I will be a guest today on voiceamerica.com on Ray Ellis’ sports talk show. I will be on w/ several pro athletes to discuss pressures of Game 7 for the Lakers/Celtics. Feel free to listen and give feedback.
Who do you like to win tonight and why? Not necessarily who you are rooting for.
f you are Doc Rivers do you bench your star pt. guard at the end of game 7 vs. Lakers. Shooting 25% in the finals is piitiful. A free throw shot can make or break a team…and win or lose a game. Even the best players can be poor foul shooters. But can you as [...]
So.. who’s gonna show up tonight? For LA, will Kobe try to do it himself? Will LA use the triangle and/or work it down low to Bynum and Gasol? Will Bynum get more than 1 rebound? Will Artest be Jekyll or Hyde or both? For Celts, will Ray Allen shoot blanks or set records? [...]
Ever wonder why “Bigs” can’t shoot foul shots? It’s simple. Since they were little or should I say young kids they were always told to stay near the basket by their coaches, me included, to get rebounds.

Celtics Rajon Rondo’s foul shooting is getting worse and worse in playoffs. 1st rd. 83%, 2nd rd. 65%, conference finals 57% and at halftime in game 4, shooting 4 for 15 under 30%. Lakers should foul him any time he is near the basket.
Recently worked w/ Patrick Robinson aka Pat Da Roc to prepare for D league tryouts on Sat. in VA.. You may have seen him on the “And 1? tour, w/ the Globetrotters or on Youtube. Tremendous balhandler who just came back from tour in China. We worked on improving his shot for an opportunity in [...]
One of the most important areas Lakers have advantage in is foul shooting. Although a couple of Lakers are below NBA average, 77%, Celts Kendrick Perkins and Rajon Rondo have both been very poor free throw shooter their entire careers. This may proof pivotal as series move along. Suns lost game 5 and eventually series [...]
Worked out Paul Gause, former Big East pt. guard from Seton Hall. Paul, former 3000 pt. scorer in HS and minor league pro cornerback in football, is an excellent learner eager to take his hoops game to next level. Adjusted how he received pass, footwork and follow through. With practice, he has great chance to [...]
