Crap..


Oh no..looks like the Wild Thing isn't going to be struttin his Brazilian flow across downtown Cleveland for some time. 

Last night Team USA (non NBA) took on Brazil in a highly anticipated showdown.  Hmm..now, I was just in Brazil and the basketball I watched their was awful, sad even, but apparently they don't put the good stuff on the telemundo.

So the game..5 lead changes in the last minute with Team USA prevailing on 3 free throws in the last second.  So the US of A won and brought home the glorious FIBA Tournament of the Americas trophy (not even close to the greatest trophy brought home to mom).

So why in the world am I mentioning this..well let me tell you.  Something very uncool went down as not only did Anderson "best hair in the NBA" Varejao miss a 3 pointer to end the game, but the Wild Thing left the game with an apparent right shoulder injury with 3 1/2 minutes to go.  Doh..

Reports from the game say, "The team doctor is reviewing the injury. We will know (Thursday night) the extent of the injury," Brazil coach Lula Ferreira said.  So yes, today is Friday, but I am not seeing any updates around the web or on the Cavs website.  We shall see..

Concerning our PG situation..we continue to wait on Damon Jones, but at least Ferry isn't putting all his airballs in one bucket.  This week we have the following PG's working out with the Cavs:  Frank Williams (Knicks), Junior Harrington (Hornets), JR Bremer (Ohio native who had a brief stint with the Cavs), and Chet Mason (rookie free agent). 

But what about Snow..is he really good enough to start?  great question..well, no matter who we pick up this offseason, their will be an open competition for the job.  I could deal with Snow if his stat line was 15 assists and 2 points, but if Damon Jones heads to the CLE, I can't imagine Snow has a chance. 

That's it for now..remember the time is near..
