SubscribeJewps and Jice
JEWPS:
Jordan Farmar scored five points to go along with two rebounds and three assists in the Lakers’ 126-86 win over their cross-town rivals, the Clippers on Friday. Yesterday he dropped in 11 in a 98-92 victory over the Orlando Magic.
Meanwhile Omri Casspi‘s Sacramento Kings dropped three straight over the weekend. He scored six points and grabbed six rebounds against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday and repeated those numbers against the Washington Wizards the next night. Casspi scored 13 against the Charlotte Hornets yesterday, but the end result was the same.
JICE:
Mike Cammelleri scored a goal against the Rangers on Sunday, but it was nowhere near enough as the Blueshirts took a 6-2 win.
Jeff Halper had assists in back-to-back games: a 5-2 loss to the Florida Panthers on Saturday, and a 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricane on Sunday.
Speaking of ice, The New York Times ran this article today about the Israeli athletes competing in the Winter Olympics, including downhill skier Mikail Renzhin, a downhill skier who has already made the 2010 Israeli team, has been training in the United States for the last couple of years. And unless something unexpected happens at the European Figure Skating Championships, which start Tuesday in Tallinn, Estonia, Roman and Alexandra Zaretsky, a brother-sister ice-dancing pair, should also make the squad. They live in Garfield, N.J., and train at the Ice House, in Hackensack.
According to the article, “A third Israeli, Tamar Katz, a figure skater who lives and trains in nearby Rockland County, N.Y., is on the bubble. She has qualified for the Olympics, but the Israeli Olympic Committee is reluctant to send her to Vancouver unless she finishes in the top 10 at Tallinn.”
Saw some of the Bobcats-Kings game. Casspi played pretty well, but far from his best game. I was happy with the result, however, as I always root for Larry Brown coached teams.
