&lt;div class=&quot;description&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;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.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Okafor, Bobcats Nowhere Near Deal</title>

&lt;h3 class=&quot;link-title&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3505264&quot;&gt;Okafor, Bobcats Nowhere Near&amp;nbsp;Deal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;description&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&amp;lt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Blog a Bull NBA FINALS discussion</title>

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The home team Celtics just defeated the Lakers on their home floor in Game 1.&amp;nbsp; Phil Jackson decided not to call any timeouts down the stretch, obviously upsetting the Vegas folk, which resulted in a 98-88 Celtics win.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Despite the Lakers' first game loss, I am still holding out for Lakers in 6.&amp;nbsp; Too young.&amp;nbsp; Too athletic.&amp;nbsp; Can play fast or slow. Deeper.&amp;nbsp; Kobe Bryant.&amp;nbsp; I could go on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Tonight the Lakers failed to cover a 3 point spread,&amp;nbsp; the o/u was at 191.5 and the teams combined for 187 (under).&amp;nbsp; 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.&amp;nbsp; Three in a row is what LA needs to win if they can't steal one on Sunday @ 6 PDT.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
