On the Bubble

* The moment we've all been waiting for: Mark Cuban's All-Stars

* Didn't know if either of you got to catch the playoff '07 rematch earlier tonight, but the Warriors just lit the Mavs up as electrifyingly as when Baron did it 2 years ago. Look at the NBA.com video.

*Syracuse vs. Connecticut last night... I watched the 1st half and half time, went to a 3 hr basketball tourney and came back at the start of the 6th OT. It is the first time, as Jonny Flinn puts it, that a Big East Tourney game just really didn't matter , everyone was just over it.

*Poot: -- Nets Center Sean Williams plans to spend his summer working out with Amare Stoudemire and Chris Bosh. The ultra-talented second-year player spent eight games with Colorado's 14ers before being returning to the Nets. Teammates and coaches have noticed a difference in Williams since his return. Williams is more accepting of his role and has devoted himself to practice. Traveling in buses after being pampered by charter flights and $100 per diems tends to have that affect on young players. Williams possesses a boatload of potential. Let's hope his stint in the D-League was the wakeup call he needed. As far as role models for big men are concerned, I can't think of anyone better than Bosh.

*This is just too much

it was great to see the warriors tear up the mavs. monta finally looks somewhat healthy and springy again. that 'cuse game was pretty ridic...my favorite part was the guy who came in in OT number 5 for Devendorf (who is the definition of D-Baggery) and hadn't played since December. he was hopping around doing jumping jacks as UCONN brought it into the frontcourt of their 2-3 zone. everyone else on syracuse was hunched over and looked like they would rather be dead.
