Nice 2nd half for the Orange tonight. Chad got it half right about Rautins. Obviously he's the best 3 shooter on the team but don't look for him to start putting up a lot more shots anytime soon. He's running the offense from the point as a guard (thanks to the development of Joseph on the front line) and sometimes as a forward when he's forced to play there. Triche carries the "point guard" title but he's far from ready for the Big East and Boeheim doesn't trust Jardine there for extended minutes. That said, AR is clutch.

Bob Knight provides more insight into the game than most other color men - but I would like him to get a grip. He talks as much as Dick Vitale with two major differences. Knight actually knows the game and does not chug 5 Hour Energy Drinks every 20 minutes. Are you listening BABY? It's possible to add to the quality of the game experience without a nervous breakdown after every play.

Congratulations to Andre Dawson. Although failing to meet Picasner's standards for inclusion in the Hall, enough sportswriters say fit to induct a man with arguably marginal Hall numbers but a long career of outstanding play and unparalleled decency and sportsmanship. I was right. HOF discussions are so boring that even taking a jab at Picasner doesn't help. Night all.
