- The Celtics take the 3-2 lead behind KG and Ray Allen....it was great to see Ray Allen really find the stroke (although he'd already been playing better) and there is news that Cleveland's entire focus in that series was to take Ray Allen away....so maybe he's got more juice left than we thought (Ryan rejoices).....KG was big-time with 33 despite a smaller-than-usual rebound total mostly caused by Kendrick Perkins grabbing everything in sight.....series not over by any stretch as Detroit is a great road team at times and could easily go into Boston in Game 7 and win....or lose at home in Game 6....I have no idea anymore
- The Bulls are set to hire Doug Collins out of the broadcast booth to head coach....This is a weird one since he already coached there in the MJ days and hasn't coached since....He's very good on TV but I don't know much of him as a coach....seems okay though....
- The Hawks just made a GM hire...and no one even knows....it never appeared on ESPN's frontpage....or yahoo's......but former Sonics GM Rick Sund is the new man...I don't mind the hire (and I certainly liked it more than Chris Grant who they previously offered the job to) but anytime you get your 3rd (or more) choice....not good....but hey, he can't be worse than his predecessor....
- Please leave the Barry/Fisher no-call alone...the Spurs did...so should you....and you..and you....
- Fines for flopping?! According to Stu Jackson, the league will now implement a fine for "clear cases" of flopping....whatever that means....good luck judging that
- Byron Scott gets a new deal...he earned it...well, with some help from that Paul guy...
- Reportedly John Paxson has "settled on" Michael Beasley....even if he had....he wouldn't tell you....
Other stuff....
- MLB: Erik Bedard is alive....a 7 inning gem from him makes Seattle fans (Ryan included) rejoice....Chase Utley has 17 bombs.....Remember when the Rays (or D-Rays what have you) got ripped for dealing Delmon Young for Matt Garza? I do.....The miserable Braves couldn't chalk a run against the washed-up Jeff Suppan last night....falling to 0-11 in 1-run games on the road and 2-14 in them overall...coupling that with the worst road record in the majors.....pulling my hair out over here....
- James Blake lost at the French Open...he's always the best shot for the US over there....and he has no shot either....
- Pittsburgh rebounds to cut the Red Wings series lead to 2-1....I won't pretend to have watched it...but Sidney Crosby had 2 goals.....
- Last thing....The Spelling Bee isn't a sport....please stop covering it like it is ESPN, Yahoo, Sporting News...whoever else.....Cover it like you do poker....show it on TV b/c you get ratings...but don't try to dissect it on your websites/blogs....these kids are 11 and 12 (and reportedly 8 this year)....let them be
