In case you missed it, the Rockets snapped a 7 game losing streak with a win over Drexel. They’ll have a whole week to celebrate before they play UMass on the road.

At least the first conference game of the season is against Ball State.

Boston 104, New York 59

We knew Boston was good. We had no idea how bad the Knicks were.

• Pistons 109, Cavs 74 - If there’s no ‘I’ in ‘Team’, then what happens when there is no team, and the ‘I’ goes away?
• Toledo Dropped to 1-5 - Oh goodie, I’m going to be on the air when the Rockets play Pittsburgh.
• And the Commissioner’s Trophy Goes To… - Can they really call it the ACC-Big 10 Challenge if there is no challenge?

And I really didn’t mean to stop updating so soon yesterday. I was kinda preparing the “On Tap” for yesterday and published it early. I think by the time I get in the groove here I’ll proabably have 2 or 3 posts per day… Give me a break, I’m still feelin’ this crap out, alright?

Cleveland 109, Boston 104 (OT) - Lebron says “I” doesn’t need to be in “team”.

Rasta Ricky’s Done - Leave all “medicinal marijuana” jokes at the door.

Detroit 5, Calgary 3 - Red Wings continue to distance themselves from the “unwashed” in the Central.

Sean Taylor Dies - What an upbeat story to start the blog with. Last night it was “responding to simple commands”, and he dies overnight. Condolences to the family, friends, and teammates.

Coaching Carousel Reaches Mach 2 -

To make the merry-go-round go faster…
So that everyone needs to hang on tighter
just to keep from being thrown to the wolves.

-They Might Be Giants

Pittsburgh 3, Miami 0 - Dear Heinz Field: Either install some FieldTurf, or stop letting every college, high school, pop warner, and intramural flag football team play on your field. Whatever money you’re making on that, you’re blowing on new grass.

Edmonton 3, CBJ 1 - Jackets had a 5 on 3 late in the 3rd for the chance to tie it up, and couldn’t convert. Ken Hitchcock glad he doesn’t have to go into yet another shootout. Still a logjam in the Central.
