While We’re Waiting… Home Court Advantage, Mike Brown’s Decision, and Kanye West’s NBA Playoff Video
WaitingForNextYear — ... ]– I’ve gone on record saying that I supported last night’s move, but not everyone has to agree: “In one of the worst decisions in sports history, Mike Brown decided to rest his starters for the Playoffs last night, and the Cavs lost. LeBron, Mo Williams, and Ilgauskas sat for the whole game, and Varejao and Delonte West sat out the second half. Now the 2008-09 Cavs are merely the 5th team to finish a season with a home record of 39-2.” [ Cleveland Frowns ]– So far, so good on the Travis Hafner/Victor Martinez power front.  [ ...

NBA Playoffs Blogger Faceoff: Cavs vs. Pistons
Dime Magazine — ... and the Pistons right now are one of those teams. So Cavs fans can at least enjoy this series against THE former Eastern Conference Powerhouse as a fine reminder of just how far LeBron has brought this team so quickly, while Detroit can daydream about its 2010 cap space (isn’t it a great thing, that salary cap?). Other than that? If this preview is boring, it’s only because the series will be. If Mike Brown was so concerned about injury risk and resting his players in making the foolish decision to deliberately pass up the chance to elevate these Cavs and their home court to ...
