April 5th, 2012 at 8:22 AM
it depends on which way you look at it…i look at this masters as being rory’s to lose. so coming from that perspective, it’s hard to consider it wide-open at all.
April 5th, 2012 at 8:23 AM
Thats awesome, those angry roomate notes were just the best. Afterwards the rest of the roomates who hate the douche have a good laugh.

Mickelson spoke at length yesterday about how “soft” the greens were w.r.t. previous years due to all the early spring rain, and said that as a result the less experienced players had a great opportunity to stay within striking distance because errant shots into the green wouldn’t be penalized as they normally would.
So I changed my pick to Keegan Bradley because he hits moonballs (like Tiger does now) that should enable him to go pin hunting.

April 5th, 2012 at 8:31 AM
The Masters has begun. It’s wide-open this year.
Only in the sense that every 95-player tournament is wide open. Very few people would take the field vs. rory/phil/tiger. Also, Garrigus tripled the first. He’s done.
April 5th, 2012 at 8:31 AM

April 5th, 2012 at 8:32 AM

April 5th, 2012 at 8:33 AM
Blake Griffin is so fun to watch and he’s a very good NBA player, BUT I will see nothing wrong with someone drilling him in the playoffs if he tries that dunk-and-posture stuff. Not what that Jason Smith did to him (that shit is dirty), but a solid foul similar to what we saw from Westbrook on LeBron last night.
April 5th, 2012 at 8:34 AM
that was funny as shit.
April 5th, 2012 at 8:34 AM
Mint at Augusta, they have a water removal system built into the greens called Sub-Air. Traditionally, WED night they ramp it ump and the greens play dryer than all the practice rounds.
My understanding is they only run between rounds, so if it rains/drizzles during the round, a golfer can really attack soft greens. But they’ll ron those things at night and keep those greens hard. But Bradley is a fine player.
Fairway mud balls are going potentially the topic du jour.

April 5th, 2012 at 8:41 AM
This… I don’t get. So dunking of folks trying to block your shot and not being expressive afterwards is somehow something to retaliate against. There is nothing that can be done after a huge dunk that wouldn’t be described as “posturing”. EVERYONE can see what just happened. Even Andrew Bynum had this “oh my gawd” look on his face after the second dunk and he’s the designated retaliator.

But I had to chuckle at this:
“Head coach Dusty Rhodes declined to comment, and other players on the Panthers’ roster were not available for comment.”

April 5th, 2012 at 8:51 AM
I don’t understand the concept of picking a long shot to win a golf tournament. If you’re not picking the top players simply on account of their higher win % then you’re just flat out making a wild guess and all the reasons you tendered to support the guess are pretty much manufactured justification of a largely baseless prophecy.
If you go back and check the hit rate of these bold calls, you’ll find it just as inaccurate as a random selection.
All the pros are so good that for any given 4 rounds quite frankly anyone can beat the field if they experience slightly better luck than everyone else.
April 5th, 2012 at 8:51 AM
Jay Cutler did. Or maybe she was the hammer and he was the nail.

For some reason I watched the ’92 Masters highlights on ESPN Classic last night. Gene Sarazen had a better turn at age 91 than I do now.
Looking back now, Couples didn’t exactly outlast “murderer’s row” to win that title. Craig Parry, Ian Baker-Finch, and Ray Floyd (at age 49) were the closest competition.

c’mon dude. Know your lingo. You’re referring to pegging.
You simply cannot believe what docking is.
April 5th, 2012 at 8:55 AM
you answered your own question why anyone would pick a long shot in a golf tourney…because, if they qualify, there really aren’t any long shots. i mean, unless you’re taking mark omeara or some stupid shit like that.
they’re all long shots…so there really aren’t any long shots. it’s all a wild guess…the most impressive statistical player last year was nick watney, who was HORRIBLE in the majors.

All the pros are so good that for any given 4 rounds quite frankly anyone can beat the field if they experience slightly better luck than everyone else.
No. Tiger and Rory can win with their B games. That’s why they are so damn good. Also, putting is a skill, not luck. Any pro who is lights-out with a putter for 4 days can place top 3 (Tom Gilles at Honda, for example). Luck is a factor, but to say it’s the factor, is implausible.
April 5th, 2012 at 8:56 AM
/tilted head confused puppy look
Not so confusing. Just meant “I wanna do her”. Nothing to do with “docking” or “pegging” or any of that stuff.
You know how young guys can be. Always looking for a novel way to say something, in order to sound cool and avant garde.
This was the 80s when we used it, after all.
April 5th, 2012 at 8:57 AM
Or, even, a more novel idea for Blake: you could try to play physical defense on the other end. The next time Blake makes it difficult in someone on the other end of the court will be his first.
I love that Gasol fed his weak offensive game back at him in crunch time.

spencer and scripty – is there such thing as momentum in golf? Like, I keep hearing about how Tiger can carry momentum from that win two weeks ago to The Masters. Is that possible with such a layoff? We always hear about “momentum” in sports, but I assume it applies to many other sports, but not golf because it’s so cerebral.

April 5th, 2012 at 9:02 AM
wait so high fiving your teammates is NOT “posturing” but non expressiveness is? See you run into lots of trouble when you start moralizing about one’s expression following a great play that generates a strong reaction from 30,000 people, both benches and all 9 other guys on the court.
If you’re the kind of dude that takes offense at this kind of stuff its not too long before you go “hey douchebag why not just run back down the court instead of high fiving and what not!”. The problem is more about you (and your shot blocking skills perhaps) than the dunker.
If someone dunks on you, one honorable retaliation is dunking them. A cheap shot would be kind of an asshole move.

No one ever said cheap shotting Griffin is the appropriate response. In fact, I said what Jason Smith did was dirty. But a hard foul, especially in the playoffs when every basket is fucking earned, is totally legit.

April 5th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
Ndub, I’d say it helps to be in form, but there are a billion instances where a player shows up a tourney with his game in shambles, gets 1 tip on the range, and wins.
Examples: Ben Crenshaw hadnt made a cut all year, goes to Augusta, old caddie Carl Jackson lowers his hand on his swing, and Crenshaw wins. Jose Maria Olazabal arrives in shambles, gets this motivational speech from Gary Player at the 1999 Champions dinner, and comes out of nowhere to win.
IMO, it helps if their putting is in form more than anything.
April 5th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
That shit is not cool, either.
April 5th, 2012 at 9:06 AM
If a hard foul is an effective winning basketball strategy why save it for the playoffs or after you’ve been dunked on?

got_em_looking – If you disagree with hard fouls or the premise behind them, listen to what LeBron said in his halftime interview last night after Westbrook’s hard foul. LeBron hated it, but understood it (and probably respected it) with the premise of it being a “playoff foul.”
Now, one can argue why such a hard foul is necessary for a regular season game, but LeBron justified it by saying the game was intense and it was to be expected. I’m sure he expects to see OKC in June anyways.
April 5th, 2012 at 9:16 AM

It’s physically hard to play defense like that. It’s easier on your body to let a guy fly by you for a dunk, and that does happen in the regular season.
So the same reason that the Yankees will pitch Mariano Rivera more in the playoffs, and the same reason a great WR might decide to return punts in the playoffs, is why guys are willing to give hard fouls in the NBA playoffs.

I prefer making out after tongue-punching The Great Divide.
April 5th, 2012 at 9:18 AM
scripty – so, because Tiger’s putting game was on a few weeks ago with the win, the momentum talk is warranted for him this weekend?
the Tiger momentum talk is more so directed towards his confidence. everyone knows he has the phyical ability to win and/or dominate. but when he wins or at least competes every week it’s safe to assume he’s getting increasingly confident in his game, which only enhances those physical abilities.
at least that’s how i view momentum in golf.

The “Great” Divide? You dating Whoopi Goldberg?

Great insight, coach. Now get back to Phillips Arena so Jason knows where he can find you for an impromptu phone call that will be scripted later today.

This went totally over my head, KC.
But just so you know, anything involving Whoopi Goldberg stays very far away from me. Except that movie “Ghost” when it’s re-run on AMC or something. I like Unchained Melody.
April 5th, 2012 at 9:22 AM
I would like to see a study done on this golf “momentum” thing. While it may exist slightly, I am betting it’s VERY small, statistically.

If momentum = success breeds success, then yeah.
The whole momentum talk is pretty 2nd-rate reporting. If a guy plays well it’s because his game is sharp, maybe they should talk about a person’s iron game or putting, vs the arbitrary “momentum”.
April 5th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
I would have gone with a giant plug of ‘backy spit and a mason jar of shine, but I’m guessing that would get you booted from Augusta with the quickness.

April 5th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
guess kissing after The Rocky Balboa is also out of the question?
April 5th, 2012 at 9:24 AM
Oh I guess no one really cares that much about winning regular season games ever since they’ll be a lottery at the end of the regular season to determine the playoff teams and seeding. However your second point suggests this hard fouling business has nothing to do with winning basketball since its employment is necessarily only after personal embarrassment and a bruised ego.
So the strategy for reacting to allegedly selfish posturing is by engaging in a self-serving ego repairing hard foul. I see.
Petty moralizing is quickest way to tie yourself up in knots of cognitive dissonance. Live and let live bro.

I’ll just quote myself from a TBL post that google turned up from years ago on this fine site. It was a Whoopie roast…
“After a two minute Google research search, the large vagina was a joke he made while in blackface on a Whoopi roast. The joke…
The joke I heard was a standard “the woman is a slut” joke. He said having sex with Whoopi was like throwing a hot dog down a hallway.”
April 5th, 2012 at 9:26 AM
momentum in golf is not a tournament by tournament thing…it’s over a long period of time, sometimes multiple years.
hogan never won anything and was a terrible hooker…he practices hitting shots with a weaker grip, cupped wrist, whatever it was and next thing you know, he goes from being broke and on the verge of quitting to being the best golfer in the world.
webb simpson is a no-named collegiate golfer from wake forest ranked somewhere in the 200′s. next thing you know, he’s got a few top 10′s uner his belt. then a close playoff loss. then he wins a nice tourney, then a more prestigious one…next thing you know he’s the best american at the president’s cup.
that’s momentum in golf. shit like that.

90% of these tour pros lean more to the “one shot a time”, “stay in the moment”, “you’ve put the work in on the range, you’re good enough to win out here” sports pyschology psychobabble.
If it’s all about first needing momentum, then that is counterintuitive the stuff above, so I’d say no. That sounds like Scott Van Pelt talking out his ass to me.
Confidence is great. Momentum is an old-fashioned idea to weave a story.

April 5th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
There’s been many studies on the hot hand fallacy in basketball. They usually conclude
a) that streaky shooting is well explained by randomness. I mean if you toss a coin 1 trillion million times you’re going to get multiple streaks of 1 million straight heads and that wouldn’t mean anything.
b) The probability you make your next shot depends on your base rate (shooting %) and not on the whether you made your last shot or not.

April 5th, 2012 at 9:53 AM
Yeah sorry i did miss some of your points. So yes I agree some advanced strategies may be necessary as stakes rise. Someone mentioned pitching your closer multiple inning in a playoff game as a good example.
However I disagree that the employment of these costly advanced strategies should be triggered by an embarrassing play. If I decided keeping Griffin away from the basketball was a sound strategy I will be looking to commit a hard foul even before getting dunked on.
