An amazing feat not soon to be repeated…
On December 13, 1983 an NBA game took place in Denver, Colorado at the McNichols Arena in front of a crowd of less than 10,000. The game pitted the visiting Detroit Pistons against the Denver Nuggets. It did not appear that it would be unlike most NBA games during the 82 game regular season, most of which are played and then forgotten. Something spectacular was about to happen that night.
When the game started both teams were furiously running up and down the court scoring on just about every possession. Defense was taking a back seat to the explosive offense of both squads. The 1st quarter ended with the Pistons leading by a score of 38-34. The score going into halftime was all tied up at 74-74. The Nuggets would take the lead in the 3rd quarter by a score of 113-108. At this point in the game with only…

Those days are now long gone and now we have to put up with a pedantic league . where defense has been woefully inept and the current NBA champions are one of the worst rebounding teams in the league, in spite of having several players listed at 6′ 5″ and above . There are no team rivalries in the NBA that are worth talking about , even the budding one between the Heat and Pacers which is still in its infancy .

I remember that game! Less defense than a Clinton sexual harassment case.

“I did not have sex with that woman!” I can still hear those words spewing out of Bill’s mouth. And have you read this week how Hillary blames herself for Bill’s transgressions? Where’s my cigar?????

Both of the Clintons have always craved the limelight and still do , to this day .
It all happened on her watch as Secretary of State and her dumb @ss was culpable in that mess . Every other Western Consulate or embassy sought to move their staff out of Benghazi or completely out of the country altogether .
If Hillary Rodham-Clinton seeks the Democratic Presidential nomination in 2016 , with all of the baggage she carries , whomever chooses to vote for should remember her remarks to that Senatorial Committee investigating the attacks in Benghazi, Libya . It matters a great deal, when needlessly, four lives were lost and her response was frigging flippant .

That will be her downfall for certain. However the problem with this country is that the people forget far too easily and quickly.

I am not so sure , but if that specific segue(piece) is used repeatedly , it will remind the public of how conceited and condescending those remarks were and her lack of respect for the victims’ families !
Her being chosen as Secretary of State was more out of appeasement , rather than her background in that arena of politics . She had no real quailifications for the role and exuded about as much intellect in that field , as Paris Hilton might be deemed a suitable candidate to be a Rhodes’ scholar .

Agreed (with regards to her becoming Sec’y of State ) however, as far as the next election is concerned,who else is the Democratic Party going to retread in ’16? If Clinton is the best they can come up with then we’ll see a Republican president in the next election for sure!

That may well be true but the GOP are in just as much trouble , because they too lack someone with leadership qualities and standing . Chris Christie simply can’t a leave a buffet table alone . Rick Santorum remains as clueless as ever . Marco Rubio has a story to tell , the problem is , it is so uninteresting .

Sad Al..very sad. In a country with over a quarter billion people this is the best we can come up with?

The writing was on the wall because there was a vacuum in the leadership of the Republican Party , hence the rapid rise and disillusionment . The Tea Party was formed and they’re now prepared to deal with those inside of the party (GOP) , whom they believe to be too weak .
