I was pretty off with some of my NBA predictions...scroll to the post on my picks if you haven't seen them. But that's what I get for never watching the NBA. I will elaborate more after the first round is over about my thoughts. Celtics and Bulls is very very crazy!
Ok, so...
Rajon Rondo -- what a punk. This clown should be suspended. When he hit Brad Miller, I didn't think it was that bad, but after tonight, and seeing what he did to Kirk Hinrich, when he took his arm and basically threw him into the scorer's table. Get this moron out of there. I hope the Bulls win this series cause I hate Boston.

7th grade mid-season review
At (3-3), the 7th grade girls have already surpassed their win total of last season (4 if you count the tournament).
With two games left in the season, they need to win two games to guarantee a playoff sport, but would need some help if they were to win only one. And we won't even fathom the possibility that will stay at 3 wins.
After a bumpy first season, which featured a coaching change three games into the season, they quickly settled down, started to focus, and most importantly understood -- little by little the nuances of the game of basketball.
Last Friday's game was a test of will power, courage and determination and the 5 girls that played passed the test. And even though they scrapped and clawed their way to victory, it was the basketball on the court that won the game.
They jumped out to a first quarter 13-0 lead and got off good shots, and most importantly, made their lay-ups and free-throws.
In the half court set, teams at this level are not the best. So the 7th graders took advantage and ran on the other team. They were quicker and more aggressive, driving to the basket and it showed.
This team, with a few tweaks, could be (6-0). They have lost half of their games, because they bit themselves in the foot. Not making free-throws and lay-ups were the key ingredients to disaster.
They converted both Friday night and won convincingly.
Mentally, they need to get it together as at times, they get discouraged and stop playing. Their ability to shake things off is not as strong as others, but that comes with more playing experience.
The key down the stretch is really simple. They need to take care of the ball -- something that was a difficulty in the second half Friday night when they were being pressed.
But one thing this team represents is our entire program as a whole. The talent is there and you just need to work at it and be patient. They have improved drastically from when they first started and if they can take that extra step, they could find themselves on another level come the end of May.

3rd/4th lose heart-breaker in sudden death overtime
The 3rd/4th grade make a living playing close games, and are literally inches away from breaking through for that first win. It wasn't going to get any closer than it did today.
Tied 6-6 in overtime and 12 seconds remaining, Fiona stole the ball and made a beautiful pass to Cynthia, who was standing wide open, alone under the basket. The shot went up and just rolled right off the rim.
Oh, the agony.
That forced a sudden death overtime, where the girls surrendered a basket a little over a minute into the OT, and they lost for the second straight day by 2 points -- this time 8-6.
The team moved the ball pretty well on offense and limited their turnovers. They got their fair amount of shots, but the bounces just didn't go their way.
They are on the brink of something special, if not the last two games, but for the future. For their first year, they have come a long way and are a basket and a defensive stop from winning the games.

Courageous victory for the 7th grade, 3rd/4th grade so close again
The 7th grade jumped out to their biggest lead ever and led 13-0 after the first quarter and went on to win convincingly 19-8.
It was a remarkable and gusty effort as the girls once again played with only 5 (they normally have 7). The girls they played against were twice their size, but it didn't scare them a bit as they were aggressive and put the game away in the early stages.
Emily played with reckless abandonment and was sent to the floor many times. But she still got back up and helped her team in the win.
Tianna had a game-high 13 points. She did a great job taking the ball to the hoop and hit a good share of her free-throws.
They are now (3-3) on the season with two left.
3rd/4th Grade loses by basket, plays again tomorrow morning
The 3rd/4th graders played the best game of their young careers and were beaten by a 4th quarter basket, 11-9, for the third time this season.
They scored a high of 9 points, and got contributions from Isabella and Edwena, both who scored their first baskets of their blossoming careers.
It will be a quick turnaround as they will play once again tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. from St. Monica's. (23rd and Geary Blvd)
