By noreply@blogger.com (FLCeltsFan) LOL at the crowd chanting for Scalabrine to shoot. There's one player worse than Gadz. I'm a little upset because it really felt like the Bucks just handed this game to the Celtics with some awful point guard play. I felt ill watching that fourth quarter and the way we handed it to the Celtics.

By noreply@blogger.com (TCW) Hammond on Cable 32 The one encouraging thing I heard from Hammond was his insinuation that the point guard minutes will be distributed by merit rather than salary. That means the rising young quarterback Ramon Sessions ought to get a fair shot to unseat the defenseless Mo Williams.

By noreply@blogger.com (TCW) What makes the basketball analytical writing sphere so great, too, is that it is a conversation, not a competition. This isn't the race to split the atom.

By David Friedman LeBron James had 24 points, nine assists and five rebounds as the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 109-96 at Quicken Loans Arena. Earl Boykins led Milwaukee with 28 points and seven assists. Cleveland's win, coupled with New Jersey beating Chicago 106-97 and Washington edging Indiana 98-95, moved the Cavs up to the second seed in the East and dropped Chicago from second to fifth. Cleveland will play Washington in the first round, a rematch of last year's first round--but the depleted Wizards will be without the services of Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler. Chicago could have earned that seemingly easy matchup simply by winning in New Jersey; now the Bulls will have to face the defending champion Miami Heat in the first rou...   [read the full post]
