I thought both the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Edmonton Eskimos were much improved in Week 6. Jimmy Smith Jersey . First the Ticats - You score 30 points on the road and your offence is improving. It was the highest point total since Week 1 in Toronto when the Ticats scored 34. Running backs C.J. Gable and Chevon Walker were a big part of the offence. You can tell that both guys have all the ability...they need just need opportunity. Walker was a high school superstar and Gable was a USC freshman sensation, but for whatever the reason ended up making their way up here. Last weeks 30-29 win showed their talent and when you include the injured Lindsey Lamar, the Ticats are as deep at running back as the Calgary Stampeders are in quarterbacks. Now Im not sure about the package of plays that Kent Austin has for Dan LeFevour. It did work - and LeFevour gained experience, but it took time away from Henry Burris. Where the big picture is concerned, Henry cant play forever. So its an excellent evaluation - it just feels awkward at the moment. Bakari Grant is starting to emerge as a solid receiver and Greg Ellingson has certainly been a nice surprise. And when Andy Fantuz gets back, Henry Burris will have some serious targets to work with. I continue to admire Mike Reillys work in Edmonton. The physical punishment he absorbed in the first half of the game did not effect the second half of his game. But hes going to have to learn self preservation skills. The two collisions he took running with the ball were shocking and just cant happen again. But once again, Reilly took his team to a single play victory and the next game for the Eskimos is not until the Aug. 18 in Toronto. It will be interesting to see what changes the that Ed Hervey and Kavis Reed make between now and then. In the Bombers-Lions game, all the focus was on Justin Goltz at quarterback for Winnipeg. The Bombers organization and fans have been screaming for a quality durable quarterback and theres been no answer for years. That said, is Justin Goltz the answer? Maybe. On the plus side, he has his great moments - single, successful plays that make you say an enthusiastic YES! But is he going to improve on his short stint thus far or is this as good as it gets? A play here versus a play there will provide the tell-tale signs. With only two games as a starter under his belt, its too early to tell. And with the next game being Aug. 16 against Hamilton, theres no rush to evaulate just yet. On the negitive side, consistent passing is not there yet for Goltz. Too many of his passes were too high, too low or too far to the left and right. Now this is something to improve on, but it sure makes you appreciate the Ricky Rays and Anthony Calvillos of CFL football. Another concern has to be the high percentage of passes completed on the Bomber defence. They went into the game with the last three quarterbacks - Burris, Ray and Bo Levi Mitchell - hitting on 88 per cent. And Travis Lulay hit just about the same number. Not all is bad in Winnipeg now with a much better pass rush and Chad Simpson effective at running back. However, in the passing game thats embodies our league, youre destined to struggle until you master the passing offence and pass defence. For the Lions, something is missing - and its more abstract than tangible. I thought going into this game (after playing so poorly in the Toronto game) that it would be over at half time. But it wasnt and right now this Lions team is not as good as last years squad. One final thought - I will certainly be happy when the bye weeks are over. Players love the break - and I did too - but as a fan, I prefer my four games a week. And I think you do too. Matt Skura Jersey . Its the second straight game Bell has scored in extra time for Kelowna, which beat the Brandon Wheat Kings 6-5 on Friday, and he now has four game-winning goals on the season. Eric Weddle Jersey . Speaking to the Chicago Tribune at baseballs Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Boras called the former home of the Expos a "tremendous environment" for baseball. http:///...-scott-jersey-online . Each of Houstons starters scored in double figures as the Rockets improved to 2-0 against the Spurs this season, with both victories coming on the road.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Andre Drummond bounced back from a couple quiet games, and the Detroit Pistons breezed to another easy victory at home.Drummond had 19 points and 20 rebounds, and Detroit beat the Denver Nuggets 103-86 on Saturday night.

It was 16-2 when the Nuggets called time again, and by the time the first quarter ended, Denver was 5 of 27 from the field and trailed 29-12.I thought in the first quarter, our defense was the best its been all year, and maybe as good as its been since Ive been here, Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy said. We were really on it, and it was making more than one, two efforts on every possession.It was 51-44 at halftime and 77-67 after three, then the Pistons started the fourth quarter with another 10-0 run and the rout was on again.Were only five games in, but theres been a pattern for four straight games where weve gotten down by 15, 18, Denver coach Michael Malone said. It was 20-4 to start the game. Were paid professionals. You have to be ready to play.Marcus Morris and Jon Leuer scored 15 points each for Detroit, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 13.

Its definitely a good milestone, and thanks to my teammates for letting their man get by them.Drummond finished one point short of what would have been his 11th career game with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds.CHANGESMalone was understandably displeased with his teams performance at the beginning of the game, and he indicated the starting lineup would be altered.We were flat everywhere, it wasnt just offensively, Malone said. Our defense was horrendous. They did whatever they wanted. It was the fifth game in a row where our starting group came out asleep, so were not going to have the same starting lineup (Sunday) night.Chandler wasnt about to dispute the coachs reaction.I can understand his frustration, Chandler said.
