As some of you may have noticed if you've looked at the tags, my Redskins, Hokies, and Lakers blogs are now residing here. My time and effort to those blogs had become minimal, not to say I've been a workhorse on this blog either but whatever.
Up first, we'll go with the Lakers. The Lakers had three games this weekend with double digit wins over Phoenix (thurs), Denver..again (fri), and Sacramento (Sun). At 11 - 1, there's a feeling that something special is a-brewin'. Everyone knows their role, and does it well. A coming out party for Trevor Ariza this season has been an unexpected surprise. I am still looking for a bit more from Sasha Vujachic but Farmar is showing signs as being the successor to Derek Fisher. Luke Walton has spiralled to a position on the end of the bench. I'm not even sure he has trade value at this point.
The Hokies squeaked by the Blue Devils of formidable Duke. As this game wasn't televised, there's not a whole lot I can say about the actual game. Turnovers seemed to be what made it a tighter affair than what was expected with four turnovers from T-squared in the first half. That still doesn't explain the inability to score against Duke in the second half save for a pick six. A win next week and the Hokies have managed to limp into the ACC game. Still not so sure that's a good thing. I never want to wish bad luck on the Hokies, but part of me needs Bryan Stinespring fired. And success does not act as a catalyst for severance.
The Redskins finally won a game in Seattle. I believe Seattle has put the 'Skins out of the playoffs in 2 of their last 3 meetings and beat them in a regular season matchup as well. The 'Skins were able to move the ball well 30 - 30 but had trouble translating that success into touchdowns.
