If you haven’t heard, Ohio Governor John Kasich issued a resolution on Monday that honors the NBA-champion Dallas Mavericks as “Honorary Ohioans.”
In particular, he recognized MVP Dirk Nowitzki, who “chose to keep his talents in Dallas by renewing his contract with the Mavericks in 2010 and foregoing free agency.”
Oof.
So the burnout of another season took it’s toll on the MotSaG…or more particularly YNBA…
Surprised? Not Really. It is tough to come up with brilliant material on a weekly basis when nothing is going on in the college football landscape.
Ohio State beats Wisconsin 61-57 in the Big Ten tournament. I didn’t get a chance to catch the game on TV (due to a nasty habit of working from nine to five) but thanks to 97.1′s streaming of their broadcast, I was able to listen in on Paul Keels calling the game.
It’s been quiet around these parts recently, mostly due to heavy workloads and blogger burn-out, but…
There’s a lot going on and a lot to talk about. Hopefully everyone’s holidays were enjoyable and the loot haul was plentiful. What did Santa bring all you?
I wanted to highlight a couple articles that have piqued my interested lately.
The first is a little bit old, but it was ESPN’s first mock draft for the NBA that had the Cavaliers somehow ending up with Kosta Koufos (h/t The Sports Diva Magazine).
I started a post on Friday during the Cavs/Celtics game, when the Cavs were down, saying how I was actually going to feel relieved if the Cavs lost Game Six. I wouldn’t have to go through the pain and agony of a close Game Seven.
LeBron is rising up and, once again, we are witnesses.
Is there anyone less menacing than Kevin Garnett? He does his scary “I’m pumped up!” growl mean face and no one notices. I think when Garnett gets mean, an angel is given its wings and puppies giggle uncontrollably.
After already failing in my attempts to blog on a regular basis, the Monday Musings are back after a one week hiatus. And just barely!
The Terrell Pryor watch continues: Now he’s courting offers from places like Memphis. Memphis? I actually told the Monkey last month that he may be one-and-done if he plays both sports, no matter where he plays.
In an attempt to make a weekly brain dump, I’m going to try to do this on a regular basis.
I know it’s only been one game, but the new Cavs have me excited. Even though Ben Wallace is the headliner of this trade, I think the player I’m most excited about is Joe Smith.
2007 was the year of the “Almost!!” for teams that hail from the State of Ohio.
There were eight sports teams from Ohio that either lost a championship game or had the coveted #1 ranking elude them in 2007. Never before have so many teams from a single state reached within inches of the promised land, only to fail at accomplishing the utmost feat.
This is my favorite image from the celebration on the floor of the “Q” after the Cavs Game 6 victory. If you’ve been a fan of the Cavaliers over the past 15+ years, this is exactly how you feel.
A few thoughts after The Cleveland Cavaliers’ 109-107 double overtime victory:
“Air Apparent,” thy name is LeBron James. And you never looked so good.
I guess Rasheed didn’t want to “play a little harder.” How much harder will they play if McDyess is suspended for game 6?
In the third quarter?
I’ve been watching the Cavs all season, listening to the critics knock The King as the Cavs stumbled through the regular season. They could never find an identity and it could be painful at times to watch them play.
