1. Well the obvious is finally becoming official : the NHL season is being cancelled. After round after round of utterly and totally useless arguments: the players association and the commissioners are giving up, throwing in the towel and putting the zamboni machines on ice (wait aren't they normally on ice. what do you do with an idle zamboni machine besides give it cameo in Adam Sandler movies). The NHL obviously needs a salary cap AND fewer teams AND a commissioner that knows how to get tv contracts AND a country with more than 10 people that watches it. At this rate we're going to be watching IHL players in NHL uniforms next year. And frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
2. Preview of the potential NBA finals this past weekend when San Antonio took on Miami. You know what...the heat won 96-92. For those of you have so little confidence in the East, they might not be as deep as the West but the upper echelon teams can go with anyone. Miami had a higher field goal percentage, outrebounded the Spurs and limited Duncan to 5 - 14 shooting. Right now I feel like the national pundits are thinking San Antonio is the team to beat (and frankly they are) but don't be suprised if a team from the East wins again.
3. The Cavs seemed locked in the two-face routine. For those that haven't seen Seinfeld in awhile two-face was the girl Jerry dated that looked good only in certain lighting. That describes the Cavs to the T. Somedays they look great (like stopping Lakers) and somedays they look awful (losing to Denver?). I'm not sure why they vary around so much but that won't feed the kids come playoff time. I would like to give a shout out to Sasha (way to keep the foreign bench production steady)
4. I don't know when the last time the number 1 ranked team in the country won the NCAA tournament but Illinois might do that this year. Sure they really rely on their guards to constantly reign 3s but those guards just don't miss. I don't get it but they don't ever (and I mean ever) miss. If Illinois doesn't at least make it to the final 4 (barring injury) it'll be the biggest disappointment since Laz found out that you couldn't have a doggy bag at the all you could eat buffet.
5. Debate of the Week:
Which is a better conference: The ACC or the Big East?
I'm going with ACC if best means top 3. Big East if you mean the median team. The big question then becomes top 4 in the tournament who does better?

i forgot to add on Sunday Dan Dickau (ivan's favorite gonzaga alumn) scored a career high 28 against orlando, a momentous moment
1. What about EA losing money on video games? Does anyone ever think about them? They were the only ones making a profit on the NHL anyway.
2. Good point about upper-echelon East teams (Miami, Detroit). They have the horses to hang.
3. Cavs are definately two-face. I've never seen a team go for 34 points one qtr, 11 points the next quarter, in about 6 different games. I've yet to pin my finger on why.
4. Laz still takes doggy bags to the buffet.
5. ACC by far. UNC, Wake, and Duke can all go to the Final 4. Not to take away from Syracuse, but they rely heavily on McNamara, and as evidenced by their loss to Pitt, he has to make shots for them to win. I don't trust Boston College, but then again, I don't know much about them. Pitt & UConn are definately scary though.
6. Go Dickau! Go Zags!
