My initial reaction to the Tyrus injury in terms of how it would effect this team this season (the Org.-fail aspects of it have been repeated enough) is that Vinn...

This Week In San Antonio Spurs Basketball: Late Saturday Edition

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:36:29 -0500

Okay, so this one's late. We had a SEGABABA going into the weekend so this was moved to avoid distraction, and again to provide an avenue for us to drown our sorrows with each loss. Still, lots of good links and music, with a special contribution by our resident Fish Man, Hipuks, after the jump. Mood Music How about putting something that Tony Parker will be pleased about? Here's from a French music duo who call themselves Air. This is just all i...

RUMOR: Charlotte Bobcats (+ Cleveland Cavaliers and Denver Nuggets) Interested in Stephen Jackson- Boris Diaw anyone?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:48:18 -0500

I thought R Dizzle's joke and entire recap from earlier today was pretty hilarious, so let me hit the rewind button for this Stephen Jackson tidbit: YESSSSSSS - no one likes me. Say YESSSSSSS to trade rumors and make the jump! Marc Stein writes on ESPN True Hoop Don't forget Bobcats in Stephen Jackson sweepstakes (read that again- "Stephen Jackson sweepstakes"... hilarious): It's been about a week since we had any certifiable ch...

Ten Undervalued Stars in Fantasy Hoops

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:34:33 -0500

by Tom LorenzoFiled under: NBA Draft Advice, NBA Value Machine, Fantasy BasketballThe NBA referees seem to be on their way back to work, according to Howard Beck of The New York Times. What a perfect way to open up a post about those who are undervalued. This is not only good news for Dwight Howard and Mike Dunleavy, but it's also fantastic news for NBA fans in general. No disrespect to the replacement refs, but you don't want a pediatrician performing heart surgery. All order has bee...

The NBA’s 30 best go-to players (#29: Boris Diaw)

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 07:00:28 -0500

Every NBA team has a go-to guy, and there’s really only room for one. It’s not about who always gets to take the last-second shot. More realistically, it’s the guy who regularly gets the ball when things are getting tense in the fourth quarter; it’s the guy who is expected to calm things down when [...]

Honestly, You shouldn?t miss Boris Diaw

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 18:16:27 -0500

With the Charlotte Bobcats in town, fans? thoughts have turned to former Sun Boris Diaw. Thoughts such as ?if Porter was never hired would Diaw still be here?? and ?if only Diaw were still a Sun, we?d have a power forward to fill in for Amare.? permeate the collective conscious of Suns fans. ...

Lottery Bound?

Sat, 24 Jan 2009 21:56:06 -0500

It makes me sad to say this: the Suns have become unwatchable. It really seems like players are lost or they quit. The lack of intensity is so obvious that other teams' announcers are troubleshooting the Suns. Amare ends up starting the All Star Game and celebrates by getting torched by Boris ...

Top Five Suns Benchwarmers of All time…

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:03:06 -0500

I began writing a post about Boris Diaw and his mysterious ability to turn it on and off, with a primary focus on the switch being cemented in the off position this year. The title was "Strange Case of Boris and Doris." For all you literature majors out there, you'll recognize my clever nod to Stevenson's "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde." Not all that funny, I know.

What was Boris Diaw thinking?

This one has been stuck in my inbox for the past week, but it was too good to not post. The first comment, however says it all:
