#New Kings - Picking Up Neil - Pt. 2 | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

Note

Alice in wonderland fix but I really don’t know what character Andrew would be. Like the twins seem so obvious but I think the Cheshire Cat would be better bc of the smile and also how extremely unhelpful he is? Or maybe the mad hatter idk. Riko’s definitely the queen of hearts, and Kevin’s the white queen. I just think the concept of Neil running from his parents and falling down a rabbit hole is neat.

brUHHHHHHHH

(i didnt bother with the anthropomorphic shite because effort)

Neil flattened his palms on the hem of his sky-blue skirt, wondering how the hell he was going to get out of this place. He’d followed a harrowed-looking man with three red hearts tattooed and a pocket-watch clutched in his hand into a rabbit hole, and now he was standing in a field of talking flowers after growing to the size of his father’s manor and back down to an eighth of an inch.

His father would be furious. He’d vanished from a very important gathering, of which Nathan Wesninski’s son was expected to attend. Then again, his mother would be relieved he’d found an escape, even if it meant she paid the price for his absence.

Neil was terrified of his father, but he didn’t want his mum to bear the weight of his actions in his stead. So he had to find a way back.

“Why,” said a voice. “Are you lost, young one?”

Neil looked up. Perched on a large mushroom was a woman, not too much older than himself. She had a head of golden ringlets and a superior-esque smile: between her fingers she held a pipe, smoke drifting and curling in an absent breeze.

“Who are you?” Neil demanded. He was sure she hadn’t been there a moment ago.

She shrugged. “People call me Allison. You can, if you like. Would you like a puff?”

Neil, who missed his mother already, reluctantly nodded and clambered up the mushroom to sit beside her.

“A lovely day for a stroll,” she said, slotting her pipe between his fingers.

Neil took a drag. “What is this place? How did I get here?”

“How would I know?” Allison retorted. “I’m just a girl sitting on a mushroom, smoking. Breathe out, won’t you?”

He did: she curled her finger and he watched in awe as the smoke warped and rippled, forming shapes in the air. The young woman frowned, squinting.

“Change is imminent, boy. You’d best be off.”

“How did you -”

“Goodbye, Neil,” she said, taking back the pipe and disappearing behind a cloud of smoke. He blinked. How had she known his name?

He slipped off the mushroom and lost a black slipper on the way. He walked around the dirt pathway’s bend and found a large, gnarled tree, the path splitting around it and veering off into two directions. Both were shrouded in darkness.

Neil huffed. Refusing to overthink it, he veered towards the left.

A new voice stopped him. “I wouldn’t go that way, if I were you.”

“Well, you’re not me,” he said, petulant. The voice had come from above him: looking up, he spotted a short man, perched on the old tree’s thinnest branch. Another blonde, another strange place, another cryptic message. Neil was beginning to understand this place: it sucked.

The man hummed, eyebrow arched. “Not many have been stupid enough to ignore me. What did you say your name was?”

“Neil,” Neil snapped. “And I want to go home.”

“Really?” He fell backwards off the branch and swung, holding on with his knees to look at Neil whilst upside-down. “Why are you here, then, if you’re so keen on where you once were?”

“I just followed the man with the watch,” Neil argued. “I wasn’t looking to get stuck here. Wherever here is. Which is where, exactly?”

“Everywhere,” the man said, voice flat and ineffectual. “Nowhere. You’ll never find answers with questions like those.”

“Fuck you,” Neil said with false cheer, walking around the man and continuing on the path he’d been told not to take. Spite was a powerful motivator, after all.

“Neil,” said the man. “Say hello to Betsy for me, won’t you?”

Neil flipped him off: the blond barked out a single laugh, which echoed in the darkness.

Neil wasn’t afraid. There were worse things than the dark. His own skin was proof of that.

Wherever he was going, he hoped to never encounter blonde men lazing on tree branches again. This day was already strange enough: he didn’t need a headache on top of that.

A house appeared on the edge of the darkness, the dilapidated cottage on a cliff overlooking a large forest. In the distance was a looming castle, shrouded by a melancholic cloud that occasionally sparked and rumbled. A gust of wind sent shivers down Neil’s spine and he curled his arms around his stomach, wishing for a cardigan.

Behind the cottage was a long table, set for tea. Despite the dozen spots, only three individuals were present, each one as perplexing as the next.

The first was a tall man, bronzed, hair curling around his ears. He was practically hopping up and down in his chair, talking a million miles a minute.

The second was a tiny man, sleeping inside of a teapot on the table. With dismay, Neil realised he looked exactly like the blond man who he’d encountered in the dark woods. How had he already arrived, when Neil had just spoken to him?

The third was a woman, oddly calm and composed. She was plump with greying brown hair and smile-wrinkles around her eyes. When the bronzed man poured the teeny blond into his cup of tea, she plucked him out and sat him in a teacup full of sugar cubes.

“Who are you?” said the tall man, finally acknowledging Neil’s presence. “Are you here for tea? Betsy! We have another guest!”

“Quite,” the woman said, smiling. Neil didn't trust that smile one bit.

“So you’re Betsy,” he said.

“Ah,” she nodded. “Come across Andrew, did you?”

“He said to say hello,” Neil curled his fists in the hem of his dress, ignoring the tall man’s lavish stares.

Betsy’s laughter tinkled like bells in the wind. She readjusted her hat. “Sit Neil. We were just about to serve tea.”

“Next time, don’t serve me,” the tiny blonde grouched, crossing his arms. He wasn’t Andrew, Neil decided. It was rather plain to see, now that Neil had heard him speak.

“That’s Aaron,” Betsy said. “Andrew’s twin. This is Nicky, their cousin. I am Betsy, though you already knew that. Sugar?” She picked up the cup that Aaron was still in, ignoring his squawk.

“No, thank you,” Neil said, remembering how his father would pinch his side if he forgot his manners. “It’s an odd time for tea, isn’t it?”

“We are always having tea,” Nicky said, voice saddened. “We are doomed to a constant tea party, where no one ever shows. But it is what it is!” He and Betsy clinked their teacups together and took a sip. “How about you, Neil? What did you do to the King?”

“I’ve done nothing to the King,” Neil said, affronted. “I don’t even know who he is!”

“But you will,” Aaron said, clambering out of the teacup. “Not knowing him is a grievous offence. Everyone must know and adore the King.”

“But I’m not from here,” Neil said, miserable.

Without the constraints of a teacup or teapot, Aaron grew to a normal (albeit still short) size, identical to that of his brother. He immediately yawned and ignored the broken crockery and spilled milk, curling up for a nap.

“Don’t mind him,” Nicky said. “It’s better that he sleeps. He is brilliantly angry when awake.”

“None of this makes any sense,” Neil insisted. “I just want to go home. Where can I find the man with the pocketwatch? He was the one I followed.”

“Three hearts on his cheek?” Betsy inquired. Neil nodded. She looked over her shoulder at the large castle. “You’ll find him in the castle. He is cursed to never be quite on time: you should be able to catch up with him, if you hurry.”

Neil looked at the castle’s horrid silhouette. “You’re mad.”

“Yes,” Betsy agreed. “But aren’t we all?”

“I’m not going there. I don’t want to die.”

“Craziness or death,” Nicky said, sullen. “You can’t escape your fate, and there's only two options.”

“You should visit the Queen before you go to the castle,” Betsy advised. “He may be able to help.”

Nicky was right: Neil was still alive here, so he had to be going insane. “He?”

“Indeed,” Nicky said. “Why, is there something wrong with that?”

Neil just blinked. There was something wrong with everything here. He hadn’t once encountered something that behaved in a way Neil could predict. “No. Let’s go visit the Queen.”

in a hypothetical pt. 2, we’ll meet the others!

you should see me in a crown | teaser

Here’s a little teaser to a series I’m thinking about writing. It’d start with Billy’s entrance in season 2, and follow his adjustment to Hawkins as he tries to take over the social scene. It seems like it’ll be easy until something throws him for a loop: you. Your murky dating history and the rumors that surround you intrigue our soon-to-be King of Hawkins. Read on to let me know what you think, and let me know if you want to be tagged!

Also, no one can convince me Billie Eilish’s song you should see me in a crown wouldn’t have been Billy’s anthem when it came to Hawkins High so that’s the name inspiration here.

Words: 924 (remember, it’s just a little teaser)

Warnings: Cursing. Lots of cursing (but it’s Billy, so does that shock anyone?).

intro | pt. 1

Billy was no stranger to being the new kid. Between his mom and Neil’s divorce, Susan and her brat joining their “happy little family”, and his “behavioral issues”, the blond had been to more than his fair share of new schools. Throughout his time jumping from one school to another, he learned a few things: always maintain the badass vibe, never get too attached to anyone, figure out who ran the place quick, and dethrone them. Hawkins was just a drabby, pathetic excuse of a high school in the middle of bum-fuck-nowhere. He’d taken over bigger— and far fucking nicer—schools than this in weeks. The California blond took one look at the school and knew it’d only be a matter of time before he had the student body of this shithole just begging to bow down. Billy figured he’d barely have to do any work, that he’d have the information down before the end of the first week.

He was right. He had it in three days.

The funny thing about people growing up together, staying best friends with the same kids since pre-school, and all that other sentimental bullshit is that it makes them pretty easy to read. And if there’s one thing Billy Fucking Hargrove could do, it was read people. It was like reading through a kid’s book: the cliques and groups were so clear, it made California high schools look complicated (and those were some bitchy kids who didn’t even pretend to give a fuck about anyone outside of their little circles). Billy had his first target’s name before lunch on day one was over. Steve Harrington: the King of Hawkins High. By the end of the day, he managed to get all the gossip out of these two chicks who were just drooling over him in study hall. He sent them one smirk, and they were practically sitting in his lap by the end of the period. He knew Harrington’s basketball stats, his girlfriend, hell he probably could’ve even gotten the kid’s address. It was almost laughable how easy it was.

His second target was harder to suss out.

Every king has a queen, and Billy knew the social picture wouldn’t be complete until he figured out who the queen bee of this joint was. He assumed it would just be Harrington’s girl, but it quickly became clear that was very wrong. Whatever social status she must’ve had to snag Harrington seemed to have gone out the window the year before Billy got there (some shit about a missing kid, a crazy mom, and a stalker with a camera). It took him the first half of day two to figure out she wasn’t his second target. It took him until the end of the day before he’d heard another girl’s name enough to realize who the queen was.

(Y/N) (Y/L/N).

He’d heard it in a couple of rumors being thrown around, had seen it in a few articles in the pathetic excuse for the school newspaper, and had even heard it in a class or two of his. It didn’t really catch his attention until he heard some guys in the locker room going on and on about this chick after gym. He tuned into the conversation only halfway through, his ears picking up the name that had been thrown around so much that day.

“Sure, Stacy’s hot, but did you see (Y/N)’s ass in those shorts? Fuck man. That’s where it’s at.”

That was when it clicked. Nancy Whatsherface might’ve been dating the current king, but she was just the spoilt little princess of Hawkins High. You, however, were the fucking queen. It was sorta weird for some chick whose only relationship to the king was her friendship with his girlfriend, but Billy didn’t waste any time thinking too much on it. Hell, if anything it just added at least a little intrigue to this boring fucking town. Something he was more than happy to discover.

Billy spent all of day three gathering as much information about you as possible. And he learned a lot. You were the captain for the Hawkins High cheer squad (which meant you were fucking fit). You were “close” friends with all the girls on the squad, closer still to Harrington’s chick, but didn’t really have any one best friend. You were apparently “nice,” and “super sweet,” and “bubbly” and some shit like that. Every time Billy heard about how smart or decent you were, he was thrown a little more. Girls didn’t usually become the top of the food chain by being “nice,” but he chalked it up to just being some weird result of being stuck in fucking Hawkins, Indiana. All of that was easy to overlook when he heard what he was really looking for: you were (supposedly) a freak in the sheets.

Not that anybody really knew for sure. Apparently, you refused to date anybody since your first boyfriend. Which was fine by him, since Billy didn’t want anyone’s sloppy seconds. All anyone knew were the whispered rumors, started by your ex and maintained by your cheer squad as they hissed back and forth about your “adventures” last summer. Honestly, Billy didn’t give a fuck about how easy you were to get in the back of his Camaro. There were plenty of girls to keep him occupied in the meantime. He just knew he wanted you there by the time the school year was up.

After all, what better way to unseat a king than by fucking the queen?

The Midway returns for its annual one and only Friday show of the year, April 19, 2019. The theme: funeral songs. For some, a sombre or pithy reflection. For others, a sentimental soundtrack - or even a jolly celebration. Some of these songs have become legends unto themselves, while others have birthed new traditions. Enjoy a wickedly woke wake as we explore some famous funeral tunes, and invite listeners to get in touch with their own bury melodies.

Costa Blanca South Bowls Roundup

Horadada Bowls Club by Irene Graham On Monday in the Discovery Division the Falcons were at home to Vistabella Eagles and we really needed a far better result than what was achieved considering we were playing the team at the bottom of the division. The teams were quite well matched throughout with one rink cancelling out another. It was down to the last rink to finish to see which side got the overall shots. Horadada were holding 5 shots with one bowl to come. Their skip came in with the best of bowls and stole them all from us. We won on 2 rinks and lost on 3 with Vistabella obtaining the overall shots. The final result was 91 shots for to 95 against giving us 4 points to 8 against. Our winning rinks were: Wayne Jackson, Les Davies and Mick Kirby 27 – 19, Tracey Paffett, Ken barber and Roy Thomson 18 – 14 Well played to both of our winning rinks. There are two matches left to play in the winter league, both at home. We can still do this Falcons. There are only 4 points between us and the team above us in the table, so all to play for in these final games. We have the knowledge, we have the skill, we have the man power and most of all we have that drive to succeed. On Friday in the Southern League the Royals were at home to San Luis Leopards. What a beautiful sunny warm morning and it certainly shone on the Royals. Most of the rinks were nip and tuck with the lead changing back and forth a few times. Horadada just pulled ahead in the closing ends. Friday’s result made it three in a row for the Royals. Our winning rinks were: John Goddard, Mick Kirby and Bryan Eatough 20 – 13 Carol Linehan, Wayne Jackson and Sheila Westwood 33 – 13 Irene Graham, Alan Miller and Terry Hucknall 21 – 16 Dave Bracken, Jack Linehan and Barry Evans 22 – 10 We just missed a clean sweep by two shots. The final result was 116 shots for Horadada to 74 against giving us 10 points to 2 against. Very well played to all of our players. Our last match is against the top of the table, but we are at home so let’s make it count Team Horadada. Horadada offers a warm welcome to new or experienced bowlers, and provides the necessary equipment. Our roll-up days for this friendly club are Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings. Please contact Fred Trigwell on 659139129 for more information. La Siesta Bowls Club By Rod Edgerton Disappointing Monday for our 3 teams on Monday in matches against teams from San Luis.

COUNTRY BOWLS CLUB Firstly, many apologies with a mistake made regarding the names of one of the winning teams. Last Monday in the match against El Rancho, rink 3 should have read Graham Richardson, Pat Ray & Brian Ray 44 – 4. Again apologies to Pat & Brian Ray, a tremendous result. The Flamingos travelled to El Rancho to take on the Raiders this Monday. Not withstanding the tricky rinks there was a strong wind blowing, making conditions extremely challenging. As you would expect the home team made the most of the conditions and the Flamingos struggled to show their own craft. In the end it was the ‘old dependable’s’ Graham Richardson, Pat Ray & Brian Ray who collected our only points. Well done. There were some very hard games being fought but sadly the Flamingos came out second best. Better luck next time Flamingos. The Geckos, today welcomed the La Siesta Golds to their club for a return match. Having lost 9-3 away at La Siesta earlier in the season, the Geckos were out for revenge today. La Siesta Golds are currently 4th in the league so it was going to be a tough game but the Geckos were determined to take the shine off the Golds!! The game was nip and tuck for the first half with the Golds giving as well as they were getting. At the end the Geckos had achieved their revenge in bucket loads with a 10-2 win and shots of 116-64. The victors were: Sylvia Rennie, Jean Turner, Jim Rennie 29-9; Viv Brown, Pat Ray, Brian Ray 28-7; Carole Donnellan, Les Turner, Den Birkett 31-13; Graham Richardson, Pat Emmett, Geoff Paylor 21-15. A great win for Country Bowls Geckos. In the penultimate game of the season 5th place Country Bowls Cubs had their work cut out against 3rd place La Marina Merlins in their away match on Friday afternoon. Games flowed back and forth and the standard of bowling was exceptional. The Cubs were hoping to take leave with some points in the bag and managed to win on 2 rinks giving them 4 points which was not too shabby a result for the newcomers to the league. The shots were 90 to 72 in La Marinas favour with the overall score being 8 - 4 to the home team. Well done Cubs. Winning rinks were Joel Fernandez, Agnes Burke, Lynne Bryce and Chris Stevens, Craig Dyson, Andrew Bryce. For more information on Country Bowls Club visit www.countrybowlsmurcia.com email [email protected], or tel 966191552/635086742 El Rancho Bowls Monday morning found the Palominos entertaining the Saturns from Emerald Isle and put in an excellent effort in taking 4 rinks and the overall shots, just the job for the old feel good factor. Helga Schiffman, Janet Wright and David Wright 19-16. Tony Abbott, Debbie Ham and Adrian Ham 15-12. Dolly Ford, Carol Gray and John Richards 16-14. Gary Dunstone, Tony Robinson and Mike Ager 17-21. Ngaio Baldwin, Ann Abbott and Pete Baldwin 21-16. The Pintos were at La Marina playing the Pathfinders were a stiff breeze caused a little consternation, but the Pathfinders took advantage of the home mat, taking 3 rinks to the Pintos 2. But 2 rinks away from home is always a good result. In the afternoon the Raiders played host to Country Bowls Flamingos and also put in a great effort, taking the rinks by 4 to 1 and the overall shots, a great result. Monday morning found the Raiders at Greenlands playing the elms and put on a good show in taking 2 rinks, a good away result, well done all. Meanwhile the Broncos had a tough fixture at Montemar against the Matadors, always a difficult opponent, though a favourite of mine. Although the Broncos came away without a point, they put in a good effort and played well. The Mustangs were playing host to the Picadors from Vistabella and what a splendid morning’s bowls we had, with opposition leads all over the jack from the start, just shows our opponents just need to try. Though the home team will always have the mat advantage. The Mustang played well, as did the Picadors, but in the end a hard fought match brought all the rinks to the Mustangs.

NBA Season Preview ’19 (Pt.1)

By Anwar Jones

What. is. GOOOOD!?!?! It’s October and you already know what that means. The NBA Season is upon us and its about to get crazy. You thought last year was wild??? Check yo self, we got our Annual ‘NBA Season Preview’ below!

Be sure to hit us with your comments & subscribe to our Full Episodes at rosecitysportstalk.com

WESTERN CONFERENCE

Pacific Division

Golden State Warriors

So this off-season the Warriors mimicked Thanos in Infinty War to take it’s reign over the league to another level, while the other teams got their Star Lord on, allowing GS to obtain the last Infinity Stone, also known as Demarcus Cousins. Just like fans wanted to slap Star Lord, we should challenge our favorite teams’ GM to a duel for just sitting idle while the Dubs signed Boogie for the mid-level exception. It’s not hyperbole to say this is the best starting five ever. We may only witness this collection of stars for one season, with the rumblings of a KD departure and the inability to give a max contract to Cousins under league rules, this reign could be over with a snap of the finger. If that fate comes to fruition, the damage will already be done, as the Dubs will more than likely win their 4th title in 5 years and cement themselves as one of the top dynasties the NBA has ever seen.

Player to Watch - Can KD win a MVP on this stacked squad Record - 63-19

Los Angeles Lakers

The Magic Man has been dropping dimes in La La Land for almost 40 years, so it’s only fitting he assisted the Lakers in escaping basketball purgatory. Magic has brought Lebron James aka Maximus to battle in the Staples Center Colosseum. As if Laker Nation wasn’t already entertained by past Gladiators, like the great Black Mamba, the Big Aristotle, or the Goliath known as Wilt the Stilt, Maximus is here to restore past Showtime glory. To earn his freedom he must win the crowd and raise another banner to the rafters. King James will rely on some fiery young fighters looking to make a name for themselves in Ball, Kuzma, Ingram and Hart. He will seek wisdom from another gladiator, Rajon Rondo to help in his journey, but it will be up to Magic to bring in another established soldier to help the true King bring the trophy back to the Roman Laker Nation in the near future. It is why we are here.

Player to Watch - Which Youngblood with be Lebron’s right hand man Record 53-29

Los Angles Clippers

Jerry West is the Professor X of the NBA, the behind the scene orchestrator of multiple dynastic teams. But he will need to tap into his cerebral vortex to make the Clippers a champs. The Logo will find a way to rebuild this team quickly, his reputation speaks for itself. It’s safe to either rookie Shai Gilegous-Alexander or Jerome Robinson, if not both, will be steals in the draft because West always finds gems. They have set themselves for the future with the space for two max contracts and tradable assets like Tobias Harris, Sweet Lou and Patrick Beverly to land a disgruntled star. The Clippers window to jack the city from the Lakers came and went, so they might as well just head north to Seattle, bring back the Sonics and establish a new where they will be loved and embraced forever. Can’t be a side piece forever.

Player to watch - Will Shai Gileous-Alexander be the best point guard of the draft class Record- 34-48

Phoenix Suns

GM Ryan McDonough caught the Jim Buss Holy Ghost during the off-season. His grand scheme of paying 35 million for the combo of Trevor Ariza and Ryan Anderson to help lead them to the playoffs was just delusional. It’s reminiscent of the Infamous summer of 16 and the tragedy that was the Deng and Mosgov. Trading an unprotected 1 st to move up 6 spots into the mid lottery is borderline criminal. The Suns won the lottery and added some solid young buildings blocks in Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges, Eli Okobo and Deanthony Melton, but Robert Sarver had enough. The fact that McDonough once had too many talented point guards to make happy a few years back to not having a starting caliber lead guard was too much to overcome. Sarver should’ve done it weeks ago so he focus on partying at the country club. Luckily Phoenix has a human bucket machine in Devin Booker, that they can convert to the point and hopefully create James Harden 2.0

Player to Watch - Can Ayton justify being the 1 st of the draft from day one Record 24-48

Sacramento Kings

This is the dawn of the post apocalyptic season for the Kings faithful and they can look no further than the self proclaimed Vladefather. He is literally out here making offers teams can’t refuse, like giving up an unprotected 1 st rounder for the opportunity to sign Rajon Rondo, Wes Matthews or Monta Ellis. That’s insanity. Clearly Vlade’s favorite of the Godfather trilogy was the third rendition and he’s using his platform to create his own spoof. Yet again the Kings failed to add the necessary talent to even sniff the playoffs so it’s all about development this season. They have a little bit of hope with sleeper prospect Harry Giles. If he can stay healthy and continues to build off his promising performance during summer league they may have stumbled upon a gold mine. Fox has a nice future and Marvin Bagley should be able to score with ease considering his skill set. It’s not all bad for the Kings from a talent perspective but remember they are by far the worst team in the West and don’t have their pick. The Vlad-Father better avoid the desert.

Player to Watch – Will Marvin Bagley’s collegiate dominance translate to the pro game Record 20-62

Northwest Division

Utah Jazz

The meteoric rise of Donovan Mitchell was one of the highlights of the 2017-18 season. Watching Spida Mitchell during his rookie campaign was eerily similar to Peter Parker testing out his web slinging potential, as he gradually realized he was a problem for the league. His coming out party came during a surprise upset against the Thunder in the 1 st round, where he looked virtually unstoppable. Now that he’s knows he has great powers, he has the responsibility of building on the momentum and lead the Jazz even further in the postseason. When Rudy Gobert is healthy, Utah is the most menacing defensive in the NBA, so as long as he stays on the court they will be successful. The Jazz had a quiet offseason, so they are clearly banking on their young talent taking a leap. We will see if one of the best coaches in the league, Quinn Snyder will help lead them to the next level.

Player to Watch - Is Donovan Mitchell at the superstar level yet Record 52-30

OKC Thunder

Russell Westbrook isn’t human, he’s not a mutant either, but he is Wolverine. He’s virtually indestructible and although will miss the start of the year no one is overly concerned considering he is made out of adamantium steel. Even Wolverine needs time to regenerate. Year 2 of the Westbrook and PG13 duo will be drastically different and more successful than the first. Now that their roles will be more defined, Russ and George should thrive and play off each other more effectively in the half court without the task of sharing shots with Hoodie Melo. Defensively, this team could be a juggernaut once Andre Robertson gets into the fold, but even without him they can still be great. The addition of Dennis Schroeder was a sneaky move that will no doubt ease the burden of Westbrook and allow him to attack off ball and be able to score more freely. OKC is a sleeper WCF contender.

Player to Watch - Dennis Schroeder can be the third scorer this has desperately needed Record 47-35

Portland Trail Blazers

The Blazers are wasting the prime years of Dame Lillard. The second round is this team’s ceiling and it shouldn’t be that way. It’s absolute travesty that Neil Olshey has failed to add the necessary pieces to help out his star studded backcourt. Portland needs a third star, but Olshey refuses to go all in to add one. Cough, Jimmy Butler, cough? The roster has an odd mix of players either ready for prime time or years a way from contributing. Portland needs 3 and D wings, but Olshey fails to address that gaping hole. The roster has taken a set back in a conference that is becoming increasingly more difficult to stay afloat. Maybe Mystique can warn Olshey the sentinels are coming to take Lillard to brighter lights and alter the fate of Portland. Otherwise the writing is on the wall. A miracle needs to happen for Blazers’ fans quickly or their future days are going to be spent reminiscing about the past dominance of Dame Time.

Player to Watch - Can CJ McCollum become an All Star Record 47-35

Denver Nuggets

The Joker is the main reason why we should all take the the Nuggets playoff hopes so serious. Jokic flipped a switch and just blew up last season showing off his unique point-center skill set, reminiscent of another great international center, Arvydas Sabonis. Now it’s up to his backcourt, Jamal Murray and Gary Harris to take this team to the next level. Murray has the ability to be the go to scorer but he has to bring it every night. Denver have a plethora of young players that can get buckets, but they need to buckle down on defense. Coach Malone gained notoriety for his defensive philosophy, so it’s time for him to step up and earn that rep if this squad wants to be a serious contender in the West.

Player to Watch – The Rise of Jamal Murray Record 44-38

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Jimmy Butler saga has wrecked the Wolves’ season before it even started. When Butler exposed Towns and Wiggins for being shook ones, halfway crooks, scared to death, scared to look, it was a wrap. The stakes were already high for KAT coming off his disappearing act in his first playoff appearance but his reputation as an upcoming superstar is on the line. Is he minor or major, a true star or just a stat stuffer are the questions that will be answered by seasons’ end. Thibs is undoubtedly stubborn but he has pull the trigger on a Butler deal before he loses all the leverage for the All NBA performer. Thibs will more than likely going lose his job after the season and so next just ride or die with Jimmy and disregard the future. If that happens it will this will be a lost year for the Wolves. If KAT and Wiggins have any heart they better show it now or the will never shake the soft label.

Player to Watch - Make or break year for Andrew Wiggins Record 37-45

Southwest Division

Houston Rockets

Daryl Morey, why not just bring it back, rewind, pon de replay on a roster that was a CP3 injury away from knocking off the evil empire. This was a confusing off-season for the Rockets, by letting Ariza and Mbah a Moute walk, they lost the defensive switch abilities that made them so special. Adding T.R.O.Y Olympic Melo would’ve been perfect if they maintained there defensive prowess but without it, the squad has taken an unnecessary step back. They will still be in the top 2 or 3 record wise in the West but their championship hopes have dwindled significantly. Morey is a wizard with trades, so it’s a possibility the Rockets still have a chance. I highly doubt Houston will stand pat, the question is will whatever move they make be enough to get one of those rings and things they sing about.

Player to Watch - Can Cp3 avoid his injury playoff curse Record 59-23

New Orleans Pelicans

The theme song for the Pelicans is Biggie’s “One More Chance” but the writing may already be on the wall. Even if the Brow plays at a historic level, New Orleans won’t even make the WCF. Shunning Boogie during free agency was a head scratcher because he was the only chance of pairing the Brow with an elite talent, even with his recent injury history, they had to bring him back. While they were successful without Cousins by playing at the fastest pace in the league and added a perfect compliment to that style of ball in the summer in Julius Randle, it’s just not enough to put them in chip contention. The holes at the wing position and the lack of a second guard will be this squad’s downfall. This season is shaping up to be a long kiss goodnight for the Pellies (turrrbile nickname) with AD signing with Klutch Sports, the rumblings off a Showtime Introduction with the Brow singing “I’m going, going, back, back to Cali, Cali” is on deck.

Player to Watch – Is Playoff Jrue the real Jrue Holiday Record 45-37

San Antonio Spurs

The death of a dynasty is upon us all. Jay-Z once said “It’s a secret society, all we ask is trust,”and within a season we saw that trust erode in San Antonio, thus tarnishing what is known as the Spurs Way in the process. Acquiring the somehow grossly undervalued bucket getter Demar Derozen for a disgruntled Kawhi Leonard was actually a great pickup during the summer. Ask Thibs if he would take that now. The problem that the Spurs have is surprisingly identity. With Kawhi, Parker, Ginobli, and the long gone Duncan, the framework of the championship blueprint is now absent. Pop is looking around the locker room like Will in the last episode of Fresh Prince. The injuries to Dejounte Murray, Lonnie Walker, and Derrick White couldn’t have came at a worst time, leaving them scary thin of playmakers on the roster. The Spurs 21 year playoff run is officially in serious jeopardy. I’ll never count out Popovich, but he needs to find a point guard ASAP to salvage this season.

Player to Watch - Demar Derozen Revenge Tour Record 44-38

Memphis Grizzlies

Running out this Grizzlies team is like churning out another Fast & Furious, we just roll are eyesand say to ourselves “ Really, another one.” The Grit n Grind crew still has familiar faces on the cast, but the culture is gone and it was replace with nothing but random pieces. The biggest flaw with this teamhas been outside shooting which still hasn’t been addressed which is a Tyrese-like head scratcher. Their best bet is to flip Gasol and Conley so they can get value for their aging stars. The West is so stacked, Memphis would have to play out of their minds to sniff the playoffs. Going out on a limb here but the Slow Mo and Garrett Temple acquisitions just don’t seem like enough to do it.

Player to Watch - Jaren Jackson Jr looks like the real deal Record 30-52

Dallas Mavericks

The Mavs are trying to reboot their success with another international phenom after 20 plus years of the same mega star. Dirk was the Dark Knight of European prospects and nothing will top his epic trilogy. Luka Doncic will have to mimic Bain’s childhood rise from the prison to even challenge the reign of his predecessor. There’s a ton of hype surrounding Luka, but Dallas will be satisfied if he is just a Michael Keaton type of Bruce Wayne, but if he is on that Ben Aflek level, the Mavericks are in trouble. Deandre Jordan finally escaped the barricaded door of the Clippers franchise but it’s couple years too late from him to have a major impact. Dallas has good talent on the roster, the Doncic nd Smith Jr will be fun to watch, but a playoff birth is wishful thinking.

Player to Watch - Will Luka Doncic be the transcendent player his pegged to be Record 30-52

That’s a wrap for the Western Conference Preview, be sure to check back for Pt. 2, the Eastern Conference Preview, and do us a solid and share this article!

LA MARINA REPORT BY BARRY LATHAM

To be honest I didn’t know the 4 wood Pairs League was going on but I am glad to say I believe we could be top at the moment after beating Vistabella 4 – 1. Tom Spencer and Peter Parsons had a good draw whereas the two Dave’s, Taylor and Hadaway won 19-14. Keep it going.

On to the VCL and there we languish at the bottom but watch out. We went over to Quesada the Numero Uno and won 8-6. We could have had another two points as Quesada only had the overall score by two shots. Shot of the match has to be Captain Colin on the last end when his team of Lynne Armitage and Martin Butler had dropped a four on end 17 only to pick up a five with Colin’s last wood to win 25-24. Well done to the Parsons both playing the Singles,(not together), it seemed to carry on as in real live and be together as they both won 21-16. Last but not least came Barbara Forshaw, Mike Smith, Wendy Latham and Barry Latham who played an ex La Marina player and great friend, Fred Roberts. In an intense game right until the last end we managed to win by just two shots.

The Pilots got well and truly blown away, away at the Vistabella Greeners green by 10 points to 4. Our only two winners were Dave O’Sullivan, Arthur Cronk and Dave Hadaway 23-12 and Jean Tregoing, Peter Bailey and Mike Smith 14-11. No doubt they will be fighting back next week.

I have to say it is nice think we are a caring club when you saw the Union Jack flying at half-mast on both days the tragedies happened in the UK. Thank you Alex Whyte

LA SIESTA BOWLS REPORT BY ROD EDGERTON

Following the finish of the Spanish National Championships the league matches resumed with La Siesta playing two matches in the VCL League against Greenlands Jasmines and Emerald Isle. Wins for Pat Reilly and Irene Mangan in the singles produced wins backed up by a 28-12 victory for Jack Burrell, Trish Reilly, Pat Harman and Mike Edwards in the Rinks. However, losses in the Pairs, Triples and other rinks match saw an overall loss by 120 shots to 102 to the Jasmines with La Siesta picking up 6 points to their opponents 8. Unfortunately the result against Emerald Isle was not as good with a 127 shots to 71 loss with our opponents picking up a maximum 14 points.

A great result for the Wasps in the South Alicante Spitfire Division with a 107shots to 86 win away at San Luis getting 11 points to their opponents 3. Star place goes to Irene & Dave Laverick with Brian Harman who from the 6th end never looked back from, where they picked up six shots. Dave Davies with Florence & Mike lead from the start to win convincingly whilst Ramsey Sinclair, Irene Mangan and Alex Morrice picked up a 3 and then 6 to stay ahead for the whole of the game. Joy Gardiner with Bill and Sue Jordan managed to win with the last wood of the game. Sheila Chorley, Brian Gardiner & Jean Cooper came back from 7 – 11 down to gain a 17-17 draw. Jo Elkin, George Richardson and John Taylor were behind for most of the game and then came back steadily to be 11 all on the 16th end, only to lose the last 2 ends by 1 shot each.

Disappointment for the Hornets in the Harrier Division falling to a 10-4 home loss to Country Bowls Badgers by 120 shots to 84, picking up 4 points to their opponents 10. Wins for La Siesta came from Hilary Clarke, Trish Reilly and Vic Mahomet by 22 shots to 16 whilst Ron Sheldon, Sue Mahomet and Rab Logan who were winning easily only to get stuck on unlucky 13 shots. However, having managed to get a shot to go 14-13 up they went on to win. The La Siesta Invitational Triples with sponsorship from Quesada Fish & Chips took place last weekend with semi-finals seeing two La Siesta Triples facing each other in one half of the draw whilst in the other half two Monte Mar teams met each other. The semi Final losers for La Siesta were Harold Charleton, Sue Mahomet and John Taylor beaten in a close match by Dave Davies with Mike and Florence Edwards. The final was an exciting match with Bill Young for Montemar pulling out a great win on the last end for him and his partners Jean and Don.(see picture of winners below)

LA SIESTA OPEN BOWLS COMPETITION.

For the second year running Monte Mar Bowls Club were successful in winning the three day La Siesta mixed trip competition. The team consisted of Jean and Rod Chamberlain and skip Bill Young. After winning all their group games they came up against another Monte Mar team in the semi-finals, Ronnie Cairns, June Young and skip Dave Melville. It was a close fought game but Jean, Rod and Bill were the winners they then had to play one of La Siesta’s strongest teams in the final. La Siesta needed two to draw on the last end, thy were holding two but Bill Young with his last wood drew the shot to win the competition. Well done to Monte Mar.
