As if all of you readers haven't been drowned to death with enough LeBron news, here's more.
I don't mind the LeBron news.
Better than being drowned to death by Sam and David ridiculing the Big East.
NEWSFLASH: Thunder Win!
The Thunder won another game last night. Make that 7 wins for the Okla City Thunder!
This time against the lowly Utah Jazz by a score of 114-93. I know the Jazz have been horribly disappointing this year, but by losing to the Thunder, the Jazz may have hit an new all-time low....

...and the team that has home court advantage is usually the best team. That's how they got home court advantage.

Friday against C-Paul and the Hornets will be the 2nd night of a back-to-back. This should be our toughest tests at home all year as the Cavs try and go 20-0 at home.
The Jazz played last night without Paul Millsap, CJ Miles, and Carlos Boozer. Boozer has played only the first 12 games, and hasn't played since like the middle of November. They also went 12 games without both Boozer and Deron Williams, their two best players.
The loss to the Thunder notwithstanding, it's actually remarkable they stand at 23-16, and currently in playoff position. If they get back to full strength at playoff time, this is a team you would not want to play.
Sandra
How has the home team done the last ten years? I don't really feel like looking it up, but I would think they've won more than they've lost.
Sandra
Diss the Thunder all you want. They're 4-4 for January, with an overtime loss thrown in.
My apologies mdonnelly. You're right. The Thunder are making nice strides lately.
Since 1997, the #1 seeds have only won it all 5 times. That ALONE tells you home court does not mean much.
Woe is Cleveland
Bad, Bad, Bad, really Bad news..............
At the start of the game, the Cavs were already without the services of 2 of their starting 5. By the end of the first, we were down another.
Delonte West has a fractured right wrist. I knew this season was too good to be true. This is Cleveland. I kept waiting to see how this season was going to be derailed, and now I see it.
Delonte was off to another great start tonight when he went up to challenge a Derrick Rose shot and he kind of got his legs cut out from under him. He came crashing down to the floor head first, busting open a cut over his eye, and fracturing his right wrist.
Delonte is this team’s best perimeter defender. He’s the guy who guards the opponents’ quicker PGs when Mo Williams is struggling to stay in front of them. Delonte has been the team’s best 3-point shooter. Delonte is the guy who does all the little things….the intangibles…when the team needs them the most, whether it be a timely steal, or knocking loose a pass on a fast break, or even the occasional blocked shot. In my opinion, the Cavaliers will not be able to get the #1 or #2 seed in the East if Delonte misses extended time. Not with Ilgauskas still out for a while and Ben Wallace losing a lot of strength and weight with his illness. Not with the meat of the schedule still to come.
I will be sitting on eggshells until I hear the estimated time frame for Delonte to heal, but until then, the sick to my stomach feeling just won't go away. This sucks bad!

That does suck! I saw this last night and it did not look good.
Of course I'm a Celtics fan, but I NEVER want my team to benefit because of injury. I hope Delonte is ready for the playoffs.
Delonte, as I'm sure you know, started his career in Boston, and I wish him the best in his recovery. He's a good guy.

Yeah, I knew he came to Boston. So, you're very aware that he is a good guy. Huge heart indeed.
Something that definitely touched me and said a lot about his character came before the start of the second half. During warmups, Delonte came out on the floor with the rest of his team. He was bruised, had a swollen lip and eye. He had bandages over his eye with stitches. He also had his right hand in a support cast. Any other player would most likely be in street clothes taking the rest of the night off in the locker room. Not D-West. He was out there for the second half to root on the rest of his teammates.
Healthy or not, these guys mean the world to eachother. The team concept remains in tack. Other guys are just going to have to step it up.
It would just be a B* if the one thing to derail this dream of a season would be injuries.

That sucks. I watched part of the game and saw where he came back out to the bench.
