It's been years since I've seen a team do just about whatever they set out to do on every single offensive possession. Their offense was in such a rhythm, that the Blazers looked like a JV Division II squad on their way to a second home loss in just 3 home games. Can we start pointing fingers yet I'm about to, Nate McMillan.I'm sick of the talking with no results, the lack of emotion from the bench and your apparent confusion in the middle of games. I'm sick of seeing zero growth. I'm sick of seeing zero toughness, one-on-one isolations for Roy, and the pick and roll. I'm sick of seeing zero pick and roll defense, missing defensive assignments and rotations. I'm sick of seeing your players looking completely lost in an offensive set, in a defensive set, and in their general role with this team. You are not getting through to them.You get a semi-pass for an injury plagued preseason which was supposed to be your time to work out kinks, mix in new players and see how much your superstars had grown in the offseason. Instead you dealt with nagging injury after nagging injury, traveled to random exhibitions in Canada and had the LaMarcus Aldridge contract negotiations in the back of your mind. Well "Sarge," we're 5 games deep and you no longer have any excuses.For 3 years now we've been talking about a lack of toughness, frustrations on defense and mediocre point guard play. When are you going to start addressing these things When will we start seeing improvements I understand it's only been 5 games, but I can't take this for another 77.

Right now, the prospect of Svensson flying down the wing flanked by Eberle and Hartikainen (or Lander, or Vandevelde, or Nash), is something I quite look forward to.Oilers Prospects:Jordan Eberle - WHL Player of the Month - 12 GP - 12-13-25Charles Linglet - 13 GP - 5-11-16Devan Dubnyk - 11 GP - 4-6, 3.02 GAA, 0.919 SVMagnus Paajarvi-Svensson - 16 GP - 7-5-12Former Camp Invites:Derek Hulak - fifth in the WHL with 19 GP - 9-19-28Stephan Novotny - 17th in the WHL with 16 GP - 12-9-21 (he had 41 points last year)Burke Gallimore - 19 GP - 7-6-13Kurtis Mucha - 12 GP - 7-4, 3.02 GAA, 0.905 SV. JERUSALEM, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Senior Israeli defence official Amos Gilad will travel to Cairo on Thursday for talks on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said.. The annual South African rugby awards were presented on Monday night at a banquet in Johannesburg.The main award for SA Player of the Year was won for the second time by scrumhalf Fourie du Preez.Also nominated were Morne Steyn, John Smit, Victor Matfield, and Heinrich Brussow. Any of these players would have been deserving of this award.Du Preez has had an outstanding year, and is the fulcrum behind which both the Springboks and Bulls have been able to base their winning campaigns this year.

I dont think well experience anything like that again and that is why the award was extra special."He is now focused on the Springboks end of year tour, "Its important for us to finish the year on a high, but its not going to be easy."Du Preez was also pleased with the inclusion of his Bulls teammates Heini Adams and Francois Hougaard in the Bok squad, "They deserve it. I think Francois is the guy who will take over from Heini and myself when we finish playing in a year or two."After the 2011 World Cup, du Preez may leave South Africa to play overseas, "Im still looking around, but its definitely an option. It will not just be about rugby, but will also be a lifestyle choice when I go overseas."Whilst du Preez has had a great year, the man I thought deserved the main award was Morne Steyn.Steyn has had a superb year, being a large reason behind the Bulls and Springbok successes this year. He has played his way into the Springbok side and smashed his way into the record books. A few years ago, his kicking was very wobbly, but one can see how hard he has worked with kicking coach Vlok Cilliers, to become the world's most accurate kicker.Morne Steyn captured three awards, the prestigious Players' Player of the Year Award, as well as the Test Player of the Lions Series Award, and the Player of the Super 14 Award.Like Steyn, Heinrich Brussow was a newcomer in the Bok team this year, and won the award of Best Provincial Player of the Lions Tour, and the Young Player of the Year Award.Coach of the year went to Peter de Villiers, and in my view he has certainly gotten better and better, and is now one of the world's leading coaches.
