Quote of the day
"I’m anxious to see [LeBron James] do the powder [expletive]. We have bets he won’t do it." -- Shaquille O’Neal, commenting on Lebron’s return to Cleveland Daily blurb
Tonight is the big night in Cleveland, the game that Cleveland fans have eagerly anticipated – the return to Quicken Loans Arena of Zydrunas Ilgauskas. My guess is that he’ll be lustily cheered. But who knows?
Blake Griffin has certainly been a beast of late. He’s averaged 55.5 RSCP over his last six games, including last night’s 58 RSCP (31 pts, 13 reb, 4 ast, 2 stl, 1 blk) in a 5-point win over San Antonio. Meanwhile, Tim Duncan followed up his triple-double with a triple-single (8 pts, 3 ast, 5 reb).
This may be a tough night for the NFL Network. They offer a matchup of Houston @ Philly. I’m not sure that’s compelling enough to overcome the Heat/Cavs game on TNT. If ever there was a chance for an NBA game to attract more TV viewers than a contemporaneous NFL game, this is it.
