I’m relieved by Los Angeles’ win at Dallas Friday. Basketball coaches and chessplayers know the feeling when losses are devastating, while wins are just a relief.
I’m glad Coach Roberts, who’s already fired on the Internet, didn’t lose a fourth game in a row. Internet sports forums are immeasurably worse than sports talk radio was, back in my day.
Sports talk radio are screened by radio staff. If they get on the air, they can be flushed by a host who’s heard enough.
Instead, it’s Dallas coach Koclanes who’s getting double secret fired on the Internet, though some think Koclanes is immune as GM Miller’s homeboy.
Miller might feel more pressure than his coaching hire. He much needs a win, in the figurative sense.
Dallas is overly reliant on an injured rookie, no matter how extraordinary, and are about to lose a couple of pieces to Euro play. The Wings are in very poor shape.
Los Angeles looked like they were unshakeably confident about preserving their advantages at Dallas better than those at Phoenix. Rickea Jackson looked sincerely glad to be back.
My cat doesn’t let me sleep. Catching the 10:46 train to San Francisco for the Aces this morning will suck, and I’ll feel fortunate if I can concentrate.
