by: Paul Miles

First of all, why didn't any of you all call me on calling last night's last post "Sunday"? WTF? I know you're snickering at me behind my back. Come on now, that ain't right.

But completely canceling all that out, thanks to Carolyn and everyone who voted for the CSKA Moscow post. It's up on Ball Hype's NBA front page. Feeling the love, guys. But still, when you see a typo, holler at me.

All right, coach's speech is over. Rillie, you're running the point, Mookie, you're covering that ogre looking dude wearing the Lambeer throwback. It's time for the Skip Pass.
