Recent Sports Necrology: Over the past day or two the sports world has lost some notable people. Stirling Moss, passed away at the age of 90. He was one of the legendary racing drivers in what some might call the golden age of racing. Moss competed against the likes of Juan Manuel Fangio (a teammate) when Ferrari, Maserati, and Mercedes ruled.

Roger Bannister has Passed Away: Roger Bannister, the first man to run a mile in less than 4 minutes has died. The feat was accomplished in 1954. We had a small black and white TV, and film of it was shown on the sports news. I also remember seeing it in the newsreels at the movies. It was a really big deal then, but now even high school kids are running under 4 minutes

...and Maybe the Dynamite Fizzles: Cleveland is having second thoughts about the Thomas-Irving trade after Isaiah Thomas took his physical. What's up here?

Boom goes the dynamite.: After promising off-season fireworks for the past few years, the Boston Celtics have delivered. A trade of Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Anton Zizic, and the unprotected first round draft pick from Brooklyn in exchange for Cleveland's Kyrie Irving has been announced. Does this put Boston into the NBA finals? What is Cleveland thinking? 2017-18 will be an interesting season.

rcade, the pick 'em form is hosed. It shows only 2 games with no teams posted for either. Must be a problem caused by the eclipse. (There, I have given you an excuse.)

'Tis the time in the roundball association when strange things become the norm. Starters are being rested (oops, recovering from injury), officials are getting a bit short tempered (and trying to get enough creds to get some playoff assignments), and everyone is a little tired of the game. I blew 3 slam dunks last week and still won the week. Ill winds blow in March.

Celtics next 3:
Cleveland without Donovan Mitchell
Denver with no significant injuries
Phoenix possibly without Devin Booker
The Mean Green Team might have caught a break this week -- like we really need one.

Celtics vs Heat again. Let's just say that Celtics are not about to let Miami take them down again. I might be wrong about the number of games in each series, but I'm pretty sure of the winners.
