I used to be a huge NBA fan, but it's all offense these days. It's just not that exciting for me anymore because I'm an old-school defensive kind of guy. I have followed the TWolves for more than a decade, mostly because of Kevin Garnett. I still cheer for them when they play, but I'm more interested in following KG with the Celtics. Hopefully he can help lead them to a title because he definitely deserves it.

Suns because of Steve Nash. The guy is all class; I saw him play as a high school student, and he was the same then as he is now. Money and fame haven't changes him at all.

This could not be further from the truth. I've seen Steve talk trash. He's not immune to it. What he does not do is bring attention to himself. Talk trash? With the best of them.

I played the Point postion so I've always been a fan of players who excel in that position such as Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, & Chris Paul. I believe Chris Paul deserves to be the MVP this year simply because the Hornets are not even predicted to be among the top teams in the West, yet they're one of the best out there. The main reason is Chris Paul's effectiveness in running plays in their system which translates to the team's chemistry.

Being born and raised in Cleveland, I've been a Cavaliers fan my entire life. Add the Browns, Indians and Buckeyes to that list. It would be nice to win something in my lifetime.

Cavs have been doing well,of course, since Lebron entered the league but I still prefer the Mark Price/Brad Dougherty days of my youth. I curse Jordan's Bulls as being the only team that really could beat them during that time.

I am a Bulls fan. I watched them occasionally back in the pre-Jordan days on WGN. When they drafted him out of UNC I was sold instantly. I had to suffer through the years of living in Detroit and supporting the "enemy." Fortunately I got the last laugh, or should I say the last 6 laughs. I have a Bulls logo tattooed on my right arm and my son's name is Jordan Michael. This has been a frustrating year watching them fall back after taking strides last year. Ben Wallace is a coach killer.

I took my wife and kids to the Pistons/Suns game last night and it was good to see some actual exciting NBA ball. It has gotten so slow and boring over the years. It was a great game. The Pistons won in overtime, with a little help from the refs. Shaq was getting mauled inside with no calls whatsoever. I am going again Saturday to get my first up close look at LeBron.

As much as I hated the Bulls for beating my team so many times, I still respected and appreciated what Jordan did on the court.

I'm very nervous about having Ben Wallace on my team now. He's past his prime and is only going to get worse. As long as he can focus only on D and play alongside Zydrunas, he won't be too bad. I am glad that Drew and Larry Hughes are no longer cavs. It was a pretty fair swap in my book. Both teams got rid of people that weren't helping. All the players involved needed new atmospheres.

Have fun checking Lebron out live. It's pretty nice to see in person. I went to a couple of his games when he was in High School and have been to many since he's been a Cav. Nobody will ever replace Jordan, but he's pretty exciting to watch.

LeBron is a phenomenal talent. I saw Jordan in person 20+ times, including 3 times in the old Chicago Stadium in 91, 92 and 93. Best sports venue I have ever been to. It was old, decrepid and loud as hell.

Wallace will be OK for you for now. You are contenders in the East. The problem is his ego. He will not accept the fact that he is arguably the worst offensive starter in the entire NBA over the last 10+ years. He wants the ball and hurts the team when he gets it. The problem is, he hurts more when he doesn't. Larry Brown used him well here in Detroit. He went to him a few times to start each game and kept him happy. His entire game has always been based on his physical ability. I said a few years ago that he would go from an All Star to a scrub when his body starts to slow down. When the Bulls signed him I was pissed, but cautiously optimistic. He still seemed to have something in the tank but they paid way too much for him. I hoped he could help them take the next step before his game crapped out. They did improve a lot last year and even won a series before losing to Detroit in the second round. Unfortunately his game and attitude went South when the younger Bulls started to eat into his minutes. He is a tough competitor but a cancer in the room. The good thing with Cleveland is that it's LeBrons team. No question about it. If I were Brown I would be concerned about my job. This guy has run off Rick Carlisle, Larry Brown, Flip Saunders (Pistons sided with Flip and let Ben go), Scott Skiles and was sabbotaging Boylan before the trade.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      2026 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
