3-Pointer Jan 11Gary Whittaker Now theres a big surprise! Yall better sit down for this one. It seems that Vince Carter has admitting to...are you ready...not playing hard all the time with the Raptors. Hello You still there Yes folks, its true. The sky is blue, what goes up must come down, and Vince Carter not only had no heart, but now has no pride to go along with it. He does have joy, for as long as that lasts! Another true saying is what goes around, comes around. Vince moaned about lack of media support when he was called out, he had teammates traded Antonio Davis and JYD and must sure they were not resigned T-Macwhen they called him out. There is no reason to doubt, or to question that history will repeat itself in New Jersey with the Nets. If New Jersey fails to make the playoffs especially after the announcement that Richard Jefferson will have season-ending surgery, and worse still, sends Kidd on his way, look for Vince to return to his old ways. Instead of Air Canada, Vince was just full of hot air. Super Supersonics We have to say that Seattle has got to be the biggest surprise so far this year. at least in terms of team performance. No one expected Seattle to hold their own against anyone in the Eastern Conference, much less be near the top of the West. One only has to watch a game to see how they do it. Taking a page from Detroits bible, the Supersonics have been about teamwork. Everyone contributes and plays a role in their gameplan. They have further cemented their status as a true contender for the championship after taking care of the Heat twice in 7 days this past week. Ok, they lost to Orlando and Washington in between, but regardless, they have to lose a few times in a season anyway.

Hell-Roaring Creek The first Summer that I lived in Colorado provided me with an opportunity to do some field work in the western Rocky Mountains.To reach my first campsite, I followed a rutted dirt road along the bank of Hell Roaring Creek, and found a rocky path that led to an abandoned mine.A cold, mountain stream gurgled and murmured within its narrow banks, at the bottom of a narrow defile carved by furious erosion to expose towering, jagged cliffs of maroon sandstone on one side, and a more gently sloping mass of granite on the other.By early afternoon, the maroon hills were softened by shadow, too steep to allow even the high Colorado sun to fully illuminate the bottom of the miniature gorge.I unfolded my double-burner Coleman stove, and placed it carefully on the hood.As the twin burners hissed bright blue heat, searing mixed vegetables on one side and Dinty Moore on the other, I watched swallows dart after insects against the backdrop of the waning Rocky Mountain sunset.I basked, self satisfied, in the sounds of the gurgling creek, the ever softening sunlight, lengthening shadows, and lilting, cool breeze.As dusk encroached, I settled in by flashlight with a Stephen King novel.I read, mesmerized as rain pattered on the roof and lightning flashed, momentarily revealing the churning mass of foliage around me and briefly illuminating the high cliffs, now turned blood-black. |
