 --Former Cavs coach Bill Fitch, 74, lives in Texas, but that didn't keep him from jumping aboard the Cavs' bandwagon. He not only subscribes to League Pass, where he can watch every Cavs game, he also gets satellite radio. "I listened to (Cavs radio broadcaster) Joe Tait the other night," Fitch said. "I don't know how you label him. He's like Mel Allen of the Yankees or Harry Caray of the Cubs. You can't mention the Cavs without Joe's name coming up." --NBA commissioner David Stern is not a big fan of teams resting players down the stretch of the regular season. "Well, it's a bedeviling issue as teams get ready for the playoffs and they want to rest key players," he said on "The Monsters in the Morning" radio show in Chicago. When the topic of the Cavs' final regular-season game against Philadelphia came up, Stern said he wasn't a big fan of the tactic (the Cavs rested four key players, including F LeBron James). "Well, you know, that's a bit much," Stern said. "I think coaches should dress those guys. If they are well, have them take a few turns around the court. I understand it. So suppose they play and then he sits them, and they play eight minutes. It's the same thing in a way. They're able (to play), but he's holding them back." QUOTE TO NOTE: "The sooner you can get it over with, the more you can rest and scout the next team." -- Cavs G Delonte West, about their playoff series against the Pistons.
