LeBron: Second Team All NBA?
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Central Division, Cleveland Cavaliers, Editorial, Props, Talent,
Now, I know DroppingDimes.com is a fantasy hoops blog. I just can’t help but direct you guys to Brian Windhorst’s blog post today. For those of you that don’t know Windhorst, he’s one of the best beat writers in the league today - and thankfully, he covers the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He’s so well respected that he’s frequently mentioned in Henry Abbott’s TrueHoop Blog, as well as Dan Steinberg’s Washington Post Blog (DC Sports Bog). Why should you check out today’s post? Well, he does a little “digging” if you will, and by “digging,” I mean simple math to show you how LeBron James got screwed out of the First Team All-NBA.

The End Score Report 004: NFL Draft, JaMarcus Russell, Supersonics Leave Seattle, Alex Rodriguez
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Athletes, Editorial, Front Office, Kudos, NBA, News, NFL, Videocasts,
In this edition of the End Score Report, Dan Devone gives his take on the latest news from the world of sports:
- NFL Draft: Publications, networks, etc. spend the entire year crunching the numbers, and most of the time they aren’t right, even on the #1 pick.
- We discuss the draft. JaMarcus Russell should be the #1 draft pick, not Brady Quinn.
- SuperSonics leave Seattle, possibly heading to Las Vegas if NBA betting disappears.
- A-Rod out of his mind and going bananas with the New York Yankees - 14 home runs in a month.

On Monday New York Yankees relief pitcher Scott Proctor was suspended for four games for throwing behind Seattle Mariner Yuniesky Betancourt on Sunday. Both benches ran onto the field, as did the Yankees bullpen. No actual fighting occurred besides verbally. When Betancourt pointed his bat at Proctor following the pitch, Proctor gestured for Betancourt to charge the mound. This occurred after Yankees first baseman Josh Phelps needlessly plowed over Mariner catcher Kenji Johjima, and after Mariner pitcher Jarrod Washburn hit Phelps in the back with a pitch as retaliation.

Clemens Will Return With The Yankees
Posted by Milo Taibi Categories: Athletes, Editorial, MLB, News,
On Sunday afternoon Roger Clemens announced to a packed house at Yankee Stadium that he will play for the New York Yankees this season. He made the announcement from George Steinbrenner’s office. He said in the announcer’s booth later that game that he did not tell anyone about his decision. It was pretty obvious, as even his longtime friend Andy Petitte was taken aback by this stunning proclamation.

Jorge Sosa was very impressive on Saturday. He may have been impressive enough to hang around in the Majors. Making his season debut with the New York Mets, Sosa went 6.1 innings, gave up two runs on just four hits, and struck out three. Another important factor to his victory last night were his two walks. Sosa has the stuff to succeed in the majors, but in Spring Training he had severe control issues. The Mets would go on to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-2, thanks in part to a home run from Shawn Green in the 2nd inning. Green had three RBI’s on the night.

Dropping Dimes One-on-One Tourney: Round 1, Games 5 and 6
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Site Features, Talent,
So far in this tourney, we’ve had speed vs. speed, small vs. big, and talent vs. experience. Now we move on to the metaphorical unstoppable force against the unmovable object and pit two big men against in each other in this week’s pair of match-ups.
Remember that year David Robinson won the league MVP, and “the Dream” gave him a message during the playoffs by outplaying him? The question of the day is how would these four men step up to the challenge!

Warriors Make History, Defeat Number One Seed Mavericks
Posted by Chris Pereira Categories: Athletes, NBA, News, Playoffs, Scoreboard,
Avery Johnson said all the pressure was on the Warriors. With a game 7 in Dallas looming, there was most assuredly plenty of pressure to be had. But you wouldn’t have known that from watching the Warriors on Thursday night. In their second straight game with a chance to eliminate the Mavs, the Warriors took care of business in the second half and finished off Mark Cuban’s club, 111-86, taking the series in six games.
It’s already been herald as the biggest upset in NBA playoff history. The Warriors were not given a chance in this series by anyone – but that didn’t stop them from becoming only the third eight-seed team to ever eliminate a number one seed in the playoffs, and the first team to accomplish this since the first round turned to a seven game series in 2002.
