Things I think — early June

June 8, 2007

The baseball draft on TV was conducted very poorly. Instead of following the lead of the NHL or NFL, baseball had few if any of the players at the draft. Without the photos of the players holding the jerseys with the GM, what do you have? Nothing.
The Dale Earnhardt Jr. Sweepstakes will be heating [...]

Any chance

June 8, 2007

Now, that we have had time to digest Game 1, do the Cavaliers have any chance to win this series?
I don't think so.
There are too many weapons on the Spurs and a lack of weapons on the Cavs. I do think the Cavs can win 1 or 2 games but the defense has to be [...]

Schooled

June 7, 2007

The Cavaliers might follow the blueprint that the Spurs and Gregg Popovich developed, but the Spurs showed in Game 1 that they are the leaders.

Ugly but …

June 7, 2007

LeBron James didn't start his Finals career very well, scoring just 4 points with no field goals, but being down by just five isn't the worst thing that could have happened in the first half.
Actually the defense on Tony Parker is more worrisome. If that doesn't get fixed this will be a very short series.

Balanced predictions

I guess we start to see what is going to happen in about 1.5 hours.

MLB draft/Indians

June 6, 2007

Here is the MLB.com projection for the Tribe's pick in the first-round of the draft tomorrow: 13. Cleveland Indians: Blake Beavan, RHP, Irving HS (Texas)
Staying the same with this projection as the Indians have been on the Texas prep standout for some time. Think Adam Miller, redux.

Kudos to LBJ

June 4, 2007

Here again is the accolades coming LeBron's way:
William C. Rhoden of the New York Times talks about this generation of players.
Marty Burns of SI.com looks to the future.
Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! sees relief in Cleveland fans.
Buck Harvey, a San Antonio columnist, saw this series back at the beginning of the season.
The theme throughout all of [...]

Cavs' chances

June 4, 2007

Dick Vitale who said last season that LeBron would someday be considered the equal of Michael Jordan said this morning that the Cavs will win in 7. He said LeBron would be like a young Magic and not allow his team to lose.
I am having a hard time seeing the Cavs beating the Spurs except [...]
