Via Red's Army  |  November 11, 2009
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline.  Because there's nothing quite as satisfying a good morning dump.“This year it’s every night,” Rondo said yesterday of how frequently he faces opponents in his own mold. “Last year it was a lot, too, but now it’s even more...

The Handwringing Over Jeremy Tyler's Foreign Adventure Has Begun

Via Deadspin  |  November 09, 2009
Jeremy Tyler left high school to play professionally in the Holy Land, where the plan was to do a credible Kevin Garnett impression and expose the folly of the minimum-age rule. The plan was not to play like Oliver Miller. Alas, as The New York Times' Pete Thamel reports, after just three months in Haifa, Israel, Tyler is being turned into your standard American basketball bogeyman...

RATING THE #1 OVERALL PICKS IN THE 1990s NBA DRAFTS

Via The Sportz Assassin  |  November 09, 2009
The NBA Draft in the 1990s was a time of change. In the 80s, we saw people leaving college after their junior years. In the 1990s, players were starting to leave after their sophomore years. Then, in 1995, Kevin Garnett pushed the envelope into the first high school player in two decades to declare for the draft. Since that moment, the draft hasn't been the same. But, we...

Random Thoughts on a Fun Win Over the Jazz

Via Celtics Green ...a boston celtics blog.  |  November 12, 2009
This was a very fun game to watch. For one thing, the Celtics were clicking on all cylinders and it's fun to watch when they play like that. KG looks better with every game. Shelden Williams is settling into his role very nicely as is Marquis Daniels. Hearing Paul Pierce before the game saying that a lot of the credit for the Celtics' play goes to Perk because he is the...

Via Dime  |  November 10, 2009
Stephen Jackson is quickly becoming this year’s Rasheed Wallace. In years past we could always count on ‘Sheed to give us a great sound bite or share his true feelings about a player, referee or coach.

NBA FINALS: Spurs v Pistons

                            SUBSTANCE OVER STYLE. If it happened the other way....the Miami-Phoenix Finals would be....well, hot. The headlines would have read "Heat-Suns Series To Be Scorcher!".

DETROIT, WHERE FOR ART THOU?

Via The Sportz Assassin  |  November 09, 2009
The Detroit Pistons are getting smacked in the NBA FInals.  Only once in playoff history, has a team come back from this kind of beating to win a series [in 1995, the Rockets lost the first two games to the Suns by a combined 47 points].  Nothing is going right.  They can't score [they are averaging 72.5 ppg]...nor can they stop San Antonio from scoring [90.1 ppg]. But why? ...
