Did Leighton Meester and Adam Brody secretly tie the knot?
"Gossip Girl" may be over, but that doesn't mean the gossip has stopped following Leighton Meester.
"Us Weekly" says sources have confirmed to them that the actress has tied the knot with her actor boyfriend Adam Brody in a secret ceremony.
Adam was spotted leaving a gym session with a gold band on his finger. Check him out with the ring:

The low-profile couple has yet to make any official announcement about the apparent nuptials, but that's as expected.
Meester and Brody have yet to officially confirm their relationship since it first went public about a year ago. And they've also never officially confirmed their engagement, which reportedly took place last November.
But if the secret wedding really did take place, it marks the first for both stars.

According to a report in the Plain Dealer, LeBron James inked a deal with Nike that will cover at least another seven years.
James will obviously receive tens of millions of dollars, but what's more important is what's not contained in the contract: no location bonuses.
James won't receive any extra cash for going to New York City, Los Angeles or Chicago for that matter. That means stuff like this musing from Mike Lupica, published in the New York Daily News, has even less luster:

Cavs 101, Bucks 98
The Cavs eke one out in a game that was a lot closer than it should have been and needed to be. The primary reason: the Cavs got to the free throw line 45 and missed 16 of those shots.
''I'm not going to overkill. I feel we have pretty good free throw shooters, but we do have to do a better job of knocking those down,'' Brown said. ''If we're going to earn that right to go to the free throw line we're going to have to capitalize (on it).''
Mike Brown doesn't sound too concerned about it, but the reality is that the Bucks are a playoff caliber team and clubs such as those will eventually make you pay if you don't connect on free throws. The Cavs have been lucky in that they've not been negatively impacted by rancid free throw shooting in recent games. It ultimately could cost them in the playoffs.
The other problem with tonight's game? The Cavs got beat in the paint, something that rarely happens. It wasn't by a great margin 42-36, but nonetheless it happened. It points to the fact that they miss two players - Shaquille O'Neal and Anderson Varejao. My money says they miss the latter more the former, however.
O'Neal's an imposing presence in the paint and the Bucks got a lot of drives in the middle leading to easy scores.
Despite the problems tonight, the game, which had a playoff atmosphere at some points, could end up helping the Cavs.
''Tonight I thought was good for us…Milwaukee did a nice job against us tonight,'' Brown said. ''Our guys had to fight, stay focused and trust one another down the stretch in order to get the win and they did it.''
Game: Cavs vs. Milwaukee Bucks
TV: FSOhio Radio: WAKR (1590 AM); WTAM (1100 AM), WHBC (1480 AM).
Cavs: LeBron James (F); Antawn Jamison (F); J.J. Hickson (C); Anthony Parker (G); Mo Williams (G).
Bucks: John Salmons (G); Luc Mbah a Moute (F); Andrew Bogut (C); Charlie Bell (G); Brandon Jennings (G).
Cavs: Shaquille O'Neal (right thumb), Sebastian Telfair (ruptured groin); Anderson Varejao (sore left hamstring) - OUT.
Bucks: Carlos Delfino (neck and jaw soreness) - DAY-TO-DAY; Michael Redd (tore ACL and MCL) - OUT.
Officials: Eddie Rush, Tony Brothers and Leroy Richardson.
The Milwaukee Bucks won't be a pushover as the Cavs begin a seven-day stretch when they face four possible playoff foes. The Bucks beat the Cavs the last time they met in Milwaukee as point guard Brandon Jennings and Andrew inflicted damage on the Cavs who played without LeBron James.
Bogut joins Dwight Howard as the only center in the league averaging 15 points, 10 rebounds and two assists. With the Cavs not starting a center and Zydrunas Ilgauskas still getting his legs back, he could be difficult to handle - even for the athletic J.J. Hickson who has played well filling in.
But the Bucks, which is a team with substantial depth, has been playing as a cohesive unit since February. The Bucks are 21-7 since then, third best in the Eastern Conference and fifth best in the NBA. Defensively they've stepped it up as well.
The Cavs will be without Anderson Varejao, their spark plug off the bench while the Bucks will have theirs in Luke Ridnour, who is averaging 12 points in his last six games. At this point, the Bucks own the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, but still haven't clinched. They are looking to wrap that up. While the Cavs have their magic number for the league's best record down to four.
SAN ANTONIO – Coach Mike Brown copied a lot of what he knows from the San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. It should be of little surprise then that Friday night's game between the Cavaliers and Spurs turned into a gritty, grind-it-out affair that didn't lack for excitement. In the process the Cavs lost the game 102-97, their eight-game win streak and forward Anderson Varejao with a sore left hamstring. Led by the play of guard Manu Ginobili, who scored 30 points and dished out six assists, the Spurs put together enough of a run toward the end of the game to pull out the narrow win. ''Manu has played very well against this season,'' Brown said. ''Not only was he scoring, but he was making the right plays for his team.'' Ginobili scored 15 of his points in the third quarter to take over the game. ''I just tried to be aggressive. I made a couple of three-pointers and I went to find open teammates,'' Ginobili said. ''I think the big key were those three-pointers that really got me going in the fourth quarter.'' LeBron James led the Cavs with 27 points, five rebounds and 10 assists while Antawn Jamison added 24 points, nine rebounds. J.J. Hickson continued to point to himself and make Brown's decisions regarding the playoff rotation difficult with 20 points and eight rebounds. Possessing the intensity of a playoff game, the Spurs were able to take things over at the end of the game with impressive defense. With a minute left in the game the Cavs found themselves down by six and staring a loss squarely in the face. By the time Ginobili sank two free throws with 44.9 second left to put the Spurs up 94-86, the Cavs' fate was inevitable. Though coach Brown did what he had to, making the game longer to get that one opportunity to tie it up it never happened. In one respect the Cavs beat themselves as they shot just 65 percent from the line (15-of-23). The loss reversed what could have easily been a win after the first half. ''They executed great,'' James said. ''When they shoot the ball well, they're very tough to beat because we already know they're going to play defense.'' The Cavs looked as if they were going to take things in hand in the second quarter when the hit on 9-of-13 of their shots including five three-pointers. That's when Jamison began to assert himself. He went into the second scoreless, but soon found his rhythm offensively, hitting 6-of-9 shots and connecting on three treys in the period. When he couldn't keep things going, James picked them up. He scored 17 of his points in the second half, only to watch as they came up short against a motivated San Antonio team. The Cavs also slowed the Spurs offensively allowing them to take a 50-45 lead into the half. In a game that went back-and-forth, one constant existed, suspect officiating as referees missed calls on both sides of the court. Some were more blatant than others, however leading players to voice their concerns more than normal. There was a certain almost white haired coach named Popovich doing the same. In fact a key charging call on Hickson gave the Spurs a chance to nail things down. The Spurs had everything to play for as they continue to scrounge for playoff positioning in the NBA's Western Conference. But the Cavs blew a big opportunity as well, as the Oklahoma City Thunder blew out the Los Angeles Lakers. Had the Cavs won they would have inched closer to the clinching the best record in the league. Instead they will toil on, looking to put space between themselves and the Lakers.To read more or comment...
Game: Cavs (57-15) at San Antonio Spurs (42-28).
TV: FSOhio Radio: WAKR (1590 AM); WTAM (1100 AM), WHBC (1480 AM)
Cavs: LeBron James (F); Antawn Jamison (F); J.J. Hickson (C); Anthony Parker (G); Mo Williams (G).
Spurs: Richard Jefferson (F): Tim Duncan (F); Antonio McDyess (C); Manu Ginobili (G); George Hill (G).
Cavs: Shaquille O'Neal (right thumb); Sebastian Telfair (ruptured groin) - OUT.
Spurs: Tony Parker (fractured fouth metacarpal) - OUT.
Officials: Mike Callahan, Mark Lindsay and Jason Phillips.
The Spurs come into tonight's game having won just 2-of-5 of their last games, including a massive implosion against the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday where Tim Duncan - 2-of-11 shooting - was ineffective. They're in an unfamiliar spot fighting for playoff positioning while the Cavs can cruise.
That, however, would be mistake as the Los Angeles Lakers are just 3.5 games back of the Cavs for best record in the NBA. Additionally coach Mike Brown will still be working on on his playoff rotation. Look for Antawn Jamison to play a little more at the three spot as he works to find a lineup where J.J. Hickson can still get minutes after the inevitable return of center Shaquille O'Neal.
Parker remains out for the Spurs, but guard Manu Ginobili remains on a tear offensively.
Cavs 105, Hornets 92.
Difficult to argue with results in this case. For the Cavs it's a win and at times they looked impressive doing it. The defense got a little skunky in spots, but it showed up in the third quarter when the Cavs held the Hornets to 39 percent shooting in the quarter while the Cavs shot well over 60 percent in the same span.
While the win kept the Cavs win-streak rolling to eight, the longest current one in the NBA, that's not the most important thing to come out of it.
You saw some signs of what Mike Brown intends to do with the rotation come playoff time. he used just eight guys total and the three to come off the bench were Anderson Varejao, Delonte West and Zydrunas Ilgauskas. Yes, others showed up when the game was decided, but it was that core group he utilized.
Will it change? Probably given that Shaquille O'Neal is still out and is expected to return in time for the playoffs. That makes life difficult for Brown - albeit in a good way - because he's going to have to try to decide what to do with J.J. Hickson's playing time. Hickson didn't make the decision easier with his 20-point, nine-rebound performance. That's the for Brown to make.
With 10 games left, stay tuned.
Game: Cavs (56-15) vs. New Orleans Hornets (34-38)
TV: FSOhio Radio: WAKR (1590 AM); WTAM (1100 AM), WHBC (1480 AM).
Cavs: LeBron James (F); Antawn Jamison (F); J.J. Hickson (C); Anthony Parker (G); Mo Williams (G).
Hornets: David West (F); Emeka Okafor (F/C); Morris Peterson (G); Marcus Thornton (G); Chris Paul (G)
Cavs: Shaquille O'Neal (right thumb); Sebastian Telfair (ruptured groin) - OUT.
Hornets: Sean Marks (strained right shoulder); Peja Stojakovic (lower abdominal strain); and Ike Kiogu (left knee surgery) - OUT.
Inactives: TBD
Officials: Ron Garretson, Eric Dalen, Michael Smith.
With Zydrunas Ilgauskas' return it's time for the meshing to begin. The final 12 games of the season are going to be less about winning - yes, the emphasis will be there - but more about getting coach Mike Brown's playoff rotation in order. That begins tonight.
Expect Ilgauskas to get 20-25 minutes off the bench against the Hornets in an effort to get his rhthym back.
''We don't have many games left before the playoffs. I've never been in this position before, but I think there are enough games for me to play in and get my timing back coming off the bench,'' Ilgauskas said after Wednesday's shootaround.
By the same token, the Cavs will have to stay sharp offensively and defensively. Last time out, although they beat the Hornets, rooking guard Marcus Thornton torched them for 37 points. Perhaps they'll actually guard him this time.
Point guard Chris Paul recently returned from knee surgery and has only one game under his belt since and scored 11 points and dished out three assists in it.
Buzzer beaters: Tonight is Mike Brown's 400th game as coach of the Cavaliers. He currently holds a 67 percent winning percentage, the second best among active coaches behind the Los Angeles Lakers' Phil Jackson.
The Cleveland Cavaliers completed a deal with center Zydrunas Ilgauskas to bring him back to the team for the remainder of the season.
The deal is just for the rest of the year and uses a pro-rated portion of the bi-annual exception. Ilgauskas will be able to test the free agent market next season.
''He came back to win a championship,'' agent Herb Rudoy said.
INDEPENDENCE – The agent for former Cavaliers center Zydrunas Ilgauskas expects to have a deal with the Cavaliers by the end of they day. Herb Rudoy, Ilgauskas' agent, said that he expects things to go very smoothly and just had to iron out a couple of minor things with Cavs general manager Danny Ferry. The Cavs have two contract options for signing the team's all-time leading rebounder – the veterans minimum worth about $1.3 million and the bi-annual exception worth $1.99 million. Ilgauskas is expected to sign for the latter at a pro-rated amount for the rest of the season. He could have easily asked for a multi-year deal that would cover next season. After murmuring about potential retirement near the beginning of the season, Ilgauskas reversed course and stated that he would welcome the chance to come back for at least one more season, but decided against asking for that with this deal. ''He wants to see what happens this year,'' Rudoy said. Ilgauskas' return complicates the Cavs roster situation, leaving them to ponder who to get release to reach the league maximum of 15 team members. Ilgauskas left the Cavs in the three-team trade that brought Antawn Jamison and Sebastian Telfair to the Cavs near the trade deadline last month.To read more or comment...
Cavs (55-15) 92, Bulls (31-37) 85
The Cavs' defense won this game for them, but it continues a recent trend as they once again played to the level of their competition.
The Bulls came into the game without three starters and hung with the Cavaliers until six minutes left in the game when LeBron James exerted his will and shook off his own anemic start to close the game.
''(The Bulls) had a chance to win, but obviously the last few minutes of the ballgame our focus was there and our energy was there,'' Brown said.
He sparked a 12-2 run to give the Cavs enough separation to gut out a win, their sixth consecutive and 12th in 13th. Coach Mike Brown correctly praised the Bulls for the way they played, which considering the fact they had no Derrick Rose, Luol Deng or Joakim Noah, which was earned.
As the rest of the season plays out, we really have to concentrate on – no matter who's in front of us – trying to step on the floor and get better, hopefully, every possession.
However, with the team preparing for a playoff run, they continue to look remarkably unfocused in the process. Boredom? Possibly. Lack of focus? Definitely. But what happens if Zydrunas Ilgauskas and he cannot mesh with the way the team is playing? Ditto Shaquille O'Neal when he comes back from his injury.

What do you say about a game where the opposing team is missing three starters? Looking at the starting lineup reminded me of that scene in Major League when fans are looking over the roster and asking "Who's this (bleeping) guy?
With who the Bulls are starting this should be an easy win, but after their last two performances against the Pistons and Pacers, I'll pass on that
Of note: Lebron James goes for career point 15,000 which would make him the youngest player in NBA history reach that plateau. Officials:
Apparently the suits at the worldwide leader, ESPN had enough of Detroit Pistons basketball Monday night. That's when the Pistons got decimated on national television by the Boston Celtics oh the cable channel Monday night. A game between the Pistons and Cavs was taken off the network and the time shifted from an 8 p.m. to 6 p.m. start.To read more or comment...

Cavs 113, Pistons 101
Don't fool yourself, the game wasn't that much of a blowout. The Cavs padded the lead toward the end. For much of the game, it looked as if they were taking the Pistons lightly as they let them hang around. It was as if one team were still playing a rivalry and the other wasn't.
LeBron James notched his fourth triple double (29 points, 12 rebounds, 12 points) on the season and point guard Mo Williams hit on 5-of-8 three point shots, including three in the fourth quarter, to score 20 points, but still the victory didn't come until coach Mike Brown challenged his team.
The problem: the refs. And the Cavs were letting it be known that they didn't appreciate the calls, lack thereof or both. Eventually Brown had enough of it.
''We were starting to complain too much. I think we're good enough to win despite any obstacles in front of us. I just wanted our guys to know and understand we can go win no matter what's going on out on the floor,'' he said. '' We're good enough to go win a ballgame.
''I was complaining. Some other guys were complaining, so I wanted to put an end to it and LeBron did. I was complaining a little later in the game and he turned to me and said: ''I don't want no call, Mike! Don't say nothing. I don't want no call.' And I said: 'OK, I wont' say anything.'''
It wasn't until late in the fourth quarter when they put this one away. With as little as 4:28 left on the clock, the Pistons had tied the game on three Charlie Villaneuva free throws. A couple of stops, including a quasi-controversial non-call, helped the Cavs gain some momentum. The play: LeBron James laying in wait to chase down a Will Bynum shot with 1:35 to go and the Cavs up by just three points.
The crowd thought it was goaltending. The Pistons Jonas Jerebko thought it was goaltending, but the refs did not.
''That was definitely goaltending, but the refs said it was still going up, so it didn't (get called),'' he Jerebko said.
And James?
''I did sense I got it before it hit the glass…but it could have gone the other way,'' he said.
The team's bench players came through in a big one once again, scoring 34 points. This time with Jawad Williams contributing 10 points and Daniel Gibson coming out of mothballs to knock in a couple of valuable three-point shots.
Game: Cavs (53-15) vs. Detroit Pistons (23-45)
TV: FSOhio Radio: WAKR (1590 AM); WTAM (1100 AM), WHBC (1480 AM)
Starters: Cavs: LeBron James (F); J.J. Hickson(F); Shaquille O'Neal (C); Anthony Parker (G); Mo Williams (G).
Cavs: Shaquille O'Neal (thumb surgery), Sebastian Telfair (groin), Delonte West (sprained knee) - OUT.
Pistons: Ben Wallace (right patella tendon strain), Rodney Stuckey - OUT. Tayshaun Prince is a game-time decision.
Officials: Bennett Salvatore, Matt Boland and Kane Fitzgerald.
The Pistons are missing two key elements of their team tonight and they may be without a third. Ben Wallace and Rodney Stuckey are definitely out. Stuckey is still recovering from the incident that took place on March 5th at Quicken Loans Arena. Pistons coach John Kuester said that they hope to get medical clearance on Stuckey this week and they'd want to see him in practice a couple times before he returns to the court. Tayshaun Pricne will be a game-time decision.
The Cavs will be without Delonte West, who apparently sprained a knee against the Boston Celtics. Given the role he's had recently it's significant, but I suspect it won't be that great of an impact on the game.
PHILADELPHIA – Leon Powe found himself in an unfamiliar spot Friday night against the Philadelphia 76ers – in the starting lineup.
Antawn Jamison's knee issue kept him at home in Cleveland and thrust Powe into his role, the first time he's started since his first major knee injury in the NBA.
''I've been through the fire. It's nothing unusual for me,'' Powe said. ''I don't start, but I've been through finals playoff games and just all types of hostile environments.''
The starting nod can be considered unusual because Powe didn't get any minutes in the team's prior two games – even with injuries to key players.
Starting Powe Friday was a way not to interrupt the rest of the team's flow.
It keeps Andy coming off the bench and keep the other guys coming off the bench with them,'' Brown said.
Varejao's energy in a sixth-man role has always been coveted by Brown. It also gives Powe more chance to shake off the rust.
''Right now I'm just trying to give him minutes to let him get a taste of game action this season to see if we can get him up to speed for possibly the playoffs,'' he said.
But the reality is that the forward acquired during free agency last summer, doesn't possess a lot of athletic prowess just yet. Powe knows it.
''I'm not going to go out there and try to a 360 Alley-Oop. I know I can't do that,'' he said. ''I'm confident in my defense where I can hold guys up and push off on my leg and jump for rebounds and stuff, so that's what I need.''
Brown values his willingness to go out there and bang around and essentially do the dirty work on the court, he said and knows that the knee isn't the problem.
''In terms of him being hurt? No. In terms of him getting used to the speed of the game and trusting that knee? Probably. Only on-court time will help out,'' he said.
Post mortem: Cavs 100, Sixers 95
Talk about a gift. The Cavs give up 66 points in the paint on so many dunks that a supercomputer would be required to count them all and they pull out a victory.
No, they didn't deserve to win this one. They played crappy defense for much of the game and were only bailed out when they played some D in the fourth quarter and because their bench stepped up.
First some props to LeBron James and Mo Williams who played well together. Williams has been struggling, but dropped in 21 on 8-of-13 shooting. James deserved credit for coming in off of a week's rest and an ankle injury.
But defensively, they didn't ratchet things up until the fourth quarter when they held the 76ers to 16 points on 5-of-17 shooting. And they finally clamped down on Andre Iguodala, who burned them for 30 points, and Elton Brand, who knocked in 24.
The bench, led by Delonte West's 17 points came up huge with 44 points. Anderson Varejao added a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds and Jamario Moon dropped in nine points on a night when it was really needed.
With Antawn Jamison and Shaquille O'Neal out with injuries, this kind of effort was needed. It's the type of effort they gave Monday against the Spurs and in the home stretch and upcoming playoffs, who knows when it will be needed again?

If the Cavs are looking for a chance to perhaps pick off a stress-free victory, Philly may indeed be the place right now. Although on paper it's not a bad team, it is one in a quasi-state of disarray right now. Rumors are swirling around first-year coach Eddie Jordan and the fact that he will be fired at the end of the season. How do I get a gig like that? Work for a year, get fired and still collect a fat, seven-figure paycheck?
The Cavs have won six consecutive in Philly and there's little reason to think that won't continue tonight. They'll be missing Antawn Jamison, with Leon Powe getting his first start as a Cavalier. He may be healthy, but he' s still not as athletic as a Jamison. But Powe knows who he is: he's a banger and a rebounder, and coach Mike Brown loves that in his players.
But the key reason they should win this one: LeBron James is back and rested. He's had a week off to recover from a twisted ankle and assorted bumps and bruises. He's averaged 34 points per game against Philly so far this season. But he will need help. He doesn't have Shaquille O'Neal or Jamison or Z, so it's up to Mo Williams. He's had several weeks back on the active roster and with 17 games left in the season as of today, he needs to put up. The Cavs need him to start playing consistent hoops.
From the bench: Anderson Varejao always comes to play, whirling dervish that he is. But it's Delonte West who needs to shine in the area where he's made his name. West has averaged 17 points per in the past five games. They will need that kind of production once again.
Antawn Jamison had follow-up exam and an MRI Tuesday at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health. The result was negative. He will receive treatment and will be listed as day-to-day and his status will be updated as appropriate.
Jamison left Monday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs at 8:02 of the third quarter with stiffness at the back of his left knee and did not return. After the game he said that he experienced the tightness during the first month of the season, but was nothing to worry about.

The Cavaliers will likely be missing the services of LeBron James again against the Spurs. Coach Mike Brown views it as the perfect time to get him some rest considering the number of minutes he's played in recent weeks. James was walking reasonably well Monday, but against the Bucks in the video above, a limp is definitely there. On the other hand, there were some good things seen in Milwaukee once the Cavs got their act together, primarily on defense.
If they are indeed without James, the game playing without him should help them on the offensive side of the court. But they have to get another starter to step up. Antawn Jamison impressed with his performance against the Bucks, but the rest of the starting lineup was M.I.A. They were probably out of sync because of the amount of time James handles the ball.
But the reality is that when James is out, Mo Williams has to show up. In three of his last four games, Williams has scored under 10 points. he may be still be rusty and those back-to-back games where he averaged 20.5 points couldn't have hurt, but he hasn't been nearly as effective since.
Don't be surprised if Delonte West, who had 27 points against the Bucks, comes off the bench looking to score. He played aggressively on the offensive side of the floor Saturday.
Bucks 92, Cavs 85
Take a look at who led the Cavs in scoring tonight and you see a common denominator - both can create their own shot.
Stagnant, super stangnant smelly offense lost the game as Antawn Jamison (30 points, a Cavs high) and Delonte West (27 points, his season high) showed up big in the boxscore. Yes, they were without LeBron James, but when you hold an opponent to 41 percent shooting you should win.
There was little in the way of ball movement and the Cavs didn't give themselves enough space to operate offensively. Jamison was the only one the offensive side of the floor to show up among starters. Ditto West for the bench players.

Cavs: Saquille O'Neal (right thumb surgery); Sebastian Telfair (groin) - OUT. LeBron James will not play due to coach's decision. Officials: Marc Davis, Matt Boland, Scott Wall.
The Bucks have lost six consecutive to the Cavaliers. If they're going to break taht streak, tonight's the night with no LeBron James playing. They could pull it off having won their last three home games. They've been led by John Salmons and Andrew Bogut.
The Cavs will need other players to fill that void. Here's where Mo Williams and Antawn Jamsion have to fill up some of hte scoring hole that James leaves.
J.J. Hickson didn't have a great game agaisnt the Pistons Friday night, he will have to do better against Bogut. Apparently, Hickson had problems boxing out and getting his offensive game going.
The Cavs' comeback from 21 points down was their largest since they rallied from a 25-point deficit against Boston on Nov. 11, 2006. The Cavs won that game, 94-93.
With the Cavs trailing 63-48 with 7:35 left in the third quarter, they went on a 33-10 run to take an 81-73 lead with 8:49 to go in the fourth period.
The Cavs held the Pistons to 15 points in the third quarter and 22 in the fourth and outscored them 53-37 in the second half.
James' 40 point night was the 41st of his career and his eight of the season.
Antawn Jamison is averaging 18.8 points, 9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 steals in the past four games and shooting 50 percent from the field.
Anderson Varejao hit 8 of 10 from the field for 16 points and added 10 rebounds and three assists.
Cleveland has won five in a row against Detroit, three of those at Quicken Loans Arena.
Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey fell ill and may have passed out after he walked off the court for a timeout with 2:30 remaining in the third quarter of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena.
Stuckey, 23, was taken from the bench on a stretcher and transported to the Cleveland Clinic, where he will remain overnight. Stuckey also suffered a dizzy spell last season in a game against the Boston Celtics.
During the fourth quarter, the Cavs announced that Stuckey was conscious and breathing on his own and his vital signs were stable.
The game was delayed 12 minutes for the medical emergency. After the Cavs' 99-92 victory, the two teams huddled at mid-court and prayed together, their arms draped around each other.
''Yesterday at practice ESPN's ''30 for 30'' about Hank Gathers was on,'' Cavs' star LeBron James said of Gathers, a senior at Loyola Marymount who died of sudden cardiac arrest at age 23. ''That was the first thing that came to my mind. I was hoping what wasn't the case.
''We are one family. When something happens to a player in our league, it affects all of us. It was kind of hard to go back to our bench in that instance.''
Pistons coach John Kuester, a former Cavs assistant, said as he was meeting with the coaches during the timeout, he saw Stuckey leaning over with Arnie Kander, the Pistons' strength and conditioning coach.
''Before I knew it, he was on the ground,'' Kuester said. ''I think he is going to be OK. The people at the Cleveland Clinic do a pretty good job.''
Pistons forward Charlie Villanueva said Stuckey passed out on the bench.
''He came over and told Arnie he was feeling a little dizzy,'' Villanueva said. ''He drank some water and the next thing you know, he passed out.''
Asked if Stuckey had been feeling ill the past few days, Villanueva said, ''No, no, this just came out of the blue. No bug, nothing.''
The Pistons led 67-61 at the time, but Cavs coach Mike Brown felt his team had already started its comeback. But Kuester said the Pistons ''wanted to rally for (Stuckey) and play with the same type of intensity that they basically did the entire night. I was very pleased with our effort.''
But the incident affected everyone.
''We tried to get it back as soon as he left,'' Villanueva said. ''But it's tough in that situation because you are definitely thinking about him. We definitely had him on our minds, so it was a tough game for us. I've never witnessed anything like that in my career. It's scary.''
Brown said, ''These guys are big-time athletes and you don't expect anything like that to happen to them because their bodies are like machines. Unfortunately things happen. All you can do is hope and pray for the best and leave it in God's hands and the doctors' hands. Hopefully he'll be OK.''
The Cavs' Antawn Jamison said of Stuckey, ''We compete against each other, but we're all friends. The most important thing is his health. He has a family, friends and he's a good guy as well. I just pray that he has a speedy recovery and that it's nothing serious.''
Of the post-game huddle, Jamison said, ''It shows you the camraderie that we have with one another even though we are on different teams.''
Game: Cavs (48-14) vs. Detroit Pistons (21-40)
Radio: WAKR (1590 AM); WTAM (1100 AM), WHBC (1480 AM)
Cavs: LeBron James (F); Antawn Jamison (F); J.J. Hickson (C); Anthony Parker (G); Mo Williams (G).
Pistons: Tayshaun (F); Jonas Jerebko (F); Jason Maxiell (C); Richard Hamilon (G); Rodney Stuckey (G).
Cavs: Shaquille O'Neal (thumb), Sebastian Telfair (groin) - OUT.
Pistons: Ben Wallace (sore right knee); Chris Wilcox (sore back) - QUESTIONABLE.
Officials: Dick Bavetta, Mark Lindsay, Michael Smith.
This isn't the Pistons team of old, but they won't be pushovers either, despite coming in on a five-game losing streak. Richard ''Rip'' Hamilton (18.7 points) and Rodney Stuckey (17.3 points) are still dangerous at the guard positions and they are playing the Cavs a reason in itself to get up for the game, considering the two teams' history with one another. Despite the fact that their head coach, John Kuester, came from Cleveland (he was also in Detroit previously), there's still bad blood.
But the one position that could prove interesting to watch is at the center - a position where the Cavs are youngest as J.J. Hickson makes his third start. He goes up against Jason Maxiell and is coming off two games where he averages close to 20 points and 11 rebounds per game. Hickson could use his ability to cut to the basket and overall athleticism to have yet another big night.
Cavs 111, Nets 92
Mucho problems with a small thing like an Internet connection. Second time in a week. Joy.
Anyhoo...If anyone watched this game and felt a little underwhelmed - welcome to the club. It was workmanlike and not even close to offering anything spectacular - except a Cavs win.
The Cavs continued to play decent defense as they held the Nets to just 39 percent shooting on the night. The box score will read that Brook Lopez scored 21 points on J.J. Hickson. That is indeed the case, but Lopez will be going to his domicile with more than his share of bruises.
Hickson held his own offensively, but got help defensively as he often found himself looking at multiple bodies on him. Offensively, the Cavs again played efficiently. How efficient? LeBron James got booed for not being stylish enough on two breakaway dunks.
You wonder why they have state tax preparation promotions:
Apologies for being a day late with this, but travel headaches arose yesterday as flights to Newark had to be reworked so I could arrive in time to cover the game.
No real surprises in this week's power rankings from those writers who relish delving into this type of minutae. From ESPN's Marc Stein:
Post mortem: Cavs 124, Knicks 93
Mike Brown has made two great coaching moves - both of which involved second-year man J.J. Hickson. Back in November he decided to start Hickson at the four spot, a move that allowed him to keep bringing Anderson Varejao off the bench for boosts.
Tonight he did the same thing. Starting Hickson in Varejao's place giving the Cavs a faster more athletic look. In the irony of ironies, both moves came against the Knicks. The move gave the Cavs a boost offensively as scored 124 points,but more importantly, they continued to play defense, holding the Knicks to just 41 percent shooting.
LeBron James said it best: the faster lineup made it easier to help one another out on defense as they were able to defend the pick-and-roll more efficiently.
They outscored the Knicks in the paint 66-32 and burned them on the fast break 22-9.
Game: Cavs vs. New York Knicks
TV: FSOhio
Radio: WAKR (1590 AM); WTAM (1100 AM), WHBC (1480 AM)
Cavs: LeBron James (F); Antawn (F); J.J. Hickson (C); Anthony Parker (G); Mo Williams (G).
Knicks: Danilo Gallinari (F); Al Harrington (F); David Lee (C); Tracy McGrady (G); Stergion Rodriguez.
Injured and inactive:
Cavs: Shaquille O'Neal (hand surgery); Sebastian Telfair (groin) - OUT
Knicks: Wilson Chandler (personal reasons) - NWT; Eddy Curry (left knee surgery); J.R. Giddens (left knee surgery) - OUT. Tracy McGrady (sore left knee) - PROBABLE.
Officials: Bob Delaney, Tony Brown and Rodney Mott
Shaq's out and that leaves the Cavs to play faster and more athletic. Against the Knicks that should be very doable because much like the Cavs right now, they don't have a true center in David Lee (20.4 points, 11.5 rebounds). Anderson Varejao stands taller and has the defensive skills to keep Lee from getting ridiculous.
The Cavs will look to take advantage of that speed and athleticism as J.J. Hickson and Leon Powe will get extended playing time.
The Knicks made a blockbuster trade to clear cap...ummm I mean get Tracy McGrady and although he started off for New York playing well, in the past few games that hasn't been the case. He left Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies after the first half because his left knee was bothering him. He didn't return - never a good sign. While all signs point to his playing tonight, you have to wonder just how effective he will be or if he will play at all.
Shaquille O'Neal underwent successful surgery on his right thumb this morning. After a period of rest, he will rehab the injury, and at this point, he is expected to miss eight weeks.
That would be roughly around the second round of the NBA playoffs.
''The doctors were very pleased with the surgery this morning. He will be in a splint for the next 2 weeks. From there he starts the process of physical therapy so that he can be at full strength and back on the court during the playoffs,'' said Cavs General Manager Danny Ferry.
In the meantime, the Cavs will be forced to go with a smaller lineup in O'Neal's absence, with Anderson Varejao starting at center.
''Our guys have done a very good job of stepping up this season. We are confident they will do the same in this situation. Anderson has been terrific. J.J. has been a contributor all season and continues to have solid growth. Leon is returning and will now get a good window to contribute,'' Ferry said. ''We are fortunate to have some depth in our front court that can keep us moving forward while Shaq recovers and returns to play for the post season."
O'Neal is fourth on the team averaging 12 points per game. He is also averaging 6.7 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game, averaging just over 23 minutes a night.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas still hasn't made a decison regarding his future. He is expected to talk to his agent later today. However, the Shaquille O'Neal injury will impact his decision, according to Z's agent, Herb Rudoy.
Why would Z consider a return?
``Based on his loyalty and affection for his teammates,'' Rudoy said.

'Isolated Incident': Capitol Lockdown Is Lifted After Gunfire
UPDATE: Female Driver in Capitol Car Chase Is Dead
(NEWSER) – It's not entirely clear what led to today's bedlam on the streets around Capitol Hill, but the female driver at the center of it is dead, reports AP. Police shot and killed the unidentified woman as she led them on a high-speed chase from the White House toward the Capitol. A child in the car with her was reportedly unharmed. Authorities don't think it was anything related to terrorism, though it did begin near the White House. Witnesses say the woman drove over one set of lowered barricades on Pennsylvania Avenue but then couldn't get past a second set of concrete barriers.
Original article
(NEWSER) – Police have lifted a security lockdown at the US Capitol after gunfire rang out on Capitol Hill this afternoon. Details were still developing, but Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine said it appeared to be an "isolated incident" unrelated to terrorism. Eyewitnesses say that police fired on a black sedan during a chase on Constitution Avenue and that a woman and child were taken into custody, reports Politico. The woman appeared to be seriously wounded by gunfire. Whatever happened started near the White House. CNN says police stopped the Lexus there, or tried to, but the female driver sped off toward the Capitol, setting off the police chase. The AP says the driver had tried to get through a security barricade that keeps vehicles off Pennsylvania Avenue.

Sharks are circling around Hillary
The political world is on tenterhooks waiting for Hillary Clinton, and when there's even a hint of chum in the water, the sharks come circling.
"Clinton's Minyon In A Mess," declared the Republican National Committee. "Another Scandal Emerges From Clinton Land."
Minyon refers to Minyon Moore, a longtime Democratic activist with ties to the Clintons, who also has alleged ties to Washington businessman Jeffrey Thompson, who just ratted out Washington DC Mayor Vincent Gray for allegedly asking him to fund an illegal shadow campaign to help elect Gray.
Is that enough "allegedly" to make your eyes glaze over?
Actually, it's just convoluted enough to set off the first IED (improvised explosive device) on Clinton's long and treacherous path to the Democratic presidential nomination. Rule One: Never let an attack go unanswered. Media Matters watchdog group, "Correct the Record," fired back immediately at The Washington Post, which headlined its story, "Hillary Clinton Adviser Minyon Moore Sought Funds for Illegal Campaign, Court Papers Allege."
The word "illegal" was strongly contested by Correct the Record's Burns Strider, who called it "horse sh—t." The Dewey Square Group, the public affairs firm where Moore works, issued a statement saying Moore "was entirely unaware of any inappropriate activities" and is cooperating with investigators. The public court papers in Thompson's plea agreement say he told federal prosecutors that Moore asked him to underwrite pro-Clinton efforts in four states and Puerto Rico during the '08 primaries for a total of $608,750.
The money was allegedly to fund "street teams" of grassroots people hired to put up signs and pass out literature—what campaigns call "field work." There's no mention in the court papers of illegality, and prosecutors said there was nothing that indicated Clinton was aware of Moore's request. To get a better understanding of the dynamics behind these transactions, I spoke with a Democratic donor familiar with the nexus between money and politics.
"A lot of times in politics, staffers instruct and/or inform donors about ways they can be helpful beyond direct contributions," he says, choosing his words carefully, recalling a time when donors who had maxed out on their federal limits so a candidate could give unlimited funds to state parties; money that could then be funneled back to the candidate—all done with a wink and a nod. "There are many legal and creative ways to help that go beyond direct contribution," he says. What's being reported about Moore's alleged dealings with Thompson are not surprising, or unusual, or illegal.

WATCH: LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian dish on exes in first reality show trailer
Lisen to LeAnn Rimes on iHeartRadio
LeAnn Rimes: one of many unfortunate victims of the trash mag machine. Despite her powerhouse vocals (which the singer demonstrated at last week's CMA Music Festival), the general public has latched onto her (sometimes) questionable behavior–never letting go of that infamous 2009 cheating scandal on the set of Lifetime's Northern Lights. Even though Rimes and her new husband and soap actor Eddie Cibrian have attempted to move on, the wonders of the internet (and the age of trashy reality TV) have not.
In a just-released trailer for VH1′s upcoming "LeAnn & Eddie," the couple sits down to dish about it all, from the struggles of Rimes' country clout to the dealings with certain exes. "We were both married to other people…now who we really are is a couple and in love," Cibrian intros about their budding romance in late 2008. Rimes chimes in, adding, "[we were] trying to figure out how to navigate this family that's highly publicized."
Cibrian later notes that "everyone thinks they know how it is with us." Rimes, "the bloggers, the tabloids…the exes." But don't worry, the dynamic duo plan to share their side of things, because as they say, "there's two sides to every story." Cut to: Lots and lots of Brandi Glanville talk. Juicy!
Last week, during the CMT Awards, Rimes spoke with reporters about the show in further detail. "Eddie and I give each other a lot of crap in our relationship, so that kind of took the forefront of the whole show. So there's a lot of comedy in it. You get a lot of heart. We get into baby stuff and everything we're going through, and at the same time you get into the craziness."
"LeAnn & Eddie" hits our TV screens on VH1, Thursday, July 17 at 10:30 p.m EST. Don't forget to tune in!

WATCH: Cleveland kidnapping victim gives emotional statement during Ariel Castro sentencing

Now, your hell is just beginning." Surprisingly, she also said she "can forgive" Castro, though she "will never forget." But, she said, "I will live on" and "overcome what happened."

Company Sells Pork-Tipped Anti-Muslim Bullets
(NEWSER) – Any old bullet can kill an Islamic terrorist, but is that enough? The people at South Fork Industries in Idaho don't think so, so they've created what they're calling "Jihawg Ammo," bullets coated with paint that has been infused with pork. The airtight logic is that hitting Muslims with the bullets will make them unclean under Islamic law. "With Jihawg Ammo, you don't just kill an Islamist terrorist, you also send him to hell," the company boasted in a press release.

Girls Stopped for Shoplifting Had Fetus in Bag: Cops
(NEWSER) – A security guard on the lookout for shoplifters at a Manhattan Victoria's Secret ended up making the most gruesome of finds yesterday afternoon: what appeared to be a fetus in a plastic bag, police say. The New York Daily News reports that the guard spotted two 17-year-old girls swiping underwear and called police; a strong odor was observed, and the remains were found. Tiona Rodriguez reportedly told police she had had a miscarriage the previous day, but didn't know what to do with the remains; she was hospitalized.

A Few Simple Rules 05/22/2017Sailing Anarchy is a very lightly moderated site. This is by design, to afford a more free atmosphere for discussion. There are plenty of sailing forums you can go to where swearing isn't allowed, confrontation is squelched and, and you can have a moderator finger-wag at you for your attitude. SA tries to avoid that and allow for more adult behavior without moderators editing your posts and whacking knuckles with rulers. We don't have a long list of published "thou shalt nots" either, and this is by design. Too many absolute rules paints us into too many corners. So check the Terms of Service - there IS language there about certain types of behavior that is not permitted. We interpret that lightly and permit a lot of latitude, but we DO reserve the right to take action when something is too extreme to tolerate (too racist, graphic, violent, misogynistic, etc.). Yes, that is subjective, but it allows us discretion. Avoiding a laundry list of rules allows for freedom; don't abuse it. However there ARE a few basic rules that will earn you a suspension, and apparently a brief refresher is in order. 1) Allegations of pedophilia - there is no tolerance for this. So if you make allegations, jokes, innuendo or suggestions about child molestation, child pornography, abuse or inappropriate behavior with minors etc. about someone on this board you will get a time out. This is pretty much automatic; this behavior can have real world effect and is not acceptable. Obviously the subject is not banned when discussion of it is apropos, e.g. talking about an item in the news for instance. But allegations or references directed at or about another poster is verboten. 2) Outing people - providing real world identifiable information about users on the forums who prefer to remain anonymous. Yes, some of us post with our real names - not a problem to use them. However many do NOT, and if you find out someone's name keep it to yourself, first or last. This also goes for other identifying information too - employer information etc. You don't need too many pieces of data to figure out who someone really is these days. Depending on severity you might get anything from a scolding to a suspension - so don't do it. I know it can be confusing sometimes for newcomers, as SA has been around almost twenty years and there are some people that throw their real names around and their current Display Name may not match the name they have out in the public. But if in doubt, you don't want to accidentally out some one so use caution, even if it's a personal friend of yours in real life. 3) Posting While Suspended - If you've earned a timeout (these are fairly rare and hard to get), please observe the suspension. If you create a new account (a "Sock Puppet") and return to the forums to post with it before your suspension is up you WILL get more time added to your original suspension and lose your Socks. This behavior may result a permanent ban, since it shows you have zero respect for the few rules we have and the moderating team that is tasked with supporting them. Check the Terms of Service you agreed to; they apply to the individual agreeing, not the account you created, so don't try to Sea Lawyer us if you get caught. Just don't do it. Those are the three that will almost certainly get you into some trouble. IF YOU SEE SOMEONE DO ONE OF THESE THINGS, please do the following: Refrain from quoting the offending text, it makes the thread cleanup a pain in the rear Press the Report button; it is by far the best way to notify Admins as we will get e-mails. Calling out for Admins in the middle of threads, sending us PM's, etc. - there is no guarantee we will get those in a timely fashion. There are multiple Moderators in multiple time zones around the world, and anyone one of us can handle the Report and all of us will be notified about it. But if you PM one Mod directly and he's off line, the problem will get dealt with much more slowly. Other behaviors that you might want to think twice before doing include: Intentionally disrupting threads and discussions repeatedly. Off topic/content free trolling in threads to disrupt dialog Stalking users around the forums with the intent to disrupt content and discussion Repeated posting of overly graphic or scatological porn content. There are plenty web sites for you to get your freak on, don't do it here. And a brief note to Newbies... No, we will not ban people or censor them for dropping F-bombs on you, using foul language, etc. so please don't report it when one of our members gives you a greeting you may find shocking. We do our best not to censor content here and playing swearword police is not in our job descriptions. Sailing Anarchy is more like a bar than a classroom, so handle it like you would meeting someone a little coarse - don't look for the teacher. Thanks.
