Hey Everybody!

So just like the title says….HEY! This is my first post of many on 1 Center Court. Just to give you an idea of what this whole blog is about, I’m a major Cleveland Cavs fan and an even bigger NBA fan. I want to share my thoughts and opinions on what’s happening around the league without making it overly obvious that I think the Cavs are better than everyone else….which they are Sorry, can’t make any guarantees on that one I guess. And I want every one to know that I LOVE a good basketball debate, so if you have any comments about anything I post, please leave comments! So now that you know a little about what I want to do on this blog, I’ll start you all out with my first few topics!



Today, March 22nd, marked the first day that big Zydrunas Ilgauskas could enter into contract negotiations with the Cavs after the Wizards bought out his contract following the big midseason trade that sent him and a 1st round pick to Washington for Antawn Jamison back in February. All signs point to us re-signing Z early tomorrow so that he can travel with the team to New Orleans and play against the Hornets, who just got Chris Paul back from injury tonight.

Speaking of Chris Paul, he returned to the Hornets tonight after missing the last 25 games due to injury, scoring 11 points while adding just 3 assists in a little over 20 minutes of action. Not exactly the Chris Paul we’re used to, but after sitting so long, it’s no surprise he didn’t put up his usual 20/10 numbers. I don’t think Paul will be much of a factor in Wednesday night’s game against the Cavs, but rookie Hornet guard Marcus Thornton might be having some thoughts about trying to out-due his previous 37 point explosion against the Cavs last month. Maybe not if Big Z can get out on the court and swat some of his shots like in the good old days.
