Nowitzki, Miller banged up after Game 1 of the Finals<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nA rough-and-tumble Game 1 of the NBA Finals left players on both the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat reeling. Dirk Nowitzki tore a tendon in his finger while trying to strip Chris Bosh and said he \u201ccouldn\u2019t straighten [his] finger out\u201d afterwards. He\u2019ll have to wear a splint for the rest of the playoffs.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt won\u2019t affect him,\u201d Miami\u2019s LeBron James said. \u201cHe\u2019s still going to be great. He\u2019s still going to be Dirk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Is it just me or is Mike Miller injured in a new, creative way every day? He already battled through injuries to his shoulder, both thumbs, a knee, and his head (concussion) this season. He\u2019d been wearing a protective sleeve over his left shoulder but appeared to aggravate it last night. His arm went limp during a few possessions in Game 1 and he left AmericanAirlines Arena in a sling.<\/p>\n
New Golden State Warriors special advisor Jerry West has already hinted that Monta Ellis could be traded. He recently suggested to the San Jose Mercury News, <\/em>\u201cWhen I look at [the team], obviously they need more size. I\u2019ve seen teams trade players that score tons of points and people say, \u2018How in the world can you trade that player?\u2019 Because he might score tons of points and the team doesn\u2019t win.\u201d<\/p>\nThe Houston Rockets have their new head coach. It was rumored over the last week and now it\u2019s a reality: Kevin McHale took the job. The former TNT analyst has a 39-55 career record in interim coaching duty.<\/p>\n
MLB news: Kurt Suzuki instructed to avoid home-plate collisions; chemotherapy for Gary Carter; Soriano hits DL<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey\u2019s season ended on a collision at home plate, the Oakland Athletics are changing how they think about plays at home. General manager Billy Beane has instructed catcher Kurt Suzuki to avoid collisions.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said to him, \u2018I don\u2019t want you planting yourself in front of the plate waiting to get creamed. You\u2019re an Athletic catcher \u2013 be athletic,\u201d Beane said. \u201cI don\u2019t subscribe to the theory that you should be a crash-test dummy,\u201d Beane said he also told Suzuki. \u201cI don\u2019t want to lose you for six months.\u201d ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/banners.affiliatelions.com\/marketing\/getimage\/1445\/408\/\")
