Yeah, the Bulls have won four in a row and caught the Pacers for sixth place in the East thanks to a win over a Cavs team playing without LeBron James, but the big thing that came out of Saturday night’s game in Cleveland is why every team in the Eastern Conference is praying for a season-ending James injury.
I mean, just look: a Bulls team that needed overtime to beat the miserable Suns at home ran over the James-less Cavs in the second half of the second game of a back-to-back.
Tell you what, whenever James exits forever, the Cavs will get their version of the Tim Floyd era.
Get back to their version of the Tim Floyd era, I should say.
The idea that the Bulls traded their best 3-point shooter and then went nuts from beyond the arc in two games might seem like an endorsement of the thinking of management wonks and coach who are trying to fix the Bulls, but it’s more of an indictment of them and/or it’s a case that proves that even bad NBA players have good spurts.
Niko Mirotic is playing well enough to get traded. Oh, wait …
If Mirotic is playing better because he wasn’t traded at the deadline, then that kind of mentally and emotionally weak makeup needs to be traded after the season.
Wait, the NFL didn’t invite to the Scouting Combine certain players who were convicted of violent crimes, including domestic violence, but the league still will allow them to be drafted? The Oscar for Best Hypocrisy goes to Roger Goodell.
Javy Baez races to his right, slides on one knee, twists his body and throws to first to easily get the runner. Who needs spring training?
If Joe Maddon plays Ben Zobrist at second, I’m thinking Cubs pitchers will start posting #resist tweets in advance of protest marches.
Is the Oscar screwup an omen for Northwestern? Steve Rosenbloom
You know who won the Oscars?
Jordan Horowitz, the producer of “La La Land,” the movie that lost the Best Picture category, that’s who.
Horowitz produced the classiest moment in the most excruciating of situations, a producer whose greatest hopes were dashed because nobody could give the right people…

Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane each scored from the most dangerous area on the ice. Why would the Blues allow Toews and Kane to get to the most dangerous area on the ice with the puck? Because they’re the Blues, that’s why, I guess.
One important part of a player’s Corsi rating is the number relative to the rest of his team. The Corsi For Relative metric best frames the puck-possession game of a player on a bad team, such as Martin Hanzal, formerly of the bottom-feeding Coyotes and now of the Central Division-leading Wild whom the Blackahwks are trying to catch.
Hanzal, a big, rugged center, left Arizona with five-on-five Corsi For Relative percentage more than two points better than the Coyotes’ average.
And now, after this weekend’s trade, Hanzal gives the Wild a 6-foot-6 center to go with Mikko Koivu, Eric Staal and Erik Haula. For what it’s worth, Hanzal’s playoff history includes an overtime goal against the Hawks.
Terrell Owens tweet: "After watching the #Oscars2017 Moonlight snafu, maybe I did make the #HOF2017 class."
