Cute pharase, but it shouldn’t be overused

Scott Brooks is not a Championship coach. If he was they would not of lost 4 to 1 in the Finals to Miami last year.
Why is he so in love with Fisher ? Fisher has no tangibles left ? Even if he is shooting 6 of 15 from 3 point range that is misleading. He has a couple of good games…and the rest he has not hit a 3 pointer. And these are usually wide open shots. Fisher is not capable of palying defense…he can’t run, can’t jump and makes bad decisions.
On offense he can’t penetrate and has always been a bad passer. He has never really played the point. Lakers ran the triangle and he just iniated offense with a wide open pass. Keep him on BENCH !!!!

Hero ball, another parrot, this one of Tramel, unrefreshingly repeated by Mayberry.

Parrots don’t know originality.

Another one:

Parrots don’t express their own viewpoint.

Answer from DM:

Comment by Darnell Mayberry on March 12, 2013 @ 2:02 pm
Glenda, I didn’t get the phrase hero ball from Berry. I’m not sure where I picked it up. But I know Berry didn’t come up with the phrase. Just thought you should know. -DM-

Does that answer your question

If the question of comparing the two all-stars numbers; it appears that Durant is more careful with the ball by 0.34 turnovers per game since the two played in the NBA.

Records come from reliable sources such as the NBA. Go and question them if you like!

Assumptions can lead a reporter down a wrong road.

People parent for decades and yet never comprehend what it take to be an exceptional. Or live for five decades and never comprehend what it takes to be an exceptional.

One’s wise words and advise are empty if they’re not employed in the person’s life.

The Oklahoman and its reporters perform a good job at not letting opinion agendas dictate reports. Opinion agendas subtly operating within news and sports accounts always lead away from the straight truth of a matter.

There is a stat for you. 4 1/2 games ahead of Denver. There may be only 2 teams better in all of the NBA, and that may change… Sometimes it is necessary to re-state the obvious, and give a wide view of the forest.
