My morsels for today:
NBA: So the league admitted the referees blew it Saturday by not calling an intentional foul on Antoine Wright of the Dallas Mavericks just before Carmelo Anthony’s three-point dagger with one second left gave the Denver Nuggets a 106-105 victory. Why bother? The admission doesn’t change the outcome of the game, which gave the Nuggets a 3-0 stranglehold in the Western Conference semifinal series. The Mavs seem to get shafted by officials more than other teams. Why is that? It is because of outspoken owner Mark Cuban?
NBA: Stick a fork in the Houston Rockets. Now that Yao Ming has been lost for the rest of the season because of a broken left foot, the Los Angeles Lakers have a clear path to the Western Conference finals. They lead the series 2-1. The oft-injured Yao won’t need surgery, but it’ll take eight to 12 weeks for him to recover from the hairline fracture.
NBA: Here’s my two cents on the death Saturday of former Detroit Pistons coach Chuck Daly. I covered most Pistons home games during the Daly era. My spot on the press table at the Pontiac Silverdome was just four seats away from the Pistons bench, so I was often able to listen to what Daly said to his team in a huddle. It was very obvious that the players loved and respected their coach. Even Dennis Rodman listened to what Daly had to say! God bless you, Daddy Rich.
MLB: It’s been a bad week for famous people named Dom. Actor, author and chef Dom DeLuise died Monday at age 75. Dom DiMaggio, kid brother of New York Yankees great Joe DiMaggio, died Friday at age 92. Dom DiMaggio played for the Boston Red Sox, of all people, from 1940-53 except for a three-year stint in the U.S. Navy during World War II. My prayers and sympathies to both families.
See you Sunday!
