Perfectly Awesome Friday

I can't believe that the Bengals are giving Pacman Jones a tryout. How perfect would that be? The Bengals, who are known far and wide as having players who are better at breaking the law than breaking a tackle, dont need any more bad seeds. Their "star" linebacker Malaluga just got caught drunk driving. It will be quite hilarious if they do end up signing him. MAKE IT RAIN!

Also, wanted to take a moment to reflect on how perfectly awesome the Cavs are. 13 straights wins, and a thorough stomping of the Magic last night, all without Mo Williams and Delonte West (except West played yesterday). I have to say that Lebron has been inhumanly awesome lately. His outside jumper has been so dominating, it is amazing to watch him. I can't remember a player who took over a game like he does since Jordan.
Should be a fun all-star weekend.

1) the bengals giving Pacman Jones a tryout is funny. What is not funny, is how Pacman Jones was one of the best in the game and then has gotten completely out of shape since his initial suspension, to the point that I don't even think he played last season.
2) The Cavs are on a definite roll. Lebron gets hot at times (usually late in the game). But, not that I'm complaining, but Lebron is not as great as a shooter as you (or he?) thinks he is. he's just streaky. in fact, he's only shooting 34.5% from 3-point land since the winning streak started and 36% on the season. Many other players are still much better at consistently shooting 3s and outside jumpers. It's still good b/c he can drive on anyone, but his shot is not all-world, it's just streaky.

Yes, he is streaky, and he isn't the best. My point is that we always knew he could drive the lane and play D, but his outside has gotten SO MUCH better that he really is the ultimate 5-tool player right now.
