There has been much football discussion on our Web site regarding the balance of power in the Cape Ann Small. I’m not complaining — that’s what the comment section is for. To me, though, there’s not much room for argument. The standings show tw…

You have to check out the big sports radio talk station in Indianapolis’ Website (www.wnde.com). They are waiting, breathlessly, for the Patriots to come to town and somebody from the station has dedicated a few dozen hours (my estimate) on basically hating the Patriots.

After one, it’s Cavs 28, Celtics 22.
Boston seems to be coming alive after falling behind by double digits early.
Leon Powe and Kendrick Perkins helped keep ‘em in it, cleaning up on the glass. Perkins had four boards in the first.

Paul Pierce just addressed the crowd. In his version of an Oscar speech, he thanked everybody in his life, including his mom, brothers, Scot Pollard (for the 6 a.m. workouts at Kansas) and last but not least, Red Auerbach.
