he was facilitating all night. He knows what he has or doesn't have and he was getting guys great looks from the jump. I didn't see the numbers (was flipping around to four games) but he might have had double digit assists in the first half, maybe more.

both teams were turning the ball over in weird ways, a lot of pick-up game type plays being attempted. it was just bad basketball.

the break might not be long enough, especially with lebron having to do all the all-star game shit. this is a test of mettle for the leadership more than anything, i think. they have a tough situation on their hands here and not much time to wallow in it. they could easily fall out of the playoff picture if this lingers through the rest of the month even.
