Quick Links

Very interesting time of year obviously, and a lot going on. Just a few links to PG-related stuff this week...

Delonte West talked before Game 7 about the fact he was familiar with the rims in Boston, that he could find his stroke in tough confines – which also happens to be his former home. Turns out there was some merit to that. He was the only other non-James Cav – or perhaps better said, the only human in a Cavs uniform – who reached double-figures, with 15 in Cleveland’s 97-92 loss.

The Boston Herald looks forward to the Chauncey Billups-Rajon Rondo matchup in the East Finals. Just look at their game in December for the real insight; Rondo went nuts in the first half, but it was Billups who turned up in the fourth, scoring 14 of his game-high 28, including the game-winning FT’s to earn a Detroit win. The moral? Rondo will have his moments, Billups will rule though.

Speaking of matchups, there’s two guys (Chris Paul and Tony Parker) who have a Game 7 to play. Can’t wait to see how Paul plays in this, his first Game 7. The guy has done the stuff of legend this year, can he add to it? The biggest question surrounding Parker is whether or not that life-size cutout of Eva Longoria behind the basket will seep into his mind and kill any kind of FT concentration that he has. Hmmm…

Derek Fisher, the guy with the unenviable task of facing either Paul or Parker in the West Finals – this after a nice dose of Deron Williams in the semis – is featured in a good piece in the OC Register.

With the NBA Draft not too far away, a look at the positional rankings. Obviously, Derek Rose, who most have going either #1 or #2, is the top PG.
