The Lakeshow takes a sitdown

It is hard being from LA and listening to Lakers fans.  LA is the most optimistic place with the most pessimistic attitudes!  We lose a series and the world has ended.  Bynum is the devil!  How did this happen?
Three runs at the final and we won 2 more back to back titles, yet in the fourth year the team ran out of gas and all is terrible?  Looks like more than just the players needed a break from this roller coaster.I have little problem with the way this year ended simply because I can see what happened.  The team ran out of pixie dust.  It was a great ride and the batteries need to be recharged.  I guess it is the coach in me that can be so practical about it.  Lakers for life!

Meanwhile, the track season kicked off in dramatic fashion.  In Jamaica the sprint gods returned back to the sport.  Carmelita ran 10.86.  Yohan Blake dropped a windy 9.80.  Shelly Ann Fraser ran a windy 22.10.  Fantastic meeting.  On to Asia for most of the athletes to race in Daegu and Shanghai.

IN my own camp, Ryan left Friday to run Sunday in Kawasaki.  He won in 13.73 w -2.2.  Less than 24 hours off the plane we will take the W and move onto Daegu.  Kevin is on a plane on his way to Daegu to get his baptism in to the pro circuit in his first full pro season.  We are working to build on his indoor success.

Osama is dead.  Obama pulled the trigger.  Thank you!  Thank you President Bush for taking the steps to get after this menace to the world who randomly murdered thousands in the name of his own religion.  Thank you Obama for giving the order to end this terrible time in the world.  And I pray we all heal and move forward and stop living as partisan politicians.  We can get back to being Americans.
