4/22: NBA Playoffs, Chad Johnson, etc.

Sorry for the late writeup...car was dead...so morning of chaos....
  • The Cavs make quick work of the Wiz....Lebron and company take care of the Wiz to take both at home and make this series look very much in doubt for Washington...Gilbert didn't look right at all...and Brendan Haywood....ummm, prolly don't wanna mess with Lebron like that sir....Amending my pick in the series to Cavs in 5....
  • Utah puts away Houston...in the game...and the series....I all but called this series after Game 1 but now Houston would have to beat Utah in Utah at least twice...good luck to you on that...T-Mac came up small late (again) and cemented his legacy as a playoff underachiever (did have double-digit boards though)...
  • The Bengals turned down a first-rounder this year and at least a 3rd rounder next year for Chad...well, I guess they were serious? b/c they aren't getting a better offer than this...so Chad is either playing there or not playing at all....
  • Breaking news: Jake Long agrees to a deal and will go #1...wow that's early in the week for that to happen (earliest I can ever remember)...Good luck to Jake...Hail to the Victors
  • Scott Skiles to coach Milwaukee....I liked this hire until I heard the cons of it....I may have been swayed...need more time on this....
  • MLB: David Ortiz is mashing again (2-4, 3RBI).....The Braves have won 5 in a row and Tim Hudson returned to dominant form last night, let's keep it going shall we?...Wayyyy too early for the "We're going to the World Series" talk from the Cubs right?....
  • Billy Packer may get fired.....wayyyy too late here....but this is a dumb reason (the "game is over" thing from the Kansas/UNC game)...he's done too many ludicrously biggoted things in his career for THIS to be the undoing....
  • Kosta Koufous (Ohio State 7-footer) declares....and will be a bust....good luck to him....he's a 7-foot small forward without the handle or court feel to pull it off...he can shoot....that's it...
  • NFL Draft: The Falcons need QB, DT, LB, CB, entire O-Line.....if they can trade down (and they reportedly have offers for the #3 pick)....take the deal...especially if it involves a 1st-rounder next year like I've heard....look, you're not building for this next year...you aren't gonna be good no matter how many draft picks you hit on...keep stockpiling and take your QB in the 2nd round (or even trade up if you need to get one of the 2nd-tier QB guys) instead of taking Matt Ryan that I still have heard no one being totally sure on....Just my opinion....and if you don't trade out of the 3rd pick...take Glenn Dorsey b/c wait for it...you have ONE NFL D-Tackle on your roster...and you play a 4-3....you need at least 2.....laughter

More later...
