Trading deadline breakdown

February 23, 2006

Here’s some stuff to chew on over the trades the Cavs made today:
–The Cavs got a total steal in getting Flip Murray for Mike Wilks.  Flip is an inconsistent player who isn’t a great shooter, but he can get to the basket and can create his own shot.  He can also play a little point [...]

MVP Madness

February 21, 2006

When I finally trudged home from Houston yesterday, I was mildly surprised to see my e-mail inbox stuffed with people calling me, wait, let me go back and check…an "idiot," a "jackass" and a "moron."
Well, OK, I wasn’t surprised they called me those names, just the reason why.  It seems that many people thought the [...]

All-Star “Weak”end

February 17, 2006

Houston — I’ve made it to the All-Star festivities, yee haw.  This is my third All-Star Game and really the fun is off it.  It is rather cool for about 15 minutes, but in all honestly I don’t see why this event is so popular.  After a few dunks and steals in the game, it [...]

February 5, 2006

This is a term I have invented for the five or six times per season I arrive in a town for a road game and absolutely nothing goes according to plan due to the following: 1) moronic tourists; 2) moronic airline/car rental/hotel employees; 3) the entire setup in the NY/NJ metro area. This usually leads [...]

Wine and Gold Ramblings

February 1, 2006

Some stuff going on with the Cavs that I will pontificate about:

Why won’t LeBron take part in the dunk contest?  Because what if he doesn’t win.  Seriously, it is the same reason why none of the top draft picks go to the pre-draft camp, all he can do is embarrass himself.  The reason he didn’t [...]
