Writer's cramp

Now please welcome guest blogger Paul Coro, my arch nemesis who covers the Suns for The Arizona Republic.

The aforementioned Suns-Mavs action was overshadowed by a beat writer smackdown that captured everyone’s attention on a neighboring basket. Garcia may know your Mavs, but he is the Minnesota Timberwolves of free throw shooting.

Despite the fact that I was wearing a dress shirt and tie, I took down Garcia with three wins, one loss (fluke) and a tie in five free-throw shooting contests. Now, he will go back to covering basketball rather than trying to shoot one.
