Show I 4 The Magna TimesWest Valley News .Thursday, May 4 prtUtah Blitzz grab first victory After shocking the division champion Chico (California) Rooks in their first season game, the Utah Blitzz. A cow is a ruminating quadruped mammal in which the lacteal glands are abnor- mally enlarged description of a cow from The book of Hag Most things are simple including myself, my needs, and my wants; my lifestyle; my expectations; my finances; my reasoning power, and especially my writing. Before the basketball playoffs start, I would like to convince you of how simple a game of basketball is. People try to make it very complex, but it isnt the ball is round and the floor is smooth, the rim is round and the bank board square. Its a simple enough game. Some of the more noted writers try to make it a puzzle. They talk of triangle offenses, and tempo, and intimidation. Some dwell on playoff experience and whos watching who. What it boils down to is - who has the best players. If you have the best players, you can run the square offense; the parallelogram offense; or the rectangular offense. You can run xyz, or the double, triple, inverted whammy. It doesn't matter. Its Academic if you have the best players. A cow maybe more complex than basketball, since a cow has two stomachs, while some players and most officials don't have any stomach for the game. The object of basketball is to make a lot of baskets while preventing your opponents from doing the same. As you can see shooting ability is very important. If you cant shoot, basketball loses much of its simplicity. The Jazz have a couple of players who couldnt make a basket if you locked them in the Delta Center over night. So, winning basketball requires first to get a shot, and then to make it. Some players can get their own shots. These players make good coaches of out ordinary Philistines. Other players have to have help to get a shot, thats where good hard screens become important. Pin point passing is also a factor Ala John Sockton and other point guards. Getting the ball to the Utahs new mens professional soccer team, chalked-u- p the first victory of their inaugural season, beating the Colorado Comets (in Colorado) three to two, in sudden-deat- h overtime. Goals shooter, when he is open- - now shoot sixty percent and youll win most of your games, wimple isnt it. Here's the formula: get the ball, get open and make the shot, dont let the other team get the ball, get open or make their shot as I said, rimary Basketball is a simple game. Simons Says: Pauel Bure must have been hit in the head with a hockey puck when he decided not to marry Anna Koumilova. Simons Says: when a player and an official bump heads, there is a hollow sound. It is not always from the player. Simons Says: I think experience is overrated. The pilgrims didnt have any experience. A lot of officials have years of experience. Doesnt help them? Simons Says: Most of the N.F.L. teams drafted for sped this year. I think so the players could run from the law: Eiildran Salt Lake Community Colleges Bruin baseball team is planning to share some smiles and laughter with children who are patients at Primary Children's Hospital.
