The alien has landed

Sam Cassell just cleared waivers and has signed with the Celtics. This will give the Celtics a veteran PG, who has a bunch of playoff experience (although he still looks funny. Rondo has looked great this year, but there is concern in Boston, that he lacks experience, which he does. This will give them a chance to take some of the pressure off the kid and he will gain that needed experience with the playing time he does get.

If someone had a gun to your head asking for a NBA finals match up, I think you'd be hard pressed not to pick a Lakers/Celtics final. That match up is so exciting to think about. The NBA has to be loving how this thing is working out. This year has been one of the more entertaining in a long time.

*(pic) I'm told that's how Sam arrived in Boston.

The Boston Globe: Cassell clears waivers, signs with Celtics

As I watch this the Washington Capitals have tallied 9 goals against the Bruins, 6 of which they got in the 1st period. I know this is anything but profound, but Ovechkin is fucking awesome (4 goals and 1 assist, so far). He is well on his way to 60 points, and a Hart Trophy. Another note: It's pretty amazing how bad the Bruins look.
