No matter what the local spin is, this is a team that is either rebuilding or reloading for anther historic run in the NBA post season. After reaching six straight Eastern Conference Finals the Pistons were swept out of the first round of last year's playoffs by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Over the summer there was much second guessing about the trade that sent Chauncey Billups to Denver for one Allen Iverson. That is a move that clearly did not work, so Piston GM Joe Dumars had to go out and change the way his team is going to play.
While it may seem unfair to reduce a season for an entire team to a question about one player, the Miami Heat are going to have to play well enough to persuade All Star Guard Dwayne Wade to resign with the team. The team needs to give Wade some talent to play with, if they do there is no doubt they he could lead them to another NBA title. IF they can put a legitimate team around him, he would be able to shoulder the pressure of leading them towards another title. It really is that simple.
For whatever reason the Cleveland Indians cannot seem to get it right. Over the last few years they have had a lot of talent and yet win/loss success seems to elude them. Even when they do win, they got to the post season and exit early. They play in the worst division in baseball and yet they cannot get it done. Over the last two years they have traded away a lot of their weapons looking to get a bunch of prospects in return, they are trying to change up their mix. In the mean time, their on the field product got their manager and coaching staff fired.
They called it the whiteout. The Phoenix Coyotes slashed prices for their home opener, and gave away white T-shirts in an effort to not only attract fans to the team, but to give their hockey team an emotional boost. Really though this was an attempt by management to prove that the Coyotes are a viable franchise in Phoenix, Arizona. It does not appear that those efforts were successful, as the Coyotes lost the game, and the fans were merely taking advantage of huge discount.

Between frosty breaths on the mound, Brad Lidge warmed to the challenge. Philadelphia's beleaguered closer stranded runners at first and second base on a bitterly cold night when he got Troy Tulowitzki to fly out to shallow left field Sunday, preserving the Phillies' 6-5 win over the Colorado Rockies in Game 3 of their NL playoff series.
