- Orlando holds serve and keeps their homecourt... Props to Dwight for making his free throws but he's gotta stay out of foul trouble...Pietrus was fantastic yet again and is their emerging player so far in these playoffs....but SVG and company should feel lucky to win (and win semi-easily) with how bad Turkoglu was (1-11 FG)....Let me get this out of the way for Cleveland...that may have been the worst "great" game of Lebron's career...yes, he ended up with 41, 9, and 7...ludicrous numbers for any mortal...but he was inconsistent with his ball handling, appalling bad with his jump shooting, and looked human for most of the night (including an awful 1-5 FT in the 4th)...that being said...how good do you have to be to put up those numbers on an "off" night? Crazy.... It didn't help that Cleveland got ANOTHER bad shooting game from both Mo Williams and Big Z...Can't keep getting those or they'll be going home no matter what Lebron does...
Elsewhere...
- David Ortiz has hit the wall and hit the wall hard....he's hitting under .200...he has 1 home run...I've deliberately stayed away from this "panic" type of thing b/c the national media does it for me...but he's sitting out today...with no injury...uhhh...
- Has any event jumped the shark more than the Indy 500? With the rise of Nascar coinciding with the general decline in interest in Auto racing (including NASCAR's leveling off and even declining lately)...I can't find anybody interested in what used to be the crowning race of the automotive season...
- Milton Bradley is nuts... He's on a platform of thinking umpires are calling more strikes on him in retaliation for his ridiculous umpire-driven behavior... I'm gonna say this...they should take it out on him for being an inept moron....
- The Braves get the sweep? Not words I've been saying alot lately... they stole the first two despite some late-inning bullpen shakiness (including Mike Gonzalez getting yanked late in Game 2), but pulled away with a power barrage late on Sunday and behind Brian McCann (2 HR yesterday) and company...suddenly have it going....still waiting on Mr. Hanson to appear...but the pitching has been darn good other than Reyes and that blip from Medlen and Jair Jurrjens has allowed 2 runs or less in 9 of 10 starts...that's amazing
That'll be it...thanks to the troops and veterans for everything...
