Sorry for the Delay

So I had some problems with my hosting service (forgot to renew my subscription - whoops!) and so that messed with password cookies (why are they called cookies anyway?) or some such.  I’m no tech whiz so I don’t know.  But I’m back now and this should be up and running again in no time.

I’ll start again with the observation I had after watching some NBA games over the past few weeks: Nate Robinson was right when he said something along the lines of “no one boxes out.”  Seriously, no one in the NBA, especially guards, boxes out.  I can understand this somewhat, as not a lot of teams crash the boards in order to prevent fast breaks, but seriously, I saw no one boxing out.  A lot of players would just turn and watch the shot, exactly what they teach you not to do.  Then again if you’re 6′6″ and freakishly athletic, I’m sure the fundamentals mean a little bit less.  Again, just something I noticed.
