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...

The "Chill Out, Juwan Howard" Chronicle, Part 3

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:49:00 -0500

Tracking Juwan Howard's ill-fated stint with the Portland Trailblazers...Chill out, Juwan Howard. You don't have to be in every picture during the minuscule time you're on the court. We get it, you're in the NBA. The constant reminders and "did you see me cutting down the lane" is a little ostentatious. Andre Miller is doing what he can to get you the easiest shot he can and all you can do is hang out by the freethrow line, hoping for a kickout. Pretty wack, bro.Chil...

Nolan Smith Goes The Raymond Felton Route

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:28:41 -0500

Duke guard Nolan Smith will sit the first two games of the regular season for playing in an unsanctioned summer basketball league in Washington, DC. If you recall, UNC lost Raymond Felton for the 2004-05 opener against Santa Clara due to a similar infraction. UNC lost that game. You know what that means? My alma mater UNC Greensboro is totally going to beat Duke on November 13th. Or not.

In the grand scheme this is not a huge deal and I am surprised this does not happen more given the muddled nature of the NCAA rulebook. The question is how well did Nolan Smith play in said summer league. Apparently he was smooth as butter or something:

HOBO guard Nolan “The Escalade” Smith, who will entering his junior year at Duke was the most improved by far. The Escalade was resigned to being primarily a slasher last summer but this year his game is making a major transformation. Smith’s jumper was wetter than a monsoon in India and his crossover dribble was borderline “stupid.” Before the summer is over, some defenders may need knee and hip replacements guarding him.

The Escalade? Really? I have seen Nolan Smith play. Ford Focus? Maybe. Escalade? Not so much.

Question: If Nolan Smith is an Escalade what does that make Ty Lawson considering Lawson did all the things discussed above and then some to Smith and his teammates last season.

Also, I am not an expert but The Escalade does not sound quite right for someone attempting to break into the adult film industry.

Who needs to score 80+ points anyway???

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:39:46 -0500

Not the Bobcats. They scored just 79 points monday night against the Nets, but still managed to walk away with an 11 point win. This game was not pretty to watch ( The Bobcats had a 10 point first quarter... The Nets trumped that with a 7 point third ) but a win is a win is a win. And 2-2 feels a lot better than 1-3. DJ Augustin was large this game with 21 points and 3 steals off the bench. Gerald Wallace was a grown man with 24 points ...

Are the Celtics the Best Team in the NBA?

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 12:36:35 -0500

Boston is off to a great start. Not that it wasn’t expected, but who knew that the Celts would hold the Charlotte Bobcats to a total of 59 points in the C’s home opener. This came right after the Celtics spoiled the Cavaliers season and home opener as well. Then last night the Celtics took down the [...]

Home Opener vs The Knicks 10/30

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:14:52 -0500

The Charlotte Bobcats open things up tonight, what's that? News just in to BCP, the Bobcats already played one game. Who knew? 58 points sounds like a women's college score. Let's just breathe though because this team is capable, what's that? News just in to BCP, Raja Bell and Flip Murray are still out. This is getting scary. The Knicks don't present a tremendously daunting task. They have barely made an off-season move. I think athleticism wins out on the front line, with...

The "Chill Out, Juwan Howard" Chronicles, Volume 2

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:19:00 -0500

Tracking Juwan Howard's ill-fated stint with the Portland Trailblazers...Chill out, Juwan Howard. It's just a preseason game. You don't have to go all Rajon Rondo on Jason Richardson. He didn't even do anything, except beat you to the basket because you're like a thousand years old now. Maybe just let this one slide, considering the game didn't mean anything. Even Jason Richardson is confused. He's like, "sheeeeeeeesh." Chill out, Juwan Howard
