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.
In response, ...

As the sportsMonkey and I were headed to see the second half of the USA/Algeria World Cup game, he remembered that one of his first posts here at MotSaG was about the 2006 World Cup (ironically after another bouncing at the hands of Ghana). That reminded me that we recently ...

... if you play basketball, that is.
Evan Turner went down in Ohio State's spanking of Eastern Michigan. Turner will miss eight weeks after fracturing his second and third lumbar vertebrae. That sounds a lot worse than just a two month injury. That sounds career-threatening. Here's to hoping Evan has a ...

Taking a break from the football season for a minute, let's talk a little baloncesto. (That's basketball if you didn't already know). The NBA season is just around the corner. While I'm wondering how the Cavs are going to do this season, I've also been wondering what's going on with ...

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.
Of course, I'm a fan of ...

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?
Is it really a jump shot ...

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. Then things seemed to come together near the ...
