The first word:
1) Is one game enough?
I don't even think Rondo intentionally bumped the referee anyways, so I wouldn't have given him more than 2 regardless. But since the Celtics had already lost game 1 to the Atlanta Hawks the NBA can't have the Celtics down 0-3 in the series by the time Rondo comes back, so 1 game was pretty much by default. Ironically, they lose game 1 with him most of the game, and they win game 2 without him, go figure.
2) What does comeback mean?
This was a choke if I've ever seen. The Grizzlies were up by 24 points with 8:00 minutes left in the 4th quarter and preceded to get outscored 28-3 the remainder of the game including a 26-1 stretch to lose the game by 1. It doesn't mean much, I still think this is going 7 games, and if Memphis can win a game in LA this week, they take the home court advantage back in the series.
3) Did schedule lead to injury?
I've said this before playing 66 games in 120 days can cause injury. And because of this shortened truncated schedule, the Bulls can kiss the championship goodbye due to Rose's ACL tear.
4) Should RG3 be upset?
So, the Redskins trade 3 draft picks to St. Louis to trade up to pick Griffen at #2 and then in the 4th round they draft an equally capable QB out of college in Michigan state's Kirk Cousins, and the fact they have a backup capable of winning games in Rex Grossman, what the hell is that franchise doing? Griffen should still win the starting job, but will be tougher.
5) Impressed by debut?
He's 19 years old, but already Bryce Harper has already made noise for the Nationals. In his first game on Saturday he fired a strike from LF to home plate, that, if the catcher held onto the ball would have ended up winning them the game instead of losing the game. Tuesday night he started the game-winning rally in the 9th with a leadoff double down 1.
Headlines:
1) Nike Rep Blames Adidas Shoes?
What a stupid statement, like the shoes you wear causes injury. Next time a star player with Nike shoes Adidas should pipe "wouldn't have happened wearing Adidas."
2) Any chance for Knicks Tonight?
The only chance for the Knicks was to lose by less than 30 like they did Saturday, and probably less than 20 as well. With Amar'e Stoudamire out for likely the series by punching a fire extinguisher case after game 2's 10 point loss, the Knicks have no chance to win this series.
Mailtime:
1) Interference on OT goal?
There's always a lot of traffic in front of the goalie on goals, Brodeur was outside the crease and may or may not have initiated contact to begin with
2) Did Mavs blow best chance?
First games in a 7 game series aren't that importnant, but on the road when you lead for most of the game was dissapointing, but would be more dissapointing if they lost this at home.
3) Does New Logo makes Nets Hip?
This makes the Nets hip?? Looks like a logo a team from the 1930's would use.4) Should Ump Tackle streaker?
They should worry about action on the field, but when a streaker runs past them and theirs no security in sight, I see no problem with the ump tackling him.
Big Finish:
1) More Impressive: Spurs or Lakers?
Andrew Bynum with a triple double and the Nuggets were playing better then the Jazz the Spurs opponent.
2) Still hasn't homered?
It's April 30, who cares? Maybe if at June 30 Pujols has less then 10 home runs, people can start to worry. He's still getting used to AL pitching spending his entire career in the NL.
3) Good fit with Raiders?
If Matt Leinhardt likes holding a clipboard I guess, but he probably won't even play.
4) Not ready to retire yet?
He may not be ready, but not a lot of teams are going to pick up Donovan McNabb, yet alone start him, so he may not have a choice
5) Who yah got tonight?
Pacers don't fall behind 0-2 at home, they win.
