A little NBA, etc.

Had a small window so I figured I'd throw up some thoughts...
  • Portland evens the series....Brandon Roy had a ridiculous, take-over, monster 42 points (against the best defensive combo in the league of Artest and Battier no less) in a game they had to win...but I'm not sure he was even the story....yes, he was awesome, but he usually is....LaMarcus Aldridge put up 27 and 12 though....that's the type of performance Portland needs to move on...Roy will be there regardless....Weirdest line of the day? Von Wafer had 21 points last night...and didn't record a rebound or an assist....that's hard to do
  • The Cavs and Lakers roll....you knew that was going to happen...
  • Dwight Howard named defensive POY....that was imminent...but a minor surprise at #2 and #3...how bout Lebron James and Dwyane Wade respectively? Hmmm....Seems like they need to explain this award a little more...lol....not gonna slam them on defense b/c they are both above-average...but not in this category if you look at a wide shot of the league...
  • I can't handle the Braves losing games to Washington....at least not in the fashion they are losing them....Men on 2nd and 3rd and 0 outs down 1 in the ninth...and they can't plate anyone...it's April and I'm going bald....
  • Welcome Ryan Braun to the party...he started slow...but 5-5 with 2 bombs will end that....and Jarrod Washburn is suddenly a dominant starter? 7 IP, 2 ER in another win to go 3-0.....And elsewhere in baseball...Cleveland turns 6 double plays....1 in each inning for 6 straight...tying the major league mark....that's just weird stuff
That'll do it for now..
