Re: Pandora’s Box

When I wrote that Sarah might think Pandora’s Box is a basketball defense, it was because I thought she might have confused it with the box-and-one, which was no doubt employed against her during her days as a Wasilla High point guard.

How to Run a Zone Box-and-One basketball defensethumbnail

“The box-and-one defense is a great way to stop an offensive player.”

“The box-and-one zone is an extremely effective way to shut down a team that has one main scoring threat. As a defense, it is not as commonly used as other zones, but that does not mean it is not as efficient. It can really shut down a one-dimensional team and give your own squad a real boost. Here is how to run the box-and-one zone defense in basketball…”

    Sarah is a flagrant foul on America!!

  • Jim In Texas:

    Sarah was never an offensive threat. Well, not in basketball anyway !

  • Chris:

    lol…..keep her on her toes Joe!

  • tm:

    …”no doubt employed against her”??????

    You gotta be fukn kidding me. Is this the type of accuracy we can expect from Joe?

    It’s beyond 1000 to 1 odds that a box-and-one was never used on Palin. It’s completely idiotic.

    Disappointing.

  • ST:

    Looks like ‘tm’ has a reading comprehension problem.

  • Ottoline Lyme:

    But, but . . . : there is not ONE main scoring threat arrayed against Team Palin. There are almost too many to count:

    –The right column at Palingates lists (and explains) 27 of them
    –isn’t there an “SP enemies” list that grows in number almost daily?
    –Aren’t the emails going to be made public on May 31?
    –Isn’t the McGinniss book coming out soon? and the Dunn book? and the Bailey et al. book?
    –How about the NE, which is always churning away in the background?
    –Hitchens and Andrew Sullivan are likely to say more.
    –And then of course there is the arsenal that Romney (or whosoever chooses to be the GOP frontrunner) has just waiting to splat across the playing field, as needed.
    –To say nothing of that one or two or three or more people in Alaska who have a little something to tell us, perhaps to show us, but haven’t been quite ready to do so, so far.

    Pandora’s Box indeed!

  • honeybabe:

    a lot of us in alaska can’t wait! shine lots of light on the dark corners and show everyone just what their agenda is…..more money for the rich and corporations and more taxes for everyone else. that is sort of distilled repub.

  • jk:

    I believe Joe is either being overly kind or downright sarcastic.

    I do have to say a box and 1 is a beautiful sight to behold (and to be a part of) when it’s done correctly. We also used to do a triangle and 2 and really confuse our opponents. I only wish we were as good on offense as we were on defense.

    Wow! I haven’t thought about that in years. Unlike Sarah Palin, I don’t feel the need to constantly relieve and broadcast my high school basketball career.

  • KatieAnnieOakley:

    You. Have. No. Idea.

    None whatsoever.

    Pride goeth before the fall…

  • WakeUpAmerica:

    Palin is just plain offensive, playing or not.

  • SME:

    Oh poor baby did someone say something against your cult leader Scarah. You sound as thin skinned as she does. Better take your meds and move on now.

  • climber357:

    There is no doubt sarah was as offensive a player as she is now. Gravity, however, long ago replaced the box-and-one to counter her threat to score.

  • lilly lily:

    She may have been an offensive player, remember the crying, the scratching, the sucking up to the coach, and the backbiting about other players.

    Hardly a team favorite or star. A. she was short. B. she behaved like a spoiled brat.

    Todd says she was not a very good player at Basketball. That is her own myth making.

  • BanditBasheert:

    PoliticalGates is also “the” place to follow these days. Same goal….. kick her can to the curb.
