Thunder-dome
By the time you read this Game Three will be complete, I have no idea who won since this was written last Thursday and revised on Friday. I believed the subject was worth reporting due to the events. Prior to the Thunder-Heat series it was believed the Thunder might return to the NBA Championship once again. After the Spurs dismantled them in Game Two I seriously doubt they can win, we do realize now how valuable Serge Ibaka is to the Thunder.  Ibaka’s injury has certainly impacted the series but that’s not the only problem for them. The Thunder have a great home court benefit playing in the Chesapeake Energy Arena (the loudest arena in the NBA by far).  That's why I give it the nickname Thunder-dome, the question becomes will two games save their bacon?

Bad investment---are you sure?
54-year old billionaire Antony Ressler (a friend of Donald Sterling) has indicated his desire to purchase the Clippers. News reports state Yao Ming is gathering a group of Chinese investors to buy the Clippers as well as Grant Hill also pursuing investors to buy the team. They become the eighth or ninth individual or group expressing an interest in owning the team.  I might ask the question once again, “if nobody is watching the NBA or going to games why is there never a shortage of prospective owners?” I also mentioned I believe there were only two recent instances of teams remaining on the market for a long period of time. The Pistons and Kings remained on the market for a substantial period of time. In both instances the delay had nothing to do with the cost of the franchises.

"Be careful what you wish for"
A number of you are familiar with the adage above; I believe that’s what may have occurred for a number of Kansas fans if they realize what might occur.  Around this part of the country we heard plenty of negative comments about John Calipari and his one n done Kentucky teams. A group of Kansas fans let it be known they were rooting for UConn. They probably failed to take into account the meaning of an UConn win. As the evening began Kansas, UConn and Louisville were all tied with three NCAA Championships. With the 2014 NCAA win UConn moved ahead of the Kansas Jayhawks. We can argue tradition all we want bottom line which team has the most trophies?

Someone will not be drafted
I finally checked out the early entry NBA Draft list; there are 37 names on the list. Consider this, there are only 30 NBA teams if we include college seniors and international players you see the number issues. If you are an underclassman and you leave school early you better be darn sure you are going to be drafted.

Speaking of the draft
Now that the Cavs have secured the first pick in the 2014 draft what’s their next move? Although it logic might dictate trade the pick for a veteran quality player that’s not likely to occur. The present Cavs roster is a collection of talented but poorly coached players. Management has attempted to build a contender post-LeBron but they keep shooting themselves in the foot. Did I mention the coaching issue, how can you fire Mike Brown re-hire him and fire him after but a year on the job? The Cavs will be paying Brown for the next four years since he signed a five year contract. Will they chose Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid or shock us as they did last season. You remember Anthony Bennett don’t you the 2013 number one pick who barely saw the floor? This time the Cavs will choose Andrew Wiggins who will provide an immediate impact unlike Bennett. If the experts are correct Wiggins should make Cavs fans forget the team ever drafted Bennett.

"Big Man" University
Georgetown has a history of developing talented big men in fact it might be considered “Big Man” University. The Washington D.C. school has produced a number of NBA centers going back several years, alum include Patrick Ewing, Dikembe Mutombo, Alonzo Mourning. In more recent years the school has produced Pacer Roy Hibbert and Piston Greg Monroe. The list of Big Man centers may have convinced Jesse Govan to commit to Georgetown. Govan is a 6-10 263 pound center, Rivals.com list him as a 4-star prospect in the Class of 2015. He's a New York City talent from the borough of Queens. .
