5-minute Major [7 December 2010]

 

***Different kind, people.  This Major demands the most important news in five (5) minutes or less.  We rank stories in the rough draft, give it to him to read, and anything he doesn't get to gets cut.  It's what you ought to know before you get to work.***

Arrived?  Carlos Boozer scored 29 and added 11 rebounds in the Bulls' win over Oklahoma City at the United Center.....Coach Quenneville says his assist leader "is probably going to be out for a little bit," but according to the Chicago Tribune, Patrick Kane's undisclosed injury is more likely to keep him out weeks than days.....Shaun Marcum is officially a Brewer after Milwaukee traded to the Jays second base prospect, Brett Lawrie.....The Pacers routed the Raptors 124-100 led by Brandon Rush's career-high 26 off the bench; just another sign this Indy team is going to be a thorn in the side of every playoff team until they are one.....there were an estimated 7 trillion articles written on Sunday night about what's happened to Peyton Manning.....Rick Nash knocked in a power play goal in overtime to seal the Blue Jackets 3-2 win, snapping a 5-game winless streak.....The Bucks dropped another one to the Heat in a game where Dwayne Wade picked up 25 and 14, and LeBron James proved he can consistently thrown down college-quality stat lines everywhere outside Cleveland.....Cheers to the Badgers' Scott Tolzien who won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award.....Carry on.
