• Ilgauskus takes a jab at Detroit’s pre-game huddle… “The old veteran sees other teams leaping together before the tipoff, as if pogo sticks had been smuggled into their midst, and he shakes his head. The Detroit Pistons do this, led by Rasheed Wallace, the prince, behaviorally, if not in the box score, of pointlessness. ‘We don’t jump around,’ said Zydrunas Ilgauskas, the 33-year-old Cavaliers center. ‘We meet in the hallway before we go out for warmups. We have a prayer.’ Apparently, jumping around is not needed to get the Cavs’ blood roaring. ‘We go out and try not to curse after the prayer,’ said Z. ‘I would say it lasts for at least 30 seconds.'” The Plain Dealer Via True Hoop

• Sheed has a new tattoo on his back, most of us couldn’t really tell what it was from seeing it at open practice or during pre-season games. I have been asking around and I have a few people working on it, but someone thinks it may be an extension of his arm tattoo that was the center of a lawsuit when it was featured in a Nike commercial. If any of you can confirm it let us know.
