Last night, Rivers had no choice but turn both Giannis and Brook Lopez loose. They both responded by getting an OT win against the Pistons. The moment he quit tinkering with Brook's game, he was ignited.

Meanwhile, in his first year back coaching, Mike Budenholzer has the Suns at 9-3.

Another loss, this time in Charlotte. A game that could have been won. Taurean Prince was lighting it up, and they took the ball out of his hands down the stretch. That's not logical coaching in my opinion.

These guys are hustling, just not being put in a position to win. Doc is tinkering way too much with the assignments. He's a Dr. Frankenstein when it comes to his developing team chemistry.

They've won 6 of the last 7. A win is a win is a win is a win, right? They're in second place in the Central, only 8 games behind the Cavs after ...uh... 18 games in this young season - 8-9 is good for the 5th best in the vaunted Eastern Conference - in the Western Confernce, that's good enough to be the 13th best record.... so... if the playoffs were to begin today ..... it'd be uh... March ... never mind. :rolleyes: Lots of basketball to be played yet. It's not where you start, it's where you finish. Mmmmm .... the team that gets hot at the end usually wins... am I missing anything?

Last game on the home schedule is April 13th so I'd take it being April already. That means winter is over and I'm 5 months closer to retirement.
3 months ago I'd have said that I'm not ready to retire. Now ... it's "pick 'em" whether or not I retire tomorrow at 2 p.m. - depending on who ticks me off first. :unsure: :unsure:

I retired from my previous job of 35 yrs in March, because financially I could walk away. I took 2 months off, got my body and mind right, and then found a part time job. 2 months later I knew that job wasn't for me, and now I'm on my 2nd part time job... which I like, 8:30-2, Mon-Fri. Retiring or thinking about it is scary, but after almost 9 months, I can say it was the best decision I made for "myself" in long time, the stress wasn't worth it anymore.

When I was 40, I was going to hang 'er up at 60. Financially, I could have. -- I guess. I didn't and don't regret it most days. I'm more concerned with NOT having difficult, mind stimulating stuff coming at me...or brain atrophy if you will.

Most days I don't mind coming in. I love working with the younger people and messing with their heads. Those who mess my head, earn my undying respect.

I was forced into retirement by my health. When I regained as much as possible, I took on a totally different type of job, and enjoyed doing it for 5 years. I started that one at 70, and hung it up permanently, when I was 75.

Since then, I've kept myself busy writing, and enjoying sites like we have here. The writing has made me a few bucks, and I've gotten the opportunity to travel to various locations throughout the US in the process. I've turned down opportunities to go overseas on gigs though, because I'm not as spry as a person needs to be to navigate everything.

I won't quit writing. The only thing that will stop me is when they turn the lights out on me permanently. I'm 84 now, and figure I have a few good years left in the tank. I'm going to enjoy them. But, if I suddenly disappear one day, know that it was the lights turning off, not because of anything else. I don't quit on things that easily.
