Cavs vs. Lakers
Posted February 11th, 2007 by Brian Windhorst
3:34 p.m. — Welcome to the live blog. All the hugging and kissing and hand slapping is going on. When ABC deems fit, we’ll start.
3:41 p.m. — Lakers 14, Cavs 7. Last two games Vladimir Radmanovic had two points total. Plus his coach called him out and said he basically sucks right now. But already seven points and four boards. After the 3-pointer bounced in one of the Lakers beat writers suggested they stop the game and give him the ball. I say wait until he gets to the double-double at the quarter break
Also…Z gets a lob from Larry Hughes and gets free in the lane. Why not dunk it? Joey Crawford is reffing. Keep in mind that he dislikes Mike Brown. Speaking of the coach, think he’s happy with the defensive effort so far? Lakers are on the 14th day of road trip and it’s 20 degrees. But they look like they intend to play.
3:50 p.m. — Lakers 18, Cavs 13. Drew Gooden is skipping, which means he’s got energy. He has five rebounds already. Also LeBron is trying to attack the basket, but the Lakers are basically employing a zone against him by packing the lane. He can complain about not getting calls all he wants, but you don’t get calls going 1-on-3.
Also…I don’t believe Donyell Marshall can defend Andrew Bynum, sorry…On the scoreboard Damon Jones just said his home town of Galveston is known for dirty water.
4:01 p.m. — End of the first quarter Cavs 24, Lakers 23. The Cavs are aggressively attacking the rim and it is a good sign. The Lakers have been switching on pick-and-rolls and blitzing against James, which is something I think the Cavs can take advantage of. Especially if they use LeBron and Andy Varejao in high screen rolls. Sasha has gone to the basket a couple of times already, that puts enormous pressure on the defense because the opponents want to set up their defense to get ready for James drives from the other side of the floor.
Also…Notice the Lakers went right to Kobe Bryant when Eric Snow was subbed in for Larry Hughes. I believe the Lakers consider that a weakness.
4:11 p.m. — Cavs 33, Lakers 27. Sasha is playing well again today and right now he’s really battling with Maurice Evans. Evans is a pesky defender that tends to get under other players’ skin. The reason Phil Jackson has him on Sasha is to try and slow him down. But his penetration has been very good thus far as he had a very nice assist to Z a few minutes ago. But he has two fouls now, so he may sit.
Also…Donyell Marshall’s 4-point play was the Cavs first of the season…The Cavs have eight fastbreak points already.
4:20 p.m. — Cavs 39, Lakers 32. Eric Snow is doing a pretty solid job on Kobe Bryant, not that the game is even close to being over of course. Cavs have continue to attack the basket and they are finding lanes and it is the reason they are winning. They have 20 points in the paint already and are shooting 50 percent. That is good basketball. Right now Jackson had Kobe on LeBron and it is a good matchup. LeBron burned him on that backdoor play a few moment ago for the dunk. But watch out, VladRad is back in the game.
4:27 p.m. — Cavs 46, Lakers 40. It is as times like these when I wonder what Larry Hughes is thinking. He makes a terrible pass the leads to a dunk at the other end and then take two bad, contested 3-point shots. I know that he made the second one, but why? Hughes has been driving as have the Cavs in this game, why chuck 3’s when the Lakers are on a run. And speaking of bad jumpers, why is Z taking 20-footers from the corner. That’s outside his range. He’s been able to score on Bynum on the block and receiving entry passes off drives, so stick with it. But he does have nine shots already, so that is good. Marshall had nine points in seven minutes but hasn’t been back on the floor. My guess is because Brown is concerned about him on defense against Lamar Odom or Bynum.
4:40 p.m. — Halftime. Cavs 52, Lakers 41. Well, the Cavs were on a nice little 9-0 run before screwing up the last 10 seconds of the half. By the way, Kobe’s defense on LeBron was great there. All in all, though, it was an excellent half because the Cavs played smart offense and solid defense. They shot 51 percent and got 26 points in the paint. They held the Lakers to just 42 percent shooting and got them to put up 11 3-pointers, of which they just made two.
The willingness to not take contested jumpers and instead drive — you can really see it in LeBron, Gibson and Sasha — is leading to a Renaissance of the Cavs’ offense, not any sort of running at this point. When more guys than LeBron drive, as I mentioned before, it really requires the opposition to be very sound. And since Gibson, Sasha, and LeBron are good at finishing and Ilgauskas, Varejao and Gooden are good offensive rebounds, it is very effective. The Cavs also have 12 second-chance points to the Lakers’ 3.
Snow played the last 15 minutes of the half and held Kobe to 3-of-8 shooting in that stretch. It may not last, but he won’t let Kobe by him and will make him make those fallaway jumpers. Which he’s great at, but they aren’t easy. If it wasn’t for Radmanovic, the Lakers would be down by about 20 by now. Odom hasn’t been a factor and Smush Parker and Bryan Cook haven’t been able to hit an open jumper. My guess is in the second half Kobe will get it going and the Lakers will make some of those open jumpers so the Cavs will really have to be tight on defense. But right now they are winning because they are shooting layups and the Lakers are taking jumpers.
LeBron’s 3/4 court shot was about .2 seconds too late. That’s the third game in a row the Cavs have made a 3-pointer at the end of quarter get called off and it’s been close enough to look at the video.
5:04 p.m. — Cavs 56, Lakers 50. From the first few seconds on of the third quarter, you could see Kobe had borught out a new gear in the second half. He was all over Hughes defensively and then went right to the rack on the first possession. This is the Lakers’ attempt at making this a game because if they can’t draw close in the fourth it is time to think about home. But so far they have succedded. They have been the aggressive everywhere and it has earned them foul calls. The Cavs have five and the Lakers none. The Cavs need to pick up the pace and quell the uprising now or it is going to be a barnburner.
Kobe already has six points in the quarter, we’ll see if Mike Brown is tempted to put Eric Snow back in. Also, to increase the energy I expect Sasha to be out on the floor after the timeout.
5:14 p.m. — Cavs 61, Lakers 54. The Cavs are hanging on because they’ve been able to get some defensive stops. The Lakers have made some adjustments and are packing the paint to deter drives. The Cavs need to take some measures to open some lanes like back doors or running high screen rolls with the floor spread. The Lakers are in four trouble as Bynum has four. They have no quality backup bigs, the Cavs should be driving and pounding the ball to Gooden or Z inside to put pressure on the Lakers and the officials, who have noticed the foul differential.
Mike Brown has three technical fouls on this homestand, I think. Dude is getting testy. It is funny to watch him try to get them, the officials know he’s not a hothead so he’s basically got to run out on the block to get a whistle.
5:26 p.m. — End of the third quarter. Lakers 67, Cavs 64. The Lakers closed the 3rd in a 13-3 run to take the lead. The Cavs offense has let the Lakers right back into the game. They did not keep up their attacking from the first half. As far as I can tell, all LeBron (who didn’t score in the qtr.) did for the last half hour was dribble and take bad jumpers. How about this stat…The cavs were 4-of-24 shooting in the quarter. Like that?
When he did go to the basket he tried to lay it up. Got to dunk that thing. The Cavs scored just six points in the paint in the third and two of those baskets came on putbacks. That is just not going to get it done. Their defense has been pretty good, the Lakers are shooting just 39 percent and were just 6-of-18 in the third, but that old offense is letting them down again.
What they’ve done is give Kobe clearance to beat them by himself in the fourth, which he always does to teams. Which he will try to do. We’ll see if LeBron rises to the challenge here. Recent history makes me wonder what will happen.
By the way, no complaining about the refs, the aggressive team is getting the calls.
5:35 p.m. — Cavs 72, Lakers 69, 8:58 to play. Sasha is guard Kobe and doing a solid job. He’s also driving the ball, which has already made a big difference just as much as his 3-pointer to start the quarter. Snow is playing great defense, he’s proved valuable today. The Cavs are going to Z to pressure Bynum and it is working right now. The Lakers are now the ones settling for jumpers, if this trend continues the Cavs will win. Especially if they continue to make Kobe work. We’ll see, the biggest challenge will be to continue to execute on offense. They have to work to get high percentage shots and fouls. If they don’t they can’t sustain because Kobe will make his share no matter what.
5:43 p.m. — Lakers 77, Cavs 74, 5:42 to play. This is what Kobe does, he makes great plays and tough shots in the fourth quarter. But the Cavs are helping and recovering on defense very well. It is their offense that is killing them, they have just 25 points in the second half. Again their Achilles is biting them badly. Kobe is getting the headlines and he should, he’s great and had scored the last 10 points. But he’s not beating them, they’ve given up 77 points and 40 percent shooting. Meanwhile LeBron is taking bad jumpers. Some of it is the Lakers D, much of it is the Cavs bad offense.
5:55 p.m. — Cavs 83, Lakers 81, 2:59 to play. Sasha Pavlovic is the Cavs MVP today. I can’t even put into words what his contributions have meant to the team effort. If Kobe is going to make twisting jumpers over hands then he’s going to, you can’t foul him on jumpers. This has not been a good day for LeBron, he’s been outclassed again on national TV. It will get worse if he misses these two free throws. Cavs are battling, but they are in Kobe’s wheelhouse.
6 p.m. — Cavs 90, Lakers 85. Anderson Varejao must’ve gone to chruch this morning, making that jumper. At least LeBron has been able to make key passes to keep the Cavs ahead.
6:06 p.m. — Final, Cavs 99, Lakers 90. This was an ugly victory, but it a still a good one. Varejao and Pavlovic were massive in the game. For the Cavs to win a game like this without getting a huge effort from anyone in the starting lineup is remarkable. It is somewhat sad, but remarkable nonetheless. LeBron was guilty of a lot of things in this one, especially plenty of bad offensive possessions in the second half. But he did make some plays in the end and made 3-of-4 free throws when they were badly needed. He also had 18 points and eight rebounds and five assists. But make no mistake, he’s still off his game and that is somewhat disturbing.
Sasha had 21 points and played his heart out on defense. He’s turning me into a believer. Andy had 12 points and six rebounds and was huge in the fourth quarter.
Overall, the Cavs defense probably gets the most credit for the victory. It held the Lakers to less than 40 percent shooting and made it generally tough for Kobe. He got his 36 points, but not a win. Although, Mike Brown again was a little late in calling for a double team. Not unlike that loss in Miami with DWade going crazy. This is how the Cavs are going to win, they are going to do it with defense. They played great defense on this homestand and went 4-1, which is what they really needed.
Thanks for joining the blog. Much more to come, of course.
February 11th, 2007 at 1:33 pm
Snow looks SO MUCH BETTER coming off the bench. I like how Mike Brown’s even got Snow pushing the tempo on offense when he comes in.
Did you SEE THAT FAKE from Sasha and then finding Z!?! Once again Sasha looks great
February 11th, 2007 at 1:36 pm
I know that this doesn’t have much of a place on a Cavs blog, but draftexpress ran a couple of interviews with Maurice Evans recently about his transition from playing in Europe to coming back to the States. They’re an interesting read.
February 11th, 2007 at 1:41 pm
Who taught Boobie how to FINISH!? I remember first half of the season he could get into the paint but he’d get blocked all the time. Now he’s got the finish on Shaq the other night and now the one tonight. I love it!
February 11th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
Can the childish retarded name of “Boobie” be given a permanent locked room in the nursing home of really bad nicknames? Pretty please???
February 11th, 2007 at 1:52 pm
Brian - when LeBron gets the ball on the left wing in isolation - why does Z or Varajeo or somebody come over to that side to post up? Why doesn’t LeBron just explode left…at the very least - he’d have to get fouled…
February 11th, 2007 at 1:54 pm
Alan? Do you a stiff drink? A back massage? Does the word “Boobie” make you upset? Should someone call John Amaechi for you?
February 11th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
how is it the 5th team foul already and the cavs apparantly haven’t been fouled once by the lakers….what the hell?
February 11th, 2007 at 2:04 pm
Cavs look stagnant on offense again. They need to take it to the rack again
February 11th, 2007 at 2:06 pm
The free throws are getting ridiculous…
February 11th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
I’d love to see the replay on gooden’s missed dunk…where was the foul on that…
February 11th, 2007 at 2:13 pm
Sasha just earned himself a free pump fake, drive, and dunk from the defense after hitting that open 3.
February 11th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
In answer to the question, yes, the word “Boobie” gets me upset. I’d rather see Chris Berman full monty than have to hear it.
February 11th, 2007 at 2:46 pm
Here’s an idea. Have your FT% at 80 or better by Feb 28th or you have to spend the rest of the season free-throwing Rick Barry style.
February 11th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
Bryant’s unstoppable right now. Hopefully Sasha can answer
February 11th, 2007 at 2:54 pm
That Nike ad is great.
February 11th, 2007 at 3:00 pm
SASHA!!!
February 11th, 2007 at 3:17 pm
I’d not a big technology guy, but this real-time blog stuff is pretty cool. I’ll like it even more if the blog host finds himself a way to keep real-time cliches like “rise to the occasion” inside his condo instead of inside his blog.
February 11th, 2007 at 3:20 pm
Whoops, I wrote “I’d.” I meant “I’m.” Oh, who cares.
February 11th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
Oh, Alan, so critical … why not lighten up and enjoy the win!!
February 11th, 2007 at 4:29 pm
Perhaps Lebron’s raison d’etre is not as a lead dog assassin who drives a stake into your heart and takes over games. Maybe his true calling is as an all-around wing man, a la scottie pippen. Sasha! Give my man the ball. Lebron doesn’t have any go-to moves. He looks confused. His body is so massive and awkward, it’s hard for him to slice through double teams off the dribble like a wade or jordan. Also, I think I saw a little bit of urine running down his leg, mixed with the sweat, when he missed those two FT’s.
February 11th, 2007 at 4:36 pm
I didn’t criticize his condo, not even once. I am not hesitant to admit that black velvet paintings of dogs playing cards are quite stylish.
February 11th, 2007 at 4:40 pm
Isn’t it interesting that “boobie” is sort a childish, harmless phrase nowadays? Do you think “tit” will be the next body part colloquialism to undergo such reclassification? Will the Cavs a power forward in 2023 named “Titties” Jones?
February 11th, 2007 at 4:42 pm
Doc, I didn’t see any sweat mixed in with the urine, and I have a 57″ high-definition TV. I believe it was all urine.
February 11th, 2007 at 4:44 pm
I think we’ll see a backup center named “Balls” Franklin long before we see a power forward named “Titties” Jones.
February 11th, 2007 at 5:36 pm
BW-
Did reverend pluto make you remove my john amaechi/bison dele post? It’s mysteriously deleted. If we’re going the moral route, at least print a running diary of a typical reverend TP sunday so we can all learn how to live blessedly. Such as:
6am: wakes and washes nude in the cleansing and purifying cuyahoga river
7am: prays
8am: resists the devilish temptation while watching soledad obrien
9am: prays
10 am: oils bald dome
11am: trips on a pile of unsold copies of latest browns book
Noon: kneels before charlie frye shrine
1pm: goes to rubber bowl and lumbers across the concrete turf giggling like a schoolgirl
2pm: silently condemns an old man to hell who fails to use a turn signal
3pm: sends anonymous perfume scented valentine to charlie frye
4pm: makes a list of ten people who surely will be in hell
5pm: prays
6pm: resists another devilish temptation as diane sawyer crosses her legs yet again
7pm: writes a column about jd brookhart, realizes it contains entire passages that are replicates of a previous column in 2004, but sends it off as “fresh” anyway
8pm: tell his wife to bend over for 20 lashes because she forgot to refill the ice tray
9pm: applies a sticky substance to his body
10pm: prays
11pm: prays
midnight: deletes unworthy commnets from the windhorst b-ball blog. falls asleep like a blessed little angel.
February 11th, 2007 at 6:55 pm
Then says 20 novenas for Bison Dele.
February 11th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
How to spot an effective Cavs offense.
Count the number of dribbles before James
starts the play.
0= sure bucket
1-5 damn good chance
6-10 pretty good
11-15 hoist a three
15 and over turnover with a slam at
the other end
February 12th, 2007 at 2:52 am
The stand around and watch the superstar offense that the cavs and so many other teams run is awful. Why aren’t other players allowed to cut so the star can hit them with a pass?
February 12th, 2007 at 4:35 am
Am I the only one that thinks Alan Tucker is doing some sort of drugs. Please go away Alan.
February 12th, 2007 at 4:57 am
What, you don’t think we’ll ever see a Cavs backup center named “Balls” Franklin, Joe Hoops? Or, at the very least, “Titties” Jones? I must respectfully disagree with you. The Cavs already had small forwards named “Nuts” Phillips and “Nads” Thompson, so I must agree with Doc, it’s only a matter of time before the local media’s dumb Cavs nicknames take a natural step towards the chestal region.
February 12th, 2007 at 6:03 am
Doc, you are absolutely right! Lebron is a fraud!!!! No post moves,he can’t make a shot from 8 to 18 feet,no defensive skills, he’s as agressive as a bunny rabbit and he’s lazy. He’s really nothing more than an over hyped bench player, a mediocre complimenatary piece. The Cavs should trade this phony while most of Nba is still being fooled by his “greatness”
February 12th, 2007 at 6:32 am
Eric, just a suspicion, but I think you’ve been sneaking hits from “Nads” Thompson’s crackpipe.
February 12th, 2007 at 12:21 pm
Seeing as most of us are men can we at
least talk about chicks or basketball.
Good win albeit against a very tired
and cold weary Lakers squad. Am I on
drugs or am I reminded of Jerry West
when Sasha shoots his jumper. His stroke
and motion are very similar. He opens up
a whole new dimension for this offense.
February 12th, 2007 at 12:31 pm
They’re actually redesigning the NBA Logo based on sasha in profile.
February 12th, 2007 at 3:13 pm
I stand by my theory that Alan Tucker is on some sort of illegal narcotic. This guy seems to be wacked out of his goard and posts a lot of mumbo jumbo nonsense. Please turn your web cam off before Dateline NBC invades your house, and step away from the keyboard my good friend.
February 12th, 2007 at 5:19 pm
A Tucker is trying to get a rise out
of BW. Why else would he discuss boobies
on Bison Dele and nads on Terry Pluto.
February 12th, 2007 at 9:11 pm
Bison Dele has boobies and Terry Pluto has nads? Musta missed my own post, because I have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about.
With that being said, if James fails to produce in the playoffs, will Ferry hire Schottenheimer to be the next Cavs coach?
February 13th, 2007 at 12:48 am
Brian– good articles lately, but why don’t you ask Larry to expound on what he’d like to see the offense do?
Running more in transition is probably just part of it. I think taking shots earlier in the offense is something both he and LeBron have wanted to do. Running a play before the defense settles in, going for more alley oops, taking the open shot when you’ve got it, those are all facets of an uptempo offense; and a style Larry is more used to.
Defensively we rarely run unless we get steals or blocks. Did they ask to gamble more? Do they want to? If so, it doesn’t look like their wish was granted as Larry and LeBron’s steals are down so far this month. Interestingly enough, so are their turnovers.
February 13th, 2007 at 5:55 am

Alan Tucker. Get lost please. YOu are ruining this blog with your nonsense.
Thank you.

Sasha + Bron= West + Baylor
Can we sign Chamberlain?
Or at least get Bron to think he

February 13th, 2007 at 8:57 am
Sasha + Bron = West + Baylor
Anybody think we can sign Chamberlain?
Anybody think we can get Bron to think

RE: Public Service Announcement
Personally, I usually prefer reading Alan Tucker’s posts over reading JoeHoops posts.

ALERT I REPEAT ALERT
Z is not travelling to Utah for AHEM….
trade I mean personal reasons. Wonder
if his personal business is in New Jersey
and also wonder if there is a new Kidd in
town.
February 13th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Yeah, Alan is my favorite part about this comments section
February 13th, 2007 at 8:32 pm
Oh, please…If Z is traded, I’ll eat my hat. If I wore a hat. So I guess I’ll just have to eat a sandwich.
Anybody read Terry Pluto’s column on Sunday? Despite Terry’s ingenius use of very select salary stats to deceive his readership, Ilgauskas’ ridiculous monster contract for a guy on the downslope of his career guarantees he is virtually untradeable. There is still THREE AND A HALF more years left on his heavily BACKLOADED contract (a crucial fact Terry conveniently neglected to mention). Furthermore, Ilgauskas’ wickedly clever agent negotiated an additional 15% salary INCREASE over and above his already silly salary if the 10-foot Lithuanian is traded.
In other words, like him or hate him, absent somebody out there every bit as boneheaded as Ferry, the tall dude and his kettlebells are here to stay. If nothing else, and there really is little else when it comes to Ilgauskas, people can take comfort in the fact they’ll be able to enjoy watching his bald spot grow and grow and grow. It will make the next 3 1/2 years just glide by.
February 13th, 2007 at 10:54 pm
Someone as boneheaded as Ferry? How about a certain Isiah Thomas. The Knicks have a glut of young good big men.
On another note maybe that explains why Z is so weak, he’s been training with kettlebells. Maybe his wife thought the kettle balls were too heavy.
February 14th, 2007 at 3:18 am
So Alan Tucker is so sure the Cavs won’t trade Ilgauskas, he’ll eat….a sandwich? Wow, you really put it all on the line on that one.
Alan, it’s interesting that you would challenge Pluto for using information selectively. Isn’t that’s what YOU do?
Regarding Pluto’s comment, he was absolutely accurate. His comment was regarding the amount that Ilgauskas is making (relative to the league this year). Your point may have validity when we judge salaries next year or for the two years following that, but Pluto’s comment is about this year.
In all your posts concerning Ilgauskas (and there have been a LOT), I haven’t heard you say anything like, “Well, there are many, many players making more money that he is. I don’t like his contract, but there are a lot from the same time period that are worse.”
You say, Ilgauskas’ contract is heavily back-loaded. Heavily. Your words. SI.com lists his salary for the next three years (the duration of his contract, I believe) at $10.1, $10.8 and $11.5 mil, respectively. He made less than $9 mil last year (according to basketball-reference.com).
Heavily back-loaded? Yes, you are the picture of objectivity.
February 14th, 2007 at 7:51 am
Have you guys been actually watching the
games lately? Z is doing a much better job
on the defensive end of the ball(notice
the blocked shots). He is also a very
good offensive rebounder although he still
gets stripped after the rebound way too much and needs to dunk more. Who does the
Nets have in the pivot? Mikey Moore and
Jason Collins who recently graduated from
Lucasville? I mean Mikey is a pogo stick
but his basketball IQ is not very high.
Have you also seen the passing between
LBJ and Z. Slightly telepathic. I dont
think the Nets would consider Z lightly.
Who is a better offensive true center in
the East? Shaq when he is healthy of course,
and Dwight Howard definetly the kids a monster. But all in all Z is pretty good.
What is Shaq making 20 mill? 10 mill for
Z is a bargain Tucker. Who would you trade
Z for at the center position who would command less salary for the next 3 1/2 yrs?
February 14th, 2007 at 8:17 am
A bargain? Alonzo Mourning’s free agent contract, for one, was ballpark 50-60% of the money of Ilgauskas’ free agent contract. I’m not going to get out my NASA computer to figure out the exact numbers to appease Kevin the Statman, but I’m in the general neighborhood.
Count the years - FIVE??? A 15% kicker on already excessive money if this guy is traded? Jeez, talk about holding a roster hostage. And last, but not least, a guy that puts the total kibosh on a running game while the Cavs’ remaining time with James is very likely ticking away?
A bargain? For whom? Please.
If Ferry can hypnotize somebody to take that sloth, his kettlebells and his preposterous contract off the Cavs’ hands, I’ll eat Sean Kemp’s old contract, and then lick peanut butter off Ferry’s head. Jif Creamy. And to prove how strongly I feel about this, in a brief cannibalistic moment, I’ll even eat Sean Kemp. Pass the Heinz 57.
February 14th, 2007 at 11:24 am
You could even pull a Dahmer and have
roast Dele.
February 14th, 2007 at 11:43 am
O.K., I’ll eat Dele, too, but first make a call to the FDA to perform some standard tests before I eat him. At this point, I’m fairly certain he’d be a botulism risk. I may be crazy, but I’m not stupid. That’s why I always buy my former NBA players at Whole Foods Market. 100% organic and tested by hippies.
February 14th, 2007 at 11:55 am
New game for the kids today:
WHERE IN THE WORLD IS ZYDRUNAS ILGUASKAS?

IS HE IN LITHUANIA? NOOOO SAYS SARUNAS J
IS HE IN NEW JERSEY? NOOOO SAYS TUCKER
IS HE IN LAS VEGAS? NOOOO SAY THE COACHES
IS HE IN CALIFORNIA? NOOO SAYS PHIL JACKSON
WHERE IN THE WORLD IS ZYDRUNAS ILGAUSKAS?
February 14th, 2007 at 12:19 pm
Well, if it’s not too “personal” a reason, like his Newfoundland dog Beckham was accused of the rape of a stray poodle, or something like that, then I will start a rumor and state that Amaechi’s book is outing Z. Why else would the White Shadow suddenly take an extended vacation during the middle of the season at exactly the same time this book is coming out? Coincidence? Or something more?
February 14th, 2007 at 3:04 pm
Rumor in New York. Or should I say
humor in New York.
Gooden for Channing Frye. I wouldn’t
trade Gooden for Eddie Curry(with insurance)
or Jamal Crawford.
