- Game to pay attention to: Heat vs. WarriorsYesterday
-
Miami at Golden State
(I'm fully convinced Jason Caffey was able to dunk this ball.)
There's no point in trying to convince you that the Magic/Celtics game is going to be worse than tonight's Heat/Warriors "tilt."
About this time last year, though it was in Orlando (tonight's pairing is in Massachusetts), the Magic took the first step toward ruining Boston's chance at a 70-win season, beating the team in a Sunday night classic. This time around sees the Magic and Celtics playing terrific, sometimes dominant basketball.
That said, it's in Boston, and though you can slam me all you want for continuing to underestimate the Magic in the regular season (I think the team can be Conference finalist material come May), I don't know if this reeks of "classic." Instead, I'm instead looking forward to what could be a 30-point blowout down in the Bay Area.
You see, the Golden State Warriors have just returned from a road trip that they really didn't work too hard to muddle their way through. It was the second Eastern jaunt of the young sea

A look around the league and the web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance.

- Video: LeBron James' monster block on SessionsYesterday

According to the game recap, LeBron James struggled Saturday versus the Bucks, going without a field goal for more than 15 minutes in the second half before he led Cleveland on a decisive 11-2 run. The King finished with 32 points, seven rebounds, five assists and a decisive 97-85 road win. Yes, quite the — ahem — struggle.
Luckily, LeBron made up for it on the defensive end of the floor, blocking a Ramon Sessions first half lay-up into the second row of Section 201, almost knocking out a security guard in the process.
And please don't start with that "a better fundamental player would have kept that ball inbounds" nonsense. It was the second quarter against the Bucks. That "bonus" possession really wasn't needed.

- One-on-One: Danny Granger talks superheroes, pudding, moviesYesterday

When I asked Danny Granger if he could ever remember starting off a season so well, his answer was simple, "No."The Pacers' rising star is averaging 24 points and almost six rebounds a game. It doesn't seem to matter too much to him right now, though. "I know I've put up a lot of points," he told me after Saturday's loss in Orlando. "But, we're 6-10 as a team."
The Louisiana native might be frustrated with the way his team is playing, but he couldn't be doing much more to help. He is in the middle of a break out season that should elevate him into NBA stardom. As you'll see, he's also one of the most interesting players in the League.
Ball Don't Lie: You're big into superheroes. I read that you actually want to build a hidden cave in your house like Batman.
Danny Grager: Yeah ... (Laughs) I'm building a house in New Mexico and actually the builder called me and told me he found a nice little feature, a lift for my car, kind of like Batman had. It's in the works, it's a process. [The Superhero stuff] is just a big thing I've been a part of. I love Superman, lo
