If life is a sports movie, the Rockets have won close to a Wednesday night. This is an emotionally and physically draining for real Rockets, a day to play a back-to-back on the road, the better narrative back seat to better the team's second game.
From the current 2012-2013 NBA schedule came out, it always is a difficult one for the Rockets. Type of the game, coaches often say that the loss of the "timetable." This is a game, you can basically see the timetable of the "L" opponents, travel, back to back, or all of the above pencil.
Then an unimaginable bad timetable for a potential loss coach Kevin - McHale's 23-year-old daughter, Sasha - untimely heart, painful death. If this is a sports movie, the rocket will dig deep to find their heart, can not shoot looks good, slow months, and somehow find winning ways. The movie rocket will become a well-paid pecan. They shot lights pluck out a difficult emotion to win their coach, and their self-esteem is a very powerful Thunder.
Houston Rockets tonight to face it? In addition to relative rest Thunder, the best team in the West, they will go to a narrative completely different. They will face a pumped Thunder eager to send a message to the beard. Thunder players, and may even have some additional James - Harden and rocket.
Kevin - Durant may have a point, and caused a minor threat to James - Harden, his scoring crown. Russell - Westbrook may want to defuse criticism of his biggest transactions. Criticism of his decision-making. Westbrook may wish deflection people increasingly recognize he is a super-talented players, but maybe not a point guard in the heart, and the lack of a high price might spend Thunder. Serge - Ibaka very eager, in fact, to prove his contract and he is sound and valid reasons for strict economic Thunder can not and will not continue to strengthen.
Then there might even be a positive Kevin - Martin, eager to show his former club another one of the facial expressions, a huff seems to put his 2011-2012 season. In addition, he is likely to score a lot of points, because he was pretty damn.
When you compare the two narratives, the story of the Rockets apparently with superior moral weight careerist ambitions I fictional ascribed to the Thunder. If this is a movie, the various desires of Thunder will fail. A better story, as a team the advantage will be weakened.
The movie Rockets will get quick montage through this day. We will soon see the scene of fatigue, mental and physical. The northern part of the flight, a bus, a woman too young, the the destroyed coach and his broken family, a flight south, a bus, no shootaround, then in Thunder funeral. But the real, non-movie, Rockets has been a very long, very real, very sad day.
The weary Rockets will lose their best defender, Kevin - Durant - Chandler Parsons with a mysterious shoulder injury. Instead, the rocket will include questionable shot selection Daequan Cook and his festival - fully answer this question: "Why Daequan - Cook bench players it?"
Things started well enough. The Thunder seems concentrated in stop James - Harden in the first. This good work, Patrick - Patterson advantage, and to continue his NBA scoring blitz. The Omer - Acic continue to seize the line of sight of each plate to score at an alarming pace. The result is a short rocket lead, only in favor of the Thunder at the end of the first 2PT margin.
The second quarter started well, however, as the Thunder that their bench strength. Instead, the Rockets have fully proved their bench, no doubt, a work in progress, and not much progress has been made. We have made tremendous bench strength in the past few seasons, Morey's shrewd trading and powerful drafting two. Can be said that in the past season's starting lineup, the bench has been better. Not now. This year is the year of reconstruction, the depth of the Rockets, as it is anything else.
This is the efforts of a short bench, the Rockets fans desperate. Tony - Douglas looks like the bumpy Tony we saw earlier. He looks like a marginal NBA player than he looks like the players raved about. Watching Terrence - Jones lost a brief pit stop and Marcus - Morris drifting. Greg Smith, pleasant, beasted offensive rebounds. He looks more and more like a real asset to the backup center. However, how will they ever raise such a short fuse?
, The Kelvin Sampson quickly unplug reserves, most of the time the Rockets in the second quarter to do their best level, more than the thunder of a class, they led the league - mistakes. Rockets looked like a tired team recently, miserable, West Coast Swing - out of control, informality, lack of thinking. Thunder looks poised to take off with a vengeance. Durant, for example, there is a fight four points, just because he felt came to him in the shooting in the breeze Harden. It looks very bad, a simple Thunder scored willingness. Yet, somehow, the Rockets within 12 months, in the semi-closed.
(Referee decided to exit Hashim - Thabit, and then decide, obviously, it will be interesting if they do not.)
Third quarter Harden to do his first game of the target as early as the quarterfinals, and get a few phone, swarming drive. Rockets run Thunder, to close the gap to the low double digits. Then Thunder answering. Even if there is a better job, and the other two pairs Asik mid-quarter, the Rockets narrow the gap to about 14.
This lasted until the fourth. Rockets will run close around 10-12pts behind, then in Thunder approximately 20. At any time, it seems like the Rockets would win, even with the.
In addition, the evening tonight, the San Antonio Spurs, for example, will remember ruefully in the playoffs, ibaka not miss. In the fourth quarter, he made three. Sergio - ibaka. Finally, he 23pts 11-13 shooting completed, nine rebounds and six (!) In just 23 minutes, usually looks like the money spent (although I think Asik is a better defender).
Durant scores dropped 37 and added seven rebounds and four assists (This must explain why he played 43 minutes, nothing else.) Do his. Kevin - Martin, Kevin - Martin fashion, did pretty well, but not great. He scored 17pts, 14 (efficiency is very low), or even three assists. Well, he did not really play D. Westbrook, making bricks to 6-15,17 pts, but he was also an increase of 9 cents.
Rockets game, they played very hard, but the Thunder, at this point, the West of the best teams. There is no offer for the end of the movie Rockets tonight. In fact, it seems clear that there is no end of the movie sometime early in the third quarter. Since there is no happy ending for the script, it may be time to face the facts. The fact is that Rockets horses just did not catch up with the Thunder, let alone hit them, but not tonight.
What are you doing here, if you are the head coach of the Rockets this? If you are an experienced, experienced NBA coach, you may send only the bench, sometime in the third quarter, to see what they will do. Expected loss tonight, and is expected to pass. Film Rockets will not show up, real tired, drained, Rockets. Thunder is clearly the better team. Who cares about the final margin, long night tonight?
Well, this is not Kelvin Sampson's way. He is a great teacher and leading man. He may be a strategic basketball genius. He may be some wonderful things, but one thing we can be sure, at this point, he is really, truly, a poor coach in the game (agreed to Grungedave here.) Sampson played starter about 40 minutes that night, a terrible back back. Him how to achieve it? Worst loss of the season - 22 points.
The Sampson allow beginners to it for about 28 minutes, then it fresh bench learning, and growth is lost opportunity. But really, what is the difference between a 22pt and a 32-point loss?
With the movie no end in sight, purely for practicality. Anyone, anywhere, will be to blame Sampson run the bench is good or bad. That would be the best outcome we can hope, and Rockets fans, not even. A sad day not much joy in the game, at least more than one.
Now, a brief usuals,: (unlike this piece)
Three cases
Patrick - Patterson - the best scorer of his career. He looks more like a real threat to a decrease of 20 + night. The three pointer is a real opportunity in the cast seems to come back. If he can finish a dunk, with the help of two worlds. However, 18 shots, 11 27pts is pretty good. He even notched six boards.
The Omer - Acic - at this point, and said, not a lot of difference between Tyson - Chandler. An excellent anti-keeper and rebounder, his own as a scorer. If he can make his free throw percentage, close to the all-star country.
Jeremy Lin - tempted sexual, but it suggests that the advantages of the forest, with his confidence is also a game.
Three down
James - Harden - get a job, like swarming the speed bag OKCs doubling and tripling. 3-16 shooting (9-11 FT), 3 assists. One night, we hope that he has forgotten.
Daequan - Cook - released from the bench, he tried to Bryant channel. He successfully shooting a lot, rather than a clever way. However, on July 17, seven rebounds and four assists than the beard is a better efforts.
Kelvin Sampson - you have to kill your starter? Do you know the Rockets is not a championship contender? Do you think Harden record 83 minutes, two nights will give you the performance of a head coach?

There are still a lot of movement would like to thank
The bad stuff is easy. You read it almost every day to hear it in radio and television talking heads to discuss.
However, if the sport is a microcosm of society - this is - there are a lot of good things, too. And, as we celebrate Thanksgiving, here are some things to thank the record did not do anything this year, the World Series or the Super Bowl:
Battle of the coaches. Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano called his health problems, he came to the locker room room after the victory against the Miami Heat in a couple of weeks ago, and the first time to solve his team unexpectedly hospitalized just as his first season as head coach to start. , Pagano leukemia, an insidious disease, it is difficult to beat, no matter how hard you try to fight. A moving speech, you must pay attention to fully understand, Pagano vowed to dance, his daughter's wedding, held more than one Super Bowl trophy before he did the fighting. "This is already defeated. Pagano said," it has to beat his team.
Drug BUSTERS: It would have been very easy to Travis - Tygart and his researchers in the United States Anti-Doping Agency nail Lance Armstrong (Lance Armstrong), to give up easily. Federal prosecutors have been, if they are unable to establish a For Armstrong, it is difficult to imagine doing any-Doping Agency. Tygart pressure on the eventual establishment of a divided case, to create a facade of Armstrong, detailing the extensive and systematic doping programs, organized sports level not seen before. Yes, he won the American sports hero, and damage to his charitable work, but Tygart also sends out a message, a fair and competitive environment is very important. Sports, because it is a cleaner, better place.
BROOKLYN REBORN: No, the Dodgers did not come back. But, suddenly, Brooklyn is a sports city, to a new dollar, $ 100 million arena and Russian billionaire, his basketball team stopped. The New York Islanders will be moved in 2015, assuming, of course, solve then, NHL work stoppage.
British Invasion: Bradley Wiggins became the first Englishman to win the Tour de France, while Murray become the first British men's tennis requirements, in 76 years when he won the U.S. Open . Perennial loser, there is a spectacular sport in the UK, summer country will never forget, including the London Olympics, exceeded expectations at every turn.
VIN SCULLY: he is a national treasure, but Los Angeles would like to ask him for yourself. Time in the past 60 years, Scully has broadcast Dodgers, gave him a gift, the new Dodge owners announced he will be back at least one year at the age of 85, to call the game, because he always in solo announcer booth. In the interests of full disclosure, I was one in LA's children who go to sleep in my pillow at night with a transistor radio, listening to Vinnie.
RORY time: Over the years, golf fans waiting for the opponents of the great Tiger Woods to every David - Duval who came to be disappointed. McIlroy is the anti-Tiger, access and ground distance the incredible Northern Ireland batting, inner joy, Tiger Woods will never have the town of Hollywood superstar. McIlroy grateful, as his faithful partner with tennis star Wozniacki, has his own reason.
Boxing: Even if you do not like the sport, you will like the story. Jonathan Bank lessons he knows Emanuel steward boxing, so that when the housekeeper died a few weeks ago, the bank took over the coaching heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. He Klitschko for his victory in Germany, Mariusz Wach corner, and then fly to Detroit memorial service butler. A few days later, he was reviving his career in Atlantic City, where he and a shocking knockout win Saturday night Seth Mitchell. This can put his title shot against, you guessed it: Klitschko, who he trained. Only in boxing. "All I can think of is that I am grateful 谢伊曼纽尔 housekeeper," Banks said.
Labor PEACE: OK, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the locked mode, and another lost season, the outlook is a gut check around the hockey fans. But in the NFL over the next decade will not lose a game, NBA has a new long-term transactions only worry about the owners and players in baseball, the new contract number zero. Of course, there are decent referee in the NFL again on the pitch, even if they occur vowed times.
Concussion: good things are happening in a silent epidemic of sports concussion blow. Brain analysis of hundreds of millions of dollars into research and awareness of the CTR can be life-saving head, NFL stadium's dangerous everywhere from a children's soccer field. Unfortunately, it was too late to pay their head against their lives every day hundreds of thousands of former players - NFL refused to own things.
BCS: the death of our long national nightmare is about to end. Bowl Championship Series, for all intents and purposes, is dead, killed 16-year-old fan revolt. This will replace four teams in the playoffs in 2014, although not perfect, will help to legalize the National Championship. At the same time, a possible Notre Dame Alabama championship game this season may be one of the biggest ever.
Opportunities: 40 years ago this summer, the U.S. Congress passed and President Nixon signed a bill, the bill changed the sport forever. Title IX has opened a women doing exercise, once unimaginable opportunities, and this is a gift, and will continue to for generations. Article IX of less than 30,000 female students to participate in sports in colleges and universities, a number now has increased nearly six-fold. About three million girls participated in high school sports today, 10 times to play sports in 1972. Women may never make a major breakthrough in professional sports, but now dedicated to female sports resources means that the dream of your daughter and granddaughter to do the things they do not before the movement.
Sports EXTRA: You pay for it more than you understand, every cable or satellite TV bill, because. The Yankees spend your money, so do the Knicks. There are so many new sports networks have sprung up, each want their own stock, the bill would continue the resistance until the customer finally pie. You ever get free price a lot, but the bargain, it really is. The diversity of sports on TV is amazing, more so generations grow up, ESPN, when watching sporting events means that a number of football games and baseball game Saturday week - and to get into the open channel to see it.
We live in a world sports fans options than ever greater. We can see the basketball on the deck of aircraft carriers, the hockey old infield of the baseball field, soccer fields and the NFL in London. Rather than parked in front of the TV, we can feed our seemingly insatiable sports fixed in laptops, tablet PCs, and even smart phones. If that was not enough, than ever before are more likely to have a little something riding on the game, whether it is paid in the form of a bet or a dream team.
However, there is nothing like a Saturday morning spent watching the kids play football, Thanksgiving at my house, street football game, and the relatives of all ages. Even the amazing technology of the times, there is room for a pickup basketball game at the local playground, tossing the ball in the grass in the park.
So, enjoy the turkey and the NFL on TV as well. Pumpkin pie save space, there is a game feast your eyes.

The painter youth need to prove to themselves that they can compete with the high-level opponents.

Perhaps this is a coincidence, the introduction of a new head coach - Mike D'Antoni at a news conference Thursday afternoon at the same time, DirecTV encountered bulletin board in the Lakers finally to the new Time Warner Cable Sports Network and Deportes .
Or maybe not.
But why is it DirecTV all of October and half of November, in order to achieve agreement - cable operators, such as the Charter of the United Nations and Cox and telecommunications companies, such as Verizon's FiOS and U-verse, AT & Ţ came on board - is an issue of frustration and review of nearly 2 million subscribers in Southern California.

DirecTV and TWC's sources refused to disclose the agreed conditions or provide any background, after several weeks of negotiations, some sniping in the media, and why each standing in its principle, accusing the other side of things, such as the price of fraud or hypocrisy of Business Conduct ,.
"I do not think this is true of the coaching change, because the die was cast when the team this summer, Dwight - Howard And Steve Nash - This is not a knee-jerk reaction, "said Ed Desser, president of Desser Sports Media in Santa Monica, Los Angeles Lakers 20 years, $ 3.6 billion transaction negotiations TWC past two years.
"The coach's message may have to remind you, this team is how high-profile this is a show that the power and importance of this team in this market."

Desser said, he speculated the DirecTV company the TWC Sports Network and Deportes channels months ago, when it was announced that the budget, so much of this delay picking it is all about negotiating the best deal they can - and do so before They lost an unacceptably large number of users.
"It says the DirecTV company does not give up its position in the sports industry in the development of the thing in the industry, this is a very good strategic position.
"It comes down to their competitors bearer services, they have the same cost structure, therefore, is chosen and the reason for opting out. The other side is not what else there is a data service and telephone service, DirecTV - they can not afford as they can make their own video business loss leader. "

NATA President Emphasizes Vital Role that Athletic Trainers Play in Recognizing and Managing Concussions
National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) President, Jim Thornton, emphasized the value of the athletic trainer in caring for the overall health and well-being, including concussion management, of student-athletes during his visit to central New York on October 4-5, 2012. “It is the professional education, training, and mentorship that athletic trainers receive that makes them uniquely qualified to not only manage a student-athlete’s injury and return him/her to activity in a safe and timely manner, but they also provide injury prevention and long-term wellness strategies in providing comprehensive health care to these active individuals,” said Thornton to an audience of Syracuse University (SU) athletic department officials and New York State Athletic Trainers’ Association (NYSATA) members. “Because of the specialization of the modern athletic trainers’ education and continuing education, the methods and techniques they perform on student-athletes are also invaluable to other patients and clients engaging in activities where injuries occur,” he continued.
The vital role that athletic trainers play in recognizing, referring, and implementing a return-to-play protocol for athletes who sustain a concussion was discussed by President Thornton on a local sports radio station, 1260AM WSKO, during a 15-minute interview later that day. He also called attention to the need for more athletic trainers at the secondary school level, as only approximately 42-percent of public high schools have access to a certified athletic trainer.
President Thornton’s visit comes three months after the Concussion Management and Awareness Act went into effect for all public and charter schools in New York State. To assist school districts in being compliant with this law, the NYS Education Department, in consultation with NYSATA and other health care organizations, has released Guidelines for Concussion Management in the School Setting, in which athletic trainers play an integral role.
On October 2, two days before President Thornton’s visit, the fall 2012 meeting of the NYSED’s Committee for Athletic Training was also held at Syracuse University. Following the meeting, NYS Board for Medicine and Committee for Athletic Training Executive Secretary, Walter Ramos, and Education Credential Specialist, Kevin Kroencke, along with members of the AT Committee, were given a tour of the athletic training facilities by Tim Neal, an AT Committee member and Assistant Director of Athletics for Sports Medicine at SU. A first for many, they were able to see firsthand the range of skills that athletic trainers bring to their clinical practice and the value they provide as health care professionals.
NATA President Jim Thornton's visit and presentation, as well as the visit by NYSED staff brought attention to the value of athletic trainers as the premier health care provider to athletes. President Thornton’s presence, knowledge, and vision had a great impact on the athletic training professionals in attendance, the administrators, team physicians, coaches, and student-athletes he met while in Syracuse, and to the central New York community through his local radio interview.

The New York State Athletic Trainers’ Association (NYSATA), founded in 1976 and incorporated in 1989, stands to advance, encourage and improve the profession of athletic training by developing the common interests of its membership for the purpose of enhancing the quality of health care for the physically active in New York State.

Empowering Blind and Visually Impaired Individuals Is About Building Confidence and Anti Bullying Through The Practice Of Judo And Waking Up Our Dreams
In the popular ABCTV show, "What Would You Do?," with John Quinones, events are staged by actors to see what people do when confronted with hurtful actions by people in public places.
Here's some “What would you do?” parenting dilemmas to consider:
Imagine that your child is blind or visually impaired. Constantly, you warn them about falling down. They want to learn to ride a bicycle, but keep falling and hurting themselves. You fear for their safety, but want them to have a normal life. What would you do?
Neighborhood kids take your child to the playground. Hours later, a stranger calls. Your child was left stranded in the park not knowing how to get home. What would you do?
In high school, teenagers taunt the students who guide your child from class to class. Calling them retarded or stupid. What would you do?
Would you try to shelter your child? Would you take away the bicycle and tell them it is too dangerous? Would you seclude your child in schools for the blind and avoid neighborhood kids who fail to understand that bullying the blind is cruel and unacceptable?
All parents struggle to keep children safe while encouraging them to dream, but it is more challenging for parents of blind children since the statistics are stacked against dreams of independent living. Dr. Lavi, author of The Wake Up and Dream Challenge, spoke with Ron Peck, co-founder of the Blind Judo Foundation, Lori Pierce and her parents to understand what helps 30% of blind adults become self-sufficient following their dreams.
Lori Pierce's parents grappled with safety issues daily as they raised their adopted daughter, Lori who is blind. Miraculously, they gave her the confidence to not only ride a bike, but also to run track and play modified soccer. They practiced what Dr. Lavi calls "dream parenting," encouraging their children to follow their dreams even when they are attempting to do something they may be concerned about.
Despite their fears, the Pierce’s trusted Lori’s judgment while keeping a watchful eye. Lori’s seven siblings treated her as “normal” and also encouraged her to try things. With “dream” parents and siblings, Lori learned to “dream” of possibilities. She met and exceeded the “challenges” along the way.
When the Pierce's learned about the Blind Judo Foundation's program, they dared to introduce her to a sport many parents would have feared. Their experiences make them strong supporters of a new campaign to raise money for the Blind Judo Foundation which they believe was life changing and crucial in empowering Lori.
Judo taught Lori how to fall down, get up and persevere. It empowered her to stand tall and triumphant as the 1st Silver Medalist as a member of the 2004 US Paralympic Judo Team held in Athens. She gained the self-confidence to pursue and complete a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology at the University of Texas, far from her family in Colorado.
Judo also helped her believe in her ability to coach blind children in Judo, work on her Teaching Certificate and live independently at age 28. It all started by "waking up and dreaming" of things many blind people do not dare to dream.
Dr. Lavi believes that Blind Judo and how Lori's parents responded to the unique challenges of raising a blind child played a significant part in why Lori and her dreams thrived. Since Dr. Lavi believes that if one person can accomplish a dream, anyone can, she launched a joint fundraising campaign to help the Blind Judo Foundation teach blind and visually impaired children and wounded warriors to fall down so that they too can learn to dream it forward like Lori.

Doctor Launches Fail Proof Fat-Loss Blueprint
Dr. Steve Young is launching his new, immediately accessible weight-loss program for $77 dollars. The program isn’t a diet because, according to Dr. Young, “diets don’t work.” The Perfect Transformation program acts as a map to weight loss for both men and women.
“I wanted to design a complete program to get you from A (your current body) to B (your ideal body) without stress, dieting, or guilt. Diets have been proven to not work. Think about it. How many diet programs are out there or being published on Amazon.com? Yet, the obesity rate in the U.S. is continuing to grow. I wanted people to have a real option for weight loss, a realistic roadmap to transformation,” said Doctor Steve Young DPT, CSCS.
The Permanent Transformation Program offers weekly-customized instructions to slowly, permanently change how a person eats. The affordable weight loss program also includes simple, but shockingly effective, mental strategies designed to instantly increase weight loss success by more than 627%. “People will discover what their current eating habits, strengths and weaknesses are with my program. Plus, I provide customized steps to tackle obstacles to permanently change how someone eats without dieting, guilt, or stress,” continued Dr. Young.

Linus Bike, a Commuter Bike Manufacturer, Responds to Plans for Safer Bike Lanes in New York City
On October 17th, commuter bike manufacturer Linus Bike comments on an article published by DNAinfo.com concerning the first protected bike lane on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and the plans to extend it.
According to DNAinfo.com, in an effort to create safer bike lanes, Community Board 7’s Transportation Committee created a mile-long lane on Columbus Avenue along a curb of parked cars that separates cyclists from motorists. Although the article reveals that the lanes have stirred up debates, “dozens of cyclists and cycling advocates voiced strong, often emotional support for increasing the number and span of bike lanes in the neighborhood — and took CB7 to task for dragging its heels on the process of introducing more.” Advocates are hopeful to extend the Columbus Avenue lane as well as build an additional lane on Amsterdam Avenue, DNAinfo.com reports.
The DNAinfo.com article states that the bicycle advocacy group Upper West Side Streets Renaissance are stressing the importance of safer bike lanes and pushing for the extension. According to Jason Latty, Sales Manager for commuter bike manufacturer Linus Bike, “Bicycle safety can’t continue to be ignored. It’s evident that cycling is growing increasingly popular which makes it important that infrastructure changes to keep cyclists safe. With the right changes motorists and cyclists should be able to share the streets peacefully and safely.”
Upper West Side Streets Renaissance will continue to fight for safer bicycle lanes, reports DNAinfo.com and according to group member Ken Coughlin, “What we get are pedestrian refuges. Cars are no longer able to cut the corners, and we don’t know how many lives that has already saved.”
Linus Bike is a California-based bicycle manufacturer that specializes in creating vintage style city bikes and commuter bikes. Not simply a bicycle company, Linus Bike offers a full line of accessories for the environmentally conscious and for those who have a fondness for European style bicycles and the great tradition of European cycling.
