5/11: Abbreviated bullets....

Little shorter than usual due to time constraints....and we're off...
  • Orlando goes down again.....After having a double-digit lead no less...That's a game they couldn't afford to lose to have any sort of chance to win this series...and Hedo's gotta finish late....
  • Cleveland blows Boston out early and often....this is only somewhat shocking b/c Lebron shot terribly AGAIN with a 5-16, and they still managed to win that easily....Boston showing a Utah-like chink in the armor as they cannot win on the road all the sudden....Where is the team that went into Texas swept all the West playoff teams?? Seems like a distant memory...
  • The Knicks hire Mike D'Antoni....I hate this move not b/c D'Antoni can't coach but b/c they don't have the talent to run his system as it renders their 2 highest-profile players (Randolph and Curry) patently useless as they can't run like he'd want....They could really use a point guard too, so Donnie Walsh has his hands full trying to resurrect this roster to a shape that D'Antoni can use...
  • News that OJ Mayo took gifts at USC is not only the opposite of surprising...but almost expected....Kind of explains how the kid ended up at USC over all the places he could've gone, but the fact that this kid has basically been a pro since he's 10th grade year should take away the surprise here...
  • Hanley Ramirez signs a 6yr/70 mill extension.....this is actually a steal for the Marlins as I think Ramirez is a top-5 player in the game and probably the best young guy in the whole league at a premium position of SS....

All i got for now....Enjoy Mother's Day
