GAME NOTES
Miami is on a little hot streak right now, winning 13 in a row. The last few have been close. Had to have 2OTs to take out those pesky, nomadic Kings and then another hard fourth quarter push to beat the Grizzlies. If the Knicks are going to throw out some sort of trio of Kidd, Shumpert and Anthony to guard LeBron and Wade… Not so sure that’s really going to work out in their favor. Prediction: Miami (-5) wins and covers, 109-98.

Like the smaller format and that on the main page all we get is the box score. Anyway you could add the team logo to the box? Just think it looks nice having the logos on the box.
In other news, Shabazz Muhammad is officially going to the NBA according to Ben Howand.
The whole Islanders thing has been such a mess for years. I’m really shocked when I still hear about them. I mean I always think they fold and are no longer in the NHL.

I seem to be in the minority here but good news for me, he’s number 2 or 3 on my wish list.
Don’t know if it’s been mentioned yet but I saw some people asking about it… It looks like the relocation committee issued their findings at the end of March (3/26) when it came to SEA -> OKC. Wonder if they’ll do the same here.
How many in a row do you have to get before you become Vegas Insider Kevin Nesgoda?

i don’t think his character is sterling, but there are times when carmello drives thru bumper-to-bumper traffic on his way to the hoop that are really impressive.

Here’s an interesting couple paragraphs:
” It didn’t help Montreal when Lalonde swooped down on one of the referees and speared him in the groin because he didn’t like his calls. Lalonde was fined $25, and sent off. The referee had to be carried off.
By the fourth game, Seattle led two games to one, and the Canadiens began to fall apart, retaliating clumsily as they ran out of breath. Sensing victory, Seattle fans were like “a wild, howling mass of humanity,” according to a newspaper account.”
Site is good but everything seems to run together, comments and thread words all the same, can we change that up a bit?

At least Bennett paid up when he moved the team….
In the first shocking moment of the day, James White, yes thee James White is playing SF and guarding Lebron.
About par for the course right now. Not really expecting any separation until the fourth quarter.

And his wife makes a tasty breakfast!
Very tasty.
I know this was posted here already, but if you skipped it, go back & read this. It’s a fascinating story.
