Quick Hits From Tuesday Night

The night in brief:

DePaul 84, Wake Forest 81. And since Bill Rafferty wasn't available at the game, I'll say it for him: Sammy Mejia....ONIONS!!

Miami Heat 100, Chicago 97. Pat Riley is back, complete with the slicked back stockbroker's hair. Only this time, it's an odd combination of grey, black, and blonde. I believe in the Paul Mitchell catalog, that color is categorized as "hamster cock.".... Shaq is also back, and he's brought back the 30 pounds he'd left behind his last season in LA. I've got a feeling another toe injury isn't too far behind...

Atlanta Hawks 100, Cleveland 94. First they beat the Spurs, and now the Cavs. The strategy of betting the money line against the Hawks has just taken a very big hit. Note to anyone that reads my betting "tips" in this blog: I'm an idiot.

New Mexico 71, New Mexico St. 68 (OT). Lobos finding out that when your previous squad was a one man team, and you lose that one man...it makes for a very long year. (Take note, TWolves fans.)

Golden State 110, Seattle 107 (OT). Baron Davis was 6-17, but still took the game winning shot. If you give Baron Davis a shot at the end of regulation, he may not beat you. You give him another shot towards the end of OT, and he may or may not hit it. But give him that third shot, and he's money. In fact, I'll say it right now- Baron Davis is one of the best clutch shooters in the league...33% of the time.

By the way, in the postgame interview, Baron Davis described Derek Fisher as "instant offense." I guess when you spend a lot of minutes next to Mike Dunleavy, any change feels like instant offense.

Milton Bradley to the A's. Randy Moss and Milton Bradley both play in Oakland. A Warriors trade for Ron Artest can't be far behind...Upon which the entire city will be sealed off, much like Los Angeles in Predator 2.
