Celtics over Cavs, and more NBA

It's an NBA kind of night....
  • Boston takes care of Cleveland.... This was closer than it seemed until Boston blew it open at about the 6 minute mark of the 4th....Paul Pierce was outstanding (yet again in a big game) but the real key was Leon Powe....yes, that Leon Powe....He of 20 points and 11 boards last night...Lebron was a bit off shooting 5-15 and he can't afford to do that in a game IN Boston....
  • Hawks goes down....Anytime you let a team shoot 81% (81!!!!) in the first quarter and you're suddenly down 18 on the road.....you aren't winning....but the real story is Josh Smith being unceremoniously benched for the entire 2nd half after a reported "argument" with Mike Woodson at halftime....The saga continues....
  • Dwyane Wade leads Miami over Toronto.....42, 6 and 8 for Flash....and he's averaging a ridiculous 38 a game in the last 7.....when does the MVP buzz begin? If he gets that team homecourt in the 1st round, he should win it hands down
  • Utah somehow came back from 17 down in the 1st half to beat Denver....but my favorite storyline? JR Smith putting up 27 points because he is....now....starting! Hurray George!
What to watch for on this Saturday....(and it's alot)
  • UConn @ Pitt CBS 12:00....This speaks for itself....2 top-5 teams on national TV is a must-watch....unless....
  • Michigan @ Minnesota Noon ESPN.....Okay, the other game is the must-watch unless you are Me.....Go Blue...win and you're in!
  • Texas @ Kansas 4:00 CBS
  • Wazzou @ Washington 5:30 FSN....Big-time Pac 10 game that you should be aware of
  • USA vs. Canada in Toronto in the WBC....2:00 ESPN...I won't watch this...but it gives you a baseball option
Get it...
