Stupid computer:Head Aches, Hard Times, and Hoops PART2

I just submitted a long post and it didn't work. Technology hates me and like not working for no reason which make my choice of career bath all the more ironic. So here is a short version of parts of the post.
Bowling sucks. I subbed tonight for my dad and the conditions sucked so I couldn't do much of anything. If I throw the ball outside of a certain point it just slides and doesn't come back, while if I throw it inside that point it grips the lane and flies past the pocket. Now I remember why I was some what grateful I stopped bowling in that league. It goes way too slow and the condition on the left side of the lanes sucks.
My family has been waiting for my grandmother to pass away but her heart doesn't seem ready to give up. She was expected to pass Monday or Tuesday from what the docs have said, and the funeral I guess was suppose to be this coming weekend. I haven't been to the east coast in years, and there is going to be family there I haven't seen in a long time if ever. Because of this I am even more encourage to get a hair cut than usual. I guess it is time to become less of an embarrassment to my parents based on my looks. I have been meaning to go get it done each day this past week but things keep coming up. Tomorrow I don't have anything major scheduled so I plan on forcing myself to get it over with.
On a different note: The question of the week.
Do the Sac Kings have a right to be complaining? The were completely snubbed and will have no reps for the All-Star game, and have been having even more issues with ref call than usual.
If calls could be challenged in the NBA would that slow the game down way too much? Any solutions to this issue?

Well I don't agree on the call in the game, but they only true way to know is to have a camera angle pointed directly up at the hoop to see if it was over the cylinder (the angle view wasn't conclusive). I think maybe they should do what the NFL does, have a max of 2 challenges and if they are wrong get charged with a timeout. I think also that in this case they should have reviewed since it was at the end of the game and I thought they could do it at ends of quarters and game (not that they would have overturned it)...oh well.
