PERSPECTIVES ON GAMES

**** DALLAS MUST WIN LAST TWO GAMES TO BE ASSURED OF MAKING PLAYOFFS . 

THAT'S RIGHT , IF PHILLY AND DALLAS HAVE 11 WINS EACH PHILLY GOES . THE BOYS NEED A DOZEN TO MAKE SURE . 

AT THE END OF THE 2008 SEASON NEW ENGLAND STAYED HOME WITH AN 11 - 5 RECORD . IT COULD HAPPEN TO DALLAS THIS YEAR . 

THE TIEBREAKERS DO NOT FAVOR DALLAS FOR A WILDCARD SPOT . SO COWBOYS YOU BEST TCB THESE LAST TWO GAMES WHICH INCLUDE THE MIGHTY COLTS.

WOULD YOU CHOOSE ROMO OR LUCK IN A MUST - WIN GAME ?

IT WOULD BE A REAL JOLT FOR AN 11 WIN COWBOY TEAM TO STAY HOME .

**** WHAT IS WRONG WITH MEMPHIS BASKETBALL ? 

RIGHT NOW ,THE TIGERS HAVE ABOUT A 50 % CHANCE OF MAKING THE NCAA TOURNAMENT .  THEY ARE A WEAK TEAM IN A WEAK CONFERENCE AT THIS TIME 

WHAT IS THE TROUBLE? I SEE 3 THINGS:
     1. TIGERS ARE NOT GOOD SHOOTERS 
THEY JUST DON'T MAKE ENOUGH BASKETS. IF SOMEONE ZONES UP THE TIGERS THEY ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE .

      2. THERE IS NO DEFINED OFFENSIVE SYSTEM . THE TIGERS SPEND A LOT OF TIME GOING ONE ON FIVE .

      3. NO LEADERSHIP ON THE FLOOR . MEMPHIS HAS NO TAKE - CHARGE  LEADER . THEY NEED SOMEONE TO SET A DIRECTION FOR THE TEAM TO FOLLOW . 

THE TIGERS DON'T GET MUCH HELP FROM THE SIDELINE EITHER. JOSH'S COACHING ACUMEN SEEMS TO DIMINISH EVERY GAME .

IS THERE HOPE FOR MEMPHIS ? YES BUT IT IS FADING FAST . EVERYDAY THE TIGERS DON'T GET IT TOGETHER HOPE FADES . 

**** THE ZONE IS BACK 

HAVE YOU NOTICED ? MORE TEAMS ARE PLAYING ZONE DEFENSE . 

COACHES AS A GROUP ARE PRETTY SLOW  BUT THEY ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF WAKING UP . 

TENNESSEE, BAYLOR , MARQUETTE, SYRACUSE, AND LOUISVILLE ARE PLAYING LOTS OF ZONE DEFENSE . EVEN THE TENNESSEE WOMEN ARE ZONING SOME .

TODAY'S OFFENSES ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PLAY AGAINST ZONE DEFENSES .  

CATCH YOU LATER DUDES !!
