~Danny Ainge attended the Big 12 tourny and sat next... But of course Kevin Durant's mother and grandmother. How hilarious is that. Hey Danny you know you the NBA works differently than college recruiting right? If you make friends with his mother it doesn't mean you're going to do any better in the lottery. Sad but true. I don't know if I would read anything into this as to who the Celtics would take with the #1 pick but it is quite humorous how Ainge would rather chit chat with Durant's mom than watch either the team he runs or his son who's a senior that played in the Mountain West Championship game in Vegas for BYU.
~Federer got knocked off this weekend. I was kind of hoping he would run off a few more to break the 45 match win streak record. Oh well, it looked like he mildly hurt his foot during the match. The only significance of this loss is the loss of the streak, I'm sure his head is full on preparing for the French Open.
~Ike Thomas got an extension with the Knicks this weekend. Quite humorous. I see the improvement on the Knicks and they do have a chance to make the playoffs but why now? Why not wait until the end of the season? I guess it doesn't matter, Dolan just wanted to see a win total in the mid 30s, which is where they will finish.
~Jimmy Boeheim has been on basically every ESPN radio show today yelping about how they didn't make the tourny. He has some valid points, like the simple statement that they should be in, but he attempts to defend the fact they don't leave the state of New York the first 4 months of the season. Which is stupid. Part blame goes on ESPN as I'm sure they've begged him for interviews on each show.
~Virginia Tech shot about 33% from the free throw line against NC State in their loss. In sharp contrast Holy Cross nailed every free throw down the stretch. Why does athleticism seem to sharply contrast ability to make free throws in college basketball. Pretty dumb.
~Stallworth was a good pickup for the Pats. Perhaps that means the Moss trade talks are done. They also signed Kelley Washington the former Bengal today.
~25 Game suspension for Simon is about right.
