It's opening night, and Boston is a buzz with their 17th banner, and the rings that go with it...

Dunkin' Donuts sold donuts here for 17 cents to mark the occasion...Paul Pierce made stops at 3 stores to serve some donuts and hand out tickets to opening night. A high schooler passing by walked in to see what the commotion was about and walked out of the store with a pair of tickets...right place, right time!

The Cavs have said they won't watch the ceremony, knowing the motivation to win it all comes from within...

By the way, Mike Brown says JJ Hickson's tardiness recently for a shoot around is in the past. Mike purposely got on the bus early today, and JJ was already seated and ready to go...message received.

On a side note: Boobie's latest head shave includes Batman...he figured something different, since it's Halloween week.

Mike again is hoping to play 10 guys, but finding minutes for that many is always the challenge...for Sasha and Wally, the fit will really be tight. They both know performance will determine how much they see the floor.
