Smallthoughts: Rant of the Week …Kyrie Irving

This series against the Milwaukee Bucks gave rise to concerns to teams that are linked to Kyrie Irving’s soon to be free agency (Celtics, Knicks,Lakers).

Smallthoughts:Rave of the Week…Cleveland Cavaliers

This franchise had lofty goals of getting back to the finals in what has been speculated as Lebron’s last season in Cleveland(Again) it wasn’t look like that goal was going to be reached.

Smallthoughts:Old School Tuesday …Lonnie Shelton

Lonnie Shelton has the misfortune in my opinion of being the center most often compared to the Knick Captain  Willis Reed size build and a nice shot made Knick fans drool at the prospect of Shelton being another Willis Reed. Shelton wasn’t Willis Reed and he had problems staying out of foul trouble which hurt

Smallthoughts: Rant of the Week …Rajon Rondo

Anyone want to explain why a multi talent guard like Rajon Rondo is now rumored to be on the trade market and to all places ….Cleveland?  Apparently Chicago’s big three is more like a Big Two with Rondo being benched for the last three games.
