What a terrible way to end the year for the Spurs. The lack of composure leading to suspensions really hurt. 3rd is a good result and they had a huge run through the season and lots to look forward to.
Next year will be interesting, as you can't expect the big teams to stay down for long.

This is something. The security is going to have to step up at events.

We did do something similar in high school with basketball. We scrimmaged the girls team often and basically ran the plays that their upcoming opponent ran. The girls played tougher and got more aggressive after a few weeks of scrimmaging with us.

Best part of the article is at the end referencing the Dream Team loss in practice.
"If one suspects a result such as this would preclude that sort of success, it’s helpful to revisit the occasion of a practice game between the U.S. Olympic “Dream Team” of NBA stars in 1992 that included Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Charles Barkley. In Barcelona, the U.S. smashed every opponent by at least 32 points. But those who know that team’s history recall it was beaten by a 62-54 margin in a practice game by a select team of collegians featuring Penny Hardaway, Chris Webber, Grant Hill and Bobby Hurley.
“Those young kids were killing us,” Scottie Pippen said in a documentary produced by NBA TV.
It happens.
That’s why they call it “practice.”"
I guess I'll believe it when he's wearing red, a 29 year old striker doesn't exactly fit Wenger's buying habits. I kind of wonder if he'd even be a good fit for Arsenal, Leicester played a very fast paced, counter attacking offense that Vardy thrived in.
You realize back in 1992 the US could have sent that team of Hardaway, Weber, etc to the Olympics and won a gold medal with it? Do you think the U15 Newcastle team would beat the English Nationals? This is just practice but it reinforces the fact that guys and girls aren't on the same level. The fact our politically correct society can't say this is sad. The internet brings out the misogynism but there are simple facts that shouldn't simply be obscured. It's another dart in their equal pay argument as well.
Everton is in the process of buying Leicester City's head recruiter, Steve Walsh, the paperwork and final negotiations are underway right now
