i wanted to write a long post about the nba's midrange game(after reading the short article in "hoop" magazine), its premises, how it became lost, how to play it(sam cassell does a decent job, could've added a few more points), but seeing how i'm at the library, this is more a reminder to myself to make the effort to write something on a .doc file, then bring it and post it up next time i go to the library, so i won't waste any time.

cavaliers are hanging tough on the road. it's easy to say pistons are getting overcomplacent, and that is true, but credit the cavs' D.

btw, i think this series will be very close. fact is, pistons feel they kinda got overcomplacent against the cavs last year, so they won't make that mistake this year again. and the cavs felt they should've won last year, but lost it, so they won't take the pistons for granted again. oh yeah; unlike the baby bulls, they actually hate each other; pistons hate varajeo for flopping, the cavs hate rasheed for giving ilgauskas some cranial music. and giving a guarensheed last year.
