POTD 1/1/12: Jason Thompson On Chris Kaveman

Via Hardcourt Mayhem  |  January 02, 2012
Where there is Chris Kaman and a basketball game, there are posterizations.  It doesn’t even matter who else is involved in the basketball game as the Kaveman is prone to being dunked on by pretty much anyone.  He was once wrecked by a 57-year-old Juwan Howard, and I’m confident that, if given the opportunity, he could find a way to be dunked on in the peewee...

7.5% of the season done, and my laundry isn't horrible

Via Five Tool Tool  |  January 05, 2012
So after a starting 5-game road trip that just seemed designed to drop any continuity momentum into the crapper... my beloved Sixers are 3-2 after spanking the surprising New Orleans Hornets tonight. Of the five games, the only real obvious loss was opening night in Portland, where they made a game of it with some late three-point shooting. They also belched up a game in Utah which...
