Sydney to Hobart yacht race: Favorite Wild Oats out of contention
All eyes are on the big, bad, southerly buster that could wreak havoc on the opening night of Saturday’s Sydney to Hobart race. We are shattered – we came a long way. “We hope it’s not too much wind so we can just continue racing right through”.
Ah, yeah, just a little. If physically I can’t play, if I’m not able to play, [then] I physically just can’t.
Beijing steps up security amid alerts of threats against Westerners
Beijing authorities put swaths of the city under lockdown, stationing armed guards on street corners and in pedestrian plazas. No further details were given about the nature of the threat or where the information came from.
Sometimes in this job, against my instigating nature, I have no choice but to take the easier side, the easier side generally not a lot of fun and much less likely to produce the sort of poison emails that accuse me of having the mental capacity of a bowling pin. “Most people who’d say, ‘Oh, I’m not going to this game, ‘ now those people are like, ‘This is Kobe’s last game, we’ve got to go check this out.’ It’s pretty special”. After the game, Kobe and KD swapped sneakers and Kobe took the time to write Durant a short and positive bit of encouragement on his signature pair of Kobe X Elite Highs: “To KD: Be the greatest”.
“It was like the starting gates opened up and the horses ran out”, Bryant said. Here I’m sitting at 18. Both players now find themselves in the top 16 all-time in scoring, and both players know they need to cherish their time left in the league and their time against each other.

F Blake Griffin added 13 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists as the Clippers (17-13) snapped their three-game losing streak. The Los Angeles Clippers have split their last six road games.
But in their last seven games before Wednesday’s fall to the Thunder, Bryant improved his numbers to 20.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. The Thunder is 14-2 against Western Conference teams.
Playing up to the level of their competition is something the Clippers have yet to do this season.
“Tonight, my bones just couldn’t get loose”, said Bryant, who turned 37 in August. “His mental aspect of the game was off the charts”. “It’s lovelly to have Dale back, you always want a world-class bowler in your team and he has shown great hunger”. Durant also blocked Bryant’s 3-point attempt on one sequence, prompting Bryant to laugh before challenging him again. Nor did fans worry about the Lakers’ season-long struggles. “I think certain guys earn that right and unfortunately for other guys who can’t make it, they have to earn that right too”. “But Kobe should be on the All-Star team”.
Primarily, it’s the inefficiency and awful defense of Jamal Crawford and Paul Pierce that’s a problem.
