During his three seasons as the Warriors’ head coach, Mark Jackson sometimes joked that, though other players are low maintenance, Klay Thompson is no maintenance. General manager Bob Myers goes further, saying he sometimes wonders if his starting shooting guard is alive. It would be easy to overlook Thompson if his play didn’t command so much attention. In Golden State’s 97-84 victory Wednesday night over the Grizzlies at Oracle Arena, he scored 27 of his game-high 29 points in... Читать дальше...

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Klay Thompson scored 27 of his 29 points in the first half and made his first nine field goals, leading the undermanned Golden State Warriors past the Memphis Grizzlies 97-84 on Wednesday night for their 10th straight win.

Thompson shot 10 for 16 overall... Читать дальше...

Hi Figure 8 Voyage Followers!

This is Team Figure 8 speaking. Well the list of broken things got to a point today where a different approach was needed – specifically poor Monte broke this time.

The good news is Randall isn’t broken (frustrated but not broken) and the boat is as solid as a rock. However self steering gear is critical for getting around the Horn so Randall will be pulling into Ushuaia Argentina for needed repairs.

It would be foolish to assume that a successful political fundraising event is a guarantee of political success. But it cannot be dismissed. Especially now, when, according to the usual suspects, the Nationalist Party is dead. The €620,319 raised at a fundraising telethon was a first for the PN. It proved its critics wrong.
