Interleauge Play and Dick Enberg Oh My!
Born on January 9th 1935 Multi faceted Dick Enberg was born He attended Central Michigan University and IU. The first time I heard Dick Enberg was in the mid-1970,s over Los Angeles station 710 KMPC
broadcasting games for The California Angels and UCLA Bruins. The thing about Enberg is he is always pleasant to listen to and he covers sports well. Growing up in Southern California in the small town of Carpinteria California, The voices of the game for me were Scully,Dogget , and Porter in the booth for Dodger games. Chick Hearn High above the Western Sideline at the Fabulous Forum welcoming me to another game in Inglewood Ca. The Showtime Lakers were all the rage in those days. Enberg is now doing local broadcasts for the Padres for the last 2 seasons. This required him to leave March Madness and NFL football was never the same without him and former Ram Merlin Olsen. Dick also has done Wembeldon and the French Open. 2011 will be his last Wembeldon in 2011. The great voices of the game are for the most part story tellers. Tonight he will be at Petco Park covering for television the Mariners, Padres interleauge game If you have the MLB Extra inning package you might want ot tune in to hear Enberg broadcast the game. here is a clipfrom the 1971-79 quiz program Sports Challenge

Bulls dominate defensively 103-82 in Eastern Conference opener
These are not the Jordan era Bulls but as former Laker Coach Pat Riely used to say defense and rebounding wins Championship rings Holding Lebron James and Dwayne Wade to 12/32 shooting and 33 points. The Bulls were led by Derek Rose and Luell Deng scoring 49 points and Carlos Boozer added 14 points and 9 rebs. A superb defensive effort by these Bulls led to a 45-33 overall edge on the boards an an impressive 19-6 edge in offensive rebounding. After an excellent firrst half that ended tied at 48, The Bulls outscored the Heat 46-25 to close out game 1. The Bulls shot 47 percent from 3 point range going 10-21.
Eric Spolestra has a lot of work to do before Tuesday 5.30 PT on TNT. Series amount to who can make adjustments better. It is up to Miami now going into game 2. A great effort by the Bulls is going to cause problems for the South Beach Bums. Coach Spolestras lament was that on those balls that arwe 50-50
in nature were not handled well by Miami. The first adjustment I would advise is bring more energy to the floor it was not there tonight. 2. Spread the floor and create space to improve outside shooting. Eric Spolestra stated there is not any good or bad effortsin the Playoffs only wins and losses. I beg to differ with the Coach tonight was a poor effort and a loss. with rounball reflections I am Mark Alan Janisch twitter@wide world of spor maj14@live.com comment if you have a Google account as well

OKC Thunders into first Westeren Conference Finals 105-90
Thunder 105-90 Over Grizzlies. Scott Brooks leads a team to the Western Conference finals 3 seasons removed from winning 23 games just 3 years ago. The Grizzlies shooting an anemic 39 percent from the floor
failed in part because they could not hit shots Kevin Durant came back strong in game 7 scoring 39 points . Former UCLA star Russel Westbrook dicovered that it was better to distribute the ball rather than take 25-30 shots . I have been a vocal critic of Westbrook for this throughout the series. Westbrook responded with the first Playoff triple double since Scottie Pippen in 1992 14pts 10 rebs and 10 assists. Zach Randolph
the Memphis big man was held to 17pts and 11 rebounds. The key was inside work by former Sonic Nick Collison had 12 Rebounds controling the paint from the outset. It is unfourtanate that OKC has chosen to highjack Sonic history by claiming the Seattle teams records. I will be hoping Dallas takes care of OKC in the Western Conference finals. Dallas will tip off on Tuesday ESPN. This morning I played a song by Marc Cohn from 1991 Walkin in Memphis. Unfourtaantely they will be singing the Delta Blues for awhile.
Another fan base that may be cringe for some time is the Seattle Super Sonic Fan base over what might have been. With reflections on roundball I am Mark Alan Janisch twitter @wideworldof spor maj14@live.com
