Also, people are still taking about Christian Eyenga's monster dunk against the Lakers on Wednesday.
View full sizeThe Cavs' Christian Eyenga dunking on the Lakers on Wednesday -- Cavs' dunk of the year? Scott, who will spend part of the five-day break home in Los Angeles and part in Arizona, where Arizona State is retiring his No. 11 jersey, will pick and choose a few things to watch, including Daniel Gibson's participation in the 3-point shootout.
"The All-Star Game itself? I probably won't watch all of it," Scott said. "I'll watch some parts of it. The game is a pick-up game until that last three or four minutes. So I watch, normally, the second half.
"The dunk contest? Nah. I think the biggest part of All-Star Weekend used to be the dunk contest. I think it's lost its luster. The 3-point contest is still, to me, pretty cool. The three-on-three stuff? You've got one real old guy and a girl -- no offense -- and a current player. I'm not interested in that.
"The skills competition I think is kind of cool. You see some of the best point guards in our league demonstrate why they're the best. You've seen Steve Nash win that. It's all about passing, ball handling and things of that nature. But that still doesn't really hold my attention. Maybe the average fan, yeah. But when you're around it every day, that really doesn't get me excited."
Slam jam: Christian Eyenga's monster dunk over Pau Gasol at the end of the third quarter of Wednesday's victory over the Los Angeles Lakers was the play of the night.
"He's tall," the 6-5 Eyenga said of the 7-0 Gasol. "I thought, 'If he's going to block it, he's going to block it.' But I just go hard."
Scott joked afterward: "It's about time. We've been telling him every time he goes to the basket to dunk it. It was a great aggressive play by a young player."
Added Gibson: "We see that wild stuff every day. But to see him actually getting one in the action, I loved every second of it. We're going to have to work on his celebration, though."
Injury updates: Mo Williams played just 3 minutes against the Lakers after tweaking the right ankle he turned early in last Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Antawn Jamison got kicked in the calf at the end of the game, but said he'd be fine. Gibson, still recovering from the strained left quad that limited him to 9 minutes in Sunday's loss to Washington, made just 1 of 6 shots against the Lakers, but said he still planned to take part in the 3-point shootout during All-Star Weekend.
"It's the chance of a lifetime," he said.
Numbers game: Jamison had eight defensive rebounds against the Lakers and now has 5,003 for his career, the 13th active player to have that many. . . . J.J. Hickson registered his fifth straight double double, the longest streak of his career. . . . Ramon Sessions came off the bench to score 32 points, helping the Cavs' reserves to a 44-26 edge over the Lakers' reserves. In the past three games, the Cavs' bench outscored the opponents' by an average of 41-23. . . . The last Cavs reserve to score at least 30 points in a game was Larry Hughes on Dec. 11, 2007, against Indiana. Sessions is the first Cav to have at least 32 points, eight assists and three steals in a game, as well as the first NBA player to have those numbers since Jan. 11, 2006, when Orlando's Jameer Nelson did it.
