Recognize #9… the guy barely caressing LeBron's elbow in Team USA's 114-82 blowout win over Turkey? It's our guy…. #86 in your program… but #1 in our hearts…. SEMIH ERDEN!! Nice D Semih.  Why don't you work on that a little, huh? [...]

The Houston Rockets must be sooooooo thrilled they traded for Ron Artest.  Today's episode starts with Yao Ming reacting to the trade thusly: "Hopefully, he's not fighting anymore and going after a guy in the stands" Ok.  Not exactly the best opening line.  Luckily… Ron took it all in stride.  Oh wait: "I understand what [...]

Yea…. you know the words. Michael Jordan… you know… the guy Kobe desperately wants to be like… ALSO has a message for one Mr. Kobe Bean Bryant. "Not even a contest" My message to Kobe:  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!  Look Kobe… you're never… EVER going to be MJ.  You're never going [...]

I've said it before… and I'll say it again.  The United States' decline in the world of basketball… despite having superior athletes and coaches… is a problem of its own making.  We let our most talented kids flounder in a system dominated by shoe companies and agents.  Camps and tournaments like this, where kids play 100 games [...]

(NSFW Lyrics) We've dealt with Hawks fans… Cavs fans… and Pistons fans.  They all had the good sense to go away after the Celtics beat them in the playoffs.  But not Lakers fans.  They, for some reason, seem to think games 7, 8, and 9 still have to be played.  Hey LA fans:  You lost.  [...]

Crazy Ron-Ron is taking his act to the Houston Rockets. The Kings agreed to trade away their volatile yet talented swingman for Donte Greene (the 28th pick in this year's draft), Bobby Jackson and a first round pick in 2009. Wait, there must be more. Nope. This ranks right up there with the Pau Gasol [...]

Disgraced NBA referee Tim Donaghy was sentenced to 15 months in prison Tuesday after pleading guilty last year to taking thousands of dollars in payoffs from a professional gambler for inside betting tips. The sentencing of Donaghy closes a chapter in a scandal that convulsed the NBA, which has angrily denied Donaghy's claim that corruption [...]

Paul Pierce was in Spain for the past few days and everyone's buzzing about what he said over there.  I think it's a big pile of nothing… but since there seems to be some reaction to it… here it is. First… a bunch of Spurs fans are all hot and bothered by this. Q: Is [...]

The Detroit Pistons – the Celtics number one threat in the Eastern conference – have signed Kwame Brown to a 2-year, $8 million deal. The good folks at Hoopsworld think this is a bargain for the Pistons. But when you compare this signing to the 2-year, $3 million deal the Celtics gave Patrick O'Bryant, you realize the Pistons are pissing away $5 [...]

They say you learn something new every day.  Today I learned that laptops don't like wine being dumped on them.  Who knew? So while we deal with that… here are a few links to tide you over.  Sorry.  On the bright side, at least it didn't happen in the 3rd quarter of game 6. WhatifSports [...]
