our stupidity. And they wonder why so many kids are being diagnosed with ADD? If people can't sit still at a frickin basketball game for 90 seconds without being entertained, how do they expect kids to manage in class? Stop trying to turn this into entertainment. It's a basketball game. I watch basketball to see basketball, not to see morons jump through flaming hoops and sideline reporters ask ridiculous questions to coaches who want to get out of there as soon as possible. Please somebody tell David Stern to stop hijacking the game of basketball with his crap. There have been some well played games for the most part for once, and they have to drag this crap into it. Just stop already. Big B:That's great Viktor, but as long as we are controlled by the media, this will never change. It's a sad realization, but it's unfortunately inevitable.Viktor:Yip. It is.It's just sad to see our intelligence go down before our very eyes. I just feel that we are owed to see basketball being played, not this fabricated entertainment package. But you're right, it will never happen. Big B:I've been watching this new show from Lewis Black, "Root of all Evil" that has really shown how bad America has gotten. With things like YouTube, reality shows like "A Shot at Love" and "Flavor of Love", etc. it just goes to show how much the IQ of our nation has dropped.It is really sad to see this kind of stuff happening right before us, but as long as there are a few us of still sane enough to realize this, we will survive....but who knows how long. Viktor:That's the problem when money is valued over wisdom.In our society money is used as a scorecard to dictate who the winners and loser are. It's not what you contribute to society, it's how much money you make. My dad's theory is that the reason the US will face a hefty decline is that our "brightest" are going into law rather than something more useful... Big B:You're dad's exactly right. Now days, or smartest people are going into business or whatever career will pay the most money. If those people would actually try to go into government or politics and take a leadership role, we wouldn't have to deal with people like George Bush as our leaders.Viktor:Yip. Why is the US falling way behind Japan or even the socialist Scandanavian countries in terms of technology? Because you have to be a sucker to go into an engineering or technological field in the US.Viktor:The American goal has become to make as much money doing as little as possible.It was inevitable we were going to face an economic because you can't ride high without putting the work in like we were doing. That was completely false. Maybe we can reassess our priorities. I think these "Elite" colleges have a lot to do with our downfall. That's why I wouldn't be caught dead going to one of them. Elitism is killing our country. Big B:It's sad to realize it, but we as a civilization are on a decline.I am a history guy, so I once had to do a paper on the compare and contrast on the Fall of the Roman Empire to the U.S. now. They are almost eerie similar to each other. We are heading on the same path as the Romans were. We peaked, and are now declining and heading towards the end of our civilization. It's kind of scary to think about, but its unfortunately and very real scenario. Viktor:You know I'm from South Africa, and our country is going down the absolute krapper.The sad thing, is the same stuff seems to be happening here. The time has come where it's not even news that someone got shot and killed in Chicago. The lower class has become so disillusioned that life no longer has value. It's just a matter of time until the violence spreads. Big B:Another eerie similarity to the fall of the Roman empire as well. I just hope I'm not around when things get really bad.As I said before, we could have went on with this forever, but decided we would continue this discussion at a later time. Look for more of this discussion to come in the future.......

Grasping at Straws?
For many of those directly involved in women's religious life, the choice of Fr. Joseph Tobin is good news. Assuming the testimonials to his being well disposed toward Catholic women is well founded, that enthusiasm is understandable.
It's a ray of hope, though likely a very thin ray.
From the periphery, it seems likely to be a shrewd political move intended to soften criticism of the investigations and deflect attention away from the ingrained sexism and animosity toward Vatican II renewal that Fr. Tobin, with all the good will in the world, won't have the standing to influence. Perhaps he will lobby Cardinal Rode to tone down some of his pronouncements at the end of the investigations, but the cardinal has the final word and belongs to that inner circle that still thinks too many American sisters have forsaken "real" religious life.

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
After the Egyptian army toppled President Mohammed Morsi, a member of the U.S. Congress expressed the sentiment of many in Washington.
"The army is the only stable institution in the country," he said.
In the Western media, Arab Spring post-mortems proliferated, including a 15-page special report in "The Economist" magazine that asked, "Has the Arab Spring failed?" The answer: "That view is at best premature, at worst wrong."
Here in Jordan, Arab Spring inspired protests demanding King Abdullah II cede power to an elected government have petered out. A crackdown on the media that shut down 300 websites last month elicited little protest.
"We are witnessing a swift return to a police state," said Labib Kamhawi, an opposition figure accused last year of violating a law that bars Jordanians from defaming the king. "You will find everything controlled."
Yet analysts, opposition members and former government officials say that the Arab Spring has paused here, not ended. The underlying economic issues which prompted the protests that toppled governments across the Middle East and North Africa remain in place. Arab rulers and U.S. officials are both mistaken if they think they can rely on generals and regents to produce long-term stability.
"The political energy that was released around the Arab world and Jordan in 2011 has not dissipated," said Robert Blecher, a Middle East analyst with the International Crisis Group. "The problems that gave birth to the Arab uprisings have not been solved."
What, then, is happening in Jordan? Simply put, Jordanians look north to Syria and southwest to Egypt and are frightened by what they see. Brutal civil wars and street clashes have tempered the desire for rapid change. Though Abdullah limits speech here, he is not nearly as brutal as Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. And events in Egypt have made young, secular Jordanians loathe to live under the Muslim Brotherhood. In short, Jordanians are waiting.
"I'm less aggressive toward the king because I saw what the Islamists could do, I see what is happening in the region," said Alaa Fazzaa, the editor of one of the shuttered websites. "I'm waiting for the right time to attack."

Checklist Essentials for Better and Peaceful Sleep
Sleep is one of the great mysteries of life. Studies have shown that lack of sleep contributes to everything from a simple sluggish feeling felt throughout your day to an increased risk of heart attack. But if you have recently been struck by cupid and you can't sleep, buddy you are in a hopeless situation! For the rest of us, fortunately, there are some things you can to do to get your sleeping schedule back on track.
The body position is crucial while you lay down. Here comes the foremost need of a proper mattress. A correct position of the vertebral column is very important to ensure that there is no back pain. For this one needs a mattress that would spread across the contour of the body and supports every area while one sleeps.
A mattress that breaths is important. "The open cells of the foam offer just that. With the air circulating within the cell, the mattress is kept fresh and cool," points out Anand Nichani, MD of Polyflex India.
"The fabric of the mattress is very important. It should be resistant to dust and bacteria, as well as thermo regulating so as to ensure that you don't breathe any toxic material while you sleep," adds Anand. The mattresses, also, should not contain any harmful chemicals, as one can inhale that and it might lead to severe health consequences. Picking up the right mattress (eco-friendly) is also very important.
Fixing a time to go to bed and waking up is just as important to overall health.
Try to avoid extended periods of napping as this delays your sleep at night. While a short nap can rejuvenate your mind, longer and more frequent ones can harm your sleep.
The pillow is an integral part of sleep. One should always opt for pillows which offer comfortable rest preventing dampness in the neck and head along with the support.
Try to keep the room cool. Overheating of the room can also lead to a lack of sleep.
Do not use alcohol and nicotine as an aid for your sleep. It aggravates your head and the chances for a restful sleep.

Softbank's Son Pitches Benefits of T-Mobile Deal
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- In response to a stiff-arm from the U.S. Department of Justice, Masayoshi Son, chairman of Sprint and its Japanese parent SoftBank, on Tuesday stepped up a public relations campaign to sway U.S. policymakers and broadband consumers to accept his wish to merge Sprint with Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile USA Inc.
In a speech held at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Washington, Son told an audience of journalists, telecom lobbyists and public interest group leaders that Softbank/Sprint is prepared to transform its U.S. operations into a new competitor to the broadband duopoly of Comcast (CMCSA - Get Report) and Verizon Communications (VZ - Get Report). Son mixed the practical appeal of helping the U.S. move past being a laggard in broadband speed and pricing with his own emotional rags-to-riches life story in reaching out to his audience.
Son didn't mention T-Mobile directly, but the implied purpose of his speech was to generate allies in his fight to convince the DOJ to look at a potential merger with Sprint differently. Rather than look at the merger simply as a combination of mobile phone providers, he wants antitrust regulators to view the deal as one between broadband providers. This distinction is critical because the DOJ has signaled to Son it is very likely to challenge a merger with T-Mobile because it would reduce the number of players in the mobile phone market from 4 to 3.
However, if Son can convince the antitrust regulators to view the affected market as the entire range of broadband players, not just mobile phone providers, the deal might look much less anticompetitive.
Son knows he still has a long way to go before convincing skeptical antitrust regulators and the Federal Communications Commission, which also must approve a T-Mobile deal. Only a few moments after Son's speech, the company announced it has hired Bruce Gottlieb to head the company's new Washington office and continue pressing Son's message. Gottlieb previously was president of the Washington political publication National Journal. He also has served as legal adviser to FCC Commissioner Michael Copps from 2006 to 2008, and on President Barack Obama's transition team. He also has been a staff writer for Slate.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
