Screw You Adrian Dantley

Denver Nuggets fans, 2010 season is not a season to remember.

Early part of the season, Denver seemed poised to even overtake Lakers as the best team in the West. With a strong core that consists of Carmelo Anthony, Chauncy Billups, JR Smith, Kenyon Martin, Nene and Chris Andersen, Nuggets were then picked as the team that is capable of winning the Western Conference championship.

Suddenly, that has changed.

Ever since George Karl took a leave of absence due to his Cancer ailment, the Nuggets have gone disastrous. They went 11-8 in their final 19 games under interim coach Adrian Dantley. They placed second before falling into fourth place in the Western Conference seedings, a seeding which teams tried to avoid facing the Lakers once they advance past the first round.

Now it seems like they're going home early in this year's postseason.

Facing a Utah Jazz team without AK47 and Mehmet Okur, it seemed like it would be a walk in the park for the Nuggets. They won Game one convincingly, 126-113 before falling 3 straight including one on their home floor. Deron Williams simply dominated this Nuggets team with Dantley having no answer for this year's best point guard. To make matters worst, Nene could not even average more than 10 points per game in this series, a fact that only a Fesenko defending him.

Dantley is a clown. He should shoulder the blame for all the Nuggets lost. As a matter of fact, I've never seen any coach fielding in 5 second and third stringers during a second quarter game. How would I forget that his unit of Anthony Carter, Ty Lawson, Malik Allen, Joey Graham and Chris Andersen would be playing at all the same time during a crucial stretch of the second quarter? I hate this guy to death because of his stupidity.

Columnist praised Dantley for his job well done. Here's a link: http://www.aurorasentinel.com/articles/2010/04/15/sports/local_sports/doc4bc7a004bf0b5662129884.txt

Has these people lost their mind praising a coach who couldn't even lead his team past a team that is missing 2 regular starters?

Just remind me if Denver had a sudden change of heart because this guy is just making the Denver Nuggets franchise look bad, just like the look of his ugly face.

Mizuno Infinity Run, My Second 5k Run Preview

Before, when i see people jogging, i used to call them losers. I used to think that these people who are joining fun runs have nothing to do in their life. I used to label them as stupid morons for wasting their energy running around a field.

Remember the slogan, "If you can't beat them, join them."

Serves me right.

After 2 years, my renowned determination to stay fit has led me back to the event that i previously hated the most, which is running. It was only now i realized how running can be such fun. Before, i used to run treadmills for just 5 minutes. I can even barely complete one round of basketball court rounds. That we before when i weighed a whopping 220 lbs.

Now slimmer and lighter at 176 lbs, running has given me a new sport that i can craze about. Running for me is not how you run fast, but how you condition yourself in long runs. Marathons such as those 3K,5K and 10K have given me new challenges that i need to overcome.

Last March, I made my running debut during the Globe's Run For Home 2010. I started with a 5K marathon. During the preparations for this run, i trained myself to stop all negative vices such as smoking, eating a lot of rice and maintaining proper diet. The result was a respective 36 mins for a 5K newbie. For me, it's not bad considering I only prepared 2 weeks for this event.

Now, here comes Mizuno. Again, I'll be running under the 5K category, hoping to surpass my previous mark of 36 mins. Now lighter and more confident, I can see myself besting my previous time. There's no doubt in my mind that i can easily surpass this new challenge and improve my running skills. And another positive side, I can shed off more baby fats that is left under my tummy. :)

So, On April 11 at 5:30 AM, when the gun starts, it's all business. What makes this run more special is that this is my first run since the death of my grandmother and i'm dedicating this run for her. For all these years, she have been pushing me to do better, tone down. Now that she's gone, she can witness from above how her favorite grandson perform a whole lot better in his second 5K run.

For those people who don't know me, I'm a type of person who set goals during an event. During Globe's Run For Home, my goal was to limit my time in less than 45 minutes, which i was able to do. Now, in this second run, i would like to set my time in less than 30 minutes. Hopefully, I could complete the run in less than 30 minutes and set a new all-time for myself. :)
