Sports Thread for 1/6/09: The Quick NBA Runthrough- Celtics Drop Another One

I guess all that trash talking and bullying is catching up to Kevin Garnett. Another poor loss for the defending World Champions tonight, getting up ended by the Jordan's Bobcats 114-106. The defeat gives LeBron and the Cavaliers now the best record in the East.

I guess if the the defeat to the hapless Knicks on Sunday (who, in turned, lost to the awful Thunder tonight) couldn't kick start their surprising lack of defense (Wilson Chandler, with 31 points, unacceptable), then neither did the mediocre Charlotte outfit with Raymond Felton (25 points, 8 assists, 7 turnovers) outperforming Rajon Rondo (16 pts, 6 ass but 9 TO's) tonight.

I guess fate didn't want Dick Vitale to say Carmelo Anthony is awesome baby this Wednesday like he used to do when the All Star forward was at Syracuse. Anthony is out for three weeks after getting a fracture in his right hand in the Nuggets 135-115 victory over the Pacers on Tuesday. Vitale, in ESPN's much overly hyped announcer switch for tomorrow, will broadcast the NBA game between the Nuggets and the Miami Heat with regular partner Dan Shulman, while the usual NBA trio of Mike Trico, Jeff van Gundy and Mark Jackson will do the Duke-Davidson game.

Finally, if Rudy Fernandez isn't voted for as the fourth person in this year's All Star dunk contest, then fan voting for this event should never happen again. You have barely seen Joe Alexander this year for the Bucks, and what dunk has Russell Westbrook done in the NBA this year that is so galvanizing?

Anyone? If you say this one, I will literally laugh in your face.

The Cinema For 8/20/10: Only The Nanny Serves The Good Stuff This Week

It's Friday, that means it's "The Cinema" time: Without a doubt, the best movie this week is the enjoyable Emma Thompson improving on the first version of Nanny McPhee with "Nanny McPhee Returns!" It is another delight for the kids and adults from a class actress in a fun role. Roger Moore of the Orlando Sentinel hopes there is another return for this nanny : But this is a most welcome return, a sequel that rises from the “world of poo” of its setting and tickles and warms the heart. Let’s hope Nanny McPhee is “deployed” again, and soon. Another movie out this week is Piranha 3-D, which has been made as a scary fun spoof to Jaws. The one thing people may agree on with this one is, at least this shows the power of 3-D. From Mr. Moore yet again: Nubile “Playboy” bunnies do an underwater ballet pas de deux in 3D. “Piranha 3D” sells itself. It’s not as scary as it needs to be or as clever as it thinks it is, but the new 3D version of “Piranha” is at lea
