Post-mastectomy

Word out of the Dude Ranch is that we're without the star-headed one for at least a week, maybe two.



There is another rumor going around that the disappearance of both Damon Jones and Devin Brown can be attributed to their recovery from a procedure fusing the two, creating a siamese Cav.

Given what we've seen of the playoffs to this point, I expect that whomever replaces Boobie, will play very minor minutes. Of the 96 accorded to PG and SG, Delonte and Wally will probably each approach 40, leaving only 15 or so to the next man off the bench. If it so happens that we need size to match up with a Doc Rivers spawned gambit putting Pierce at either the 2 or the 4, expect to see Sasha fill those minutes. If we need a steady hand and shooting touch, say hello to my little friend Damon Jones. And if Lebron gets a little too excited from watching himself dribble, Devin Brown will bring in his dervish-like tendencies.

In other words, we're back to square one in determining our rotation. I suspect Mike Brown will try each an incredibly brief period in the first half and given 2nd half minutes to whomever performed best. After all, Mike Brown has never heard the words "match up" before.

Obviously it's must win, so we can all hope to see Angry Lebron from the tip to the buzzer, in which case it will hardly matter who else is in the building.

Go Cavs!

Let's see... Devin Brown never got a chance, Damon Jones sucked and Sasha hit a big 3. Wonder who we'll see in the second half?

As for Lebron, I'll say the first was the single worst quarter of his career or at least top 3.
