Classy Dames.....

After thoroughly enjoying the Cleveland Cavaliers beat down of the Celtics last night, in a game where I correctly predicted that the Celtics "old legs" would tire, I decided to get caught up on the world of Olympic sports. Since the only coverage I seem to stumble upon is the male figure skating competition (never understood it- if you can skate why the hell aren't you playing hockey?) and curling, it was nice to see the other events that took place earlier in the day. However, the biggest story of the day involved the celebration by the Canadian Female Hockey team after winning the gold medal.

After the television anchor segued with "brace yourselves for the scenes you are about to see", I was expecting some sort of X rated behavior from our randy tarts just north of the border. Instead, much to my chagrin, all I saw a group of women puffing on cigars and drinking booze. On the surface, a very ho hum series of events. That being said, with the on ice celebration lasting for more than an hour, I could certaintly see where the Olympic committee might not appreciate the attention. Rest assured if Propick Sports had been a part of the celebration committee, things would have been handled a lot differently.

With a lack of compelling matchups tonight, I am tempted to take the night of and regroup for tomorrow's big day of college hoops action. That being said, with over two feet of snow outside, why not release a total flyer in tonight's NBA action? Here we go. The Cavaliers are coming off a huge road win in Boston last night. More importantly, the Cavs had to battle back from a double digit 3rd period deficit before pulling away handily in the fourth period. While tonight's opponent, the Toronto Raptors are playing without their star player Chris Bosh, I still look for a tight game. With the Raptors catching 5.5 at home, I will release them based on principal alone.
