Change Can be a Good Thing

Year coming to an end and we all have resolutions and expectations for what is to come this New Year that is about conspire (2010). There is only the anticipation of what is to come with a hint of anxiety. Did you accomplish your goals or just put them in the closet for tomorrow. This all gos the same for many sports teams and their organizations. What kinds of adjustments would you have made to your favorite teams, may have been a better choice than you think. The Bay Area sports teams always have there own way of getting the eye openers from people who have no liking to sports in general because of the mainstream media played next door. It all comes down to who wants the spot light with a better managed team than the next with the players contentment with how much they are making and where they are destined to play at. Just to keep everyone in check remember to keep it real.

San Jose Sharks Season

Its clearly a slow start to the season that has pulled up many games short of a win. With a record like 5-4-1 , its a call for concern, even coach Todd McLellan  Qoute “We got off to another slow start. As a coach I'll have some question to ask our leaders (Friday) before practice. Hopefully our sharks will break out soon and get this team on a winning streak to secure a playoff spot. New faces of the rookies are showing signs of redemption like Vesce, 27, started the season in Worcester but was called up Friday night. Though he played in 10 NHL games last season.  "It was nice to be in a place where my parents could see my first goal," said Vesce, who wasn't sure how many of his childhood friends were in the building, too. quote Vesce. 

Warriors Run ?

Its allways a great sight in my eyes to see the Warriors take down a good team to show that they still got some talent to contest in the Nba. Considering the that its been a while since the Goldenstate Warriors have gotton anywhere in the league as far as getting too the playoffs or keeping a steady run in the regular season. Neitherless is allways fun to see a tight game and of course an underdog take down a hyped out team. Im hoping for a trend here that this win will inspire them in ways that they would be proud of as well as the fans in later games.

Jordans Hall of fame Induction

Seemed to many that Michael Jordans Induction to the Hall of Fame was soon forth coming but the timing was quite long. But he got there soon enough with a few other familar faces, Jerry Sloan , John Stockton, David Robinson are some. It was quite interesting to what Jordan had to say what made him proud to play the game and what drove him to play at his highest potentcial on the court.Through the many years watching Jordan play ball, getting to the hall of fame would not become a problem.

Qoute : "One day you might look up and see me playing a game at 50," he said. "Don't laugh. Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion. said Jordan.  

NFL Heating Up

On the Wire Vick Being pushed up on the Roster. No surprise to me, he'll eventually start mid-season if not sooner. We all know that Vick cant be contained in the pocket as a quarterback, same gos for him cant be contained from playing the game as well. No matter the controversy surrounding him it all comes down too how much of an impact can Vick play on the eagles???
Besides all the drama with Vick there are so many other teams that have great potential to make a big run for the playoffs. Also get you fantasy teams set don't forget! Check out my web page filled with other sports information www.shupes.net

Suspensions and early Injuries

Its incredible sometimes to find out that sports players have been suspended or have violated a contract over something because its ruins the game, the sport and the teams inner strength. Seems at times that its expected to know that its happening because every year someone is going to surprise us all. It feels like the players have this knack to do what they know they are not suppose to do, like they are have no regard to anything at times. When i see that players react like this it just makes me sick to the stomach, making me wonder if in fact that these players should even be in the league at all if they are so proned to being irresponsible individuals.
When it comes to players that seem to get hurt in the beginning in the year makes you scratch your heads as well, why is this happening now? Injuries is something that you really cant control, but might be able to limit due to limited the play time to a player on the field at a time. But unfortunately it wont eliminate the problem.

Seasons Priemeire

Get your soda and popcorn and maybe that usual hot dog that seems to call out to you when you are watching your team start the season out. Turn your cell phones off because you don't want to be disturbed .Its all clock work .....in the works , the making of the miracles on the field and on the running of the hard wood floors are about too begin. Where are the minds of all these great Athletes? Are they just as focused as we all are too what is happening? We may never know but there actions will speak loader than words when it comes down to it. All we want is to see our players and teams perform to the best of there abilities. Our admiration's to the game which ever that maybe would be liberated when a positive plays come . Hopefully our own efforts to get to events and special games shall not be in vain if only our teams play to our expectations and even hopes and dreams. Soon this season like all seasons will be over and it will be written in the books for all time, hopefully written to your liking. So walk your dog and take your kids out to the park to throw the ball around from time to time because even them need to get out and get some some air and enjoy life.

Newly Aquired Big Man

It wasn't so long ago Shaquille Oneil was picked up by the Clevand Caviers. It was to my surprise that Lebron James could someday be on the same team. Shaquille being in the league for a while knows in his mind his time in the NBA is coming to end soon because he is not as dominate he once was but at times show flashes of his former self. With Shaq by Lebron side this may benefit the Cav's on a great position in the run for the playoffs.
Everyone knows in the past how Shaq's Ego seems to get the best of him and ruin any kind of bond with players and even teams for that matter, hopefully that kind of behavior has all been played out in past. Last year in the playoffs the Cavs have had their opportunity for the Championship but was eventually washed out by no less the Orlando Magic, ironically Shaquille Oneils former team that he was drafted upon. Maybe now they both can get matching tattoos if they can co-exist on the court.
NBA has allways surprised us with all the trades and draft choices lets all hope our memories of this trade will be good ones, because we all want to see Lebron with a ring who solefully deserves one with his effort alone on the court.

Bostons Celtics Aquire Piston

Recently Boston has acquired 14 year veteran Racheed Wallace from Detroit Pistons to complete there lineup for a run for the championship title. Wallace averaged 12.0 points and 7.4 rebounds Wallace played the last six seasons with the Detroit Pistons, where he won an NBA championship in 2004. Will this be enough for them to get through the season without any injuries, like last year with Garnett's mishap? We all know that Garnet and the crew there aren't getting any younger, the time may be now to do this. President Danny Ainge, head coach Doc Rivers and All-Stars Kevin Garnet Paul Peirce and Ray Allen went on Wallace's suburban Michigan home on Thursday for a meeting. With this new member on board the Celtics this may be a team to reckon with.

Where Are The Golden State Warriors ? Really

Ever Since The early eighties with Mullin and Tim Hardaway, Mich Richmond the Warriors have never come to a click on the court as far a solid chemistry with each player. We have had our hopes and dreams taken away many times over with Weber, Speewell. Where do we look next? With all the bad decisions and crazy trades where is this team to look forward too. Recently Chris Mullin General Manger left the league office, probably cant understand the team really needs him self. It must be very hard to get a group of solid players together that can co-exist with each other and make a real competitor on the court. Sticking by my Bay Area team I see that so often not just here in the bay area but through out the league, players maybe taking there chance at greatness for granted....... So sad , to actually give up there chance at immortality in the hall of fame for what they would settle for in a couple million in a pay check. I want to see players work for what they earn. I feel there should be an assessment on pay .. LIke you get paid at the end of the year for your performance till then you'll be paid minimum wage, thats how i see it, straight UP.

Future Expectations

We all have our favorites teams and our least in sports. Watching our teams perform on the field gives us a much different perspective than what a player would see or even realize, its one thing playing the game and watching the sport as a spectator. That is one reason why some players at times make some funny mistakes. What people don't understand is that a player in any sport has to endure all the scrutiny of all the spectators in order to be a better player, taking the criticism just as well as the complimentes. Always be supportive of you players even when you loose confidence in them at times, remember you are not in the uniform and your not out there your self. I see it allot where fans loose there edge and take too far with there criticism of players.

Time To Regroup

Seasons at rest with the NBA and the NFL waiting to start! Anticipation of what is too come makes jack a hungry man to watch some sports. On the wire recently the Lakers are aquiring Ron Artest, which will bring some body to the line up and some experiance as well. It would be intersting to see how all the teams scmable for there starting lineups to be adjusted Due too all the new faces ,Rookies,Trades. The Clevland Cavs have aquired Shaquille Oneil which will cerntanlly bring a new way to bring out there offense and defence on the court, weather its a good thing or bad we'll see how Lebron reacts to Shaq's presence in the paint. Get you weekends and nights ready for excitement!
