Tyrus' "Sarcastic Comment" Led to the Blowup
"This is certain: Thomas' seven minutes capped an eventful stretch in which Thomas played 5:06 last Saturday, not at all Tuesday against the Knicks and was sent to the locker room by Del Negro for making a sarcastic comment during a recent practice."

Okafor, Bobcats Nowhere Near Deal
>Okafor averaged 13.7 points and 10.7 rebounds a game last season, and led the team in blocked shots (1.7 per game) and field-goal percentage (53.5). Brown has said it's critical they retain Okafor for his defense and inside presence on a team that struggled to rebound last season.
With the team losing money and struggling to sell tickets, there is added pressure to reach the playoffs next season for the first time. Keeping Okafor -- or getting a quality big man in a sign-and-trade deal -- is essential. But because of complicated salary-cap rules, it would be difficult for the Bobcats to pull off a sign-and-trade.<

The home team Celtics just defeated the Lakers on their home floor in Game 1. Phil Jackson decided not to call any timeouts down the stretch, obviously upsetting the Vegas folk, which resulted in a 98-88 Celtics win.
The win for the C's was not really as decisive as the final score indicates, however, as LA not only hung in there through 3 quarters but led most of the first half.
PJ Brown, ex-Bull, came in off the bench for the Celtics to log some HARD minutes after an ineffective Kendrick Perkins went out with an ankle sprain.
Bryant disappeared in the 4th Quarter, as Sasha Vujajcic pulled up for a couple bad shots and the Lakers basically were totally out of sync in the 4th.
Despite the Lakers' first game loss, I am still holding out for Lakers in 6. Too young. Too athletic. Can play fast or slow. Deeper. Kobe Bryant. I could go on.
Tonight the Lakers failed to cover a 3 point spread, the o/u was at 191.5 and the teams combined for 187 (under). The NBA still does the idiotic 2-3-2 format in the Finals, so Boston stealing one in La La Land could be monumental, or at least more so than stealing one in the 2-2-1-1-1 format is. Three in a row is what LA needs to win if they can't steal one on Sunday @ 6 PDT.
