LeBron, on tonight's rematch with the Celtics: "I can't say [Friday] is a just another game; I'd be lying." J.R.R. Tolkien continues: "The veiling shadow that glowers in the East takes shape. Sauron will suffer no rival. From the summit of Barad-dur his...

Matt told me to say this: "Matt wanted me to show you this. It's from Jason Gurney. It is incredible. Happy trails." I'd like to add that cherry Fun Dip is the best kind of Fun Dip. And, oh yeah, about LeBron? Wowsers.

(But this time, with no reference to Artest) Moore and I were talking this morning about players who continue to plague current and former teams, just by their own existence. Darius Miles and the Portland fiasco comes to mind. The fact that the preseason games he participated in are allowed to ...

Getting an early start on the 15 today... cause I gave up slacking for New Year's. If you aren't watching the BCS National Championship game like every other sports fan in America (including Moore and myself - since we have money on it. psst... don't tell Paroxi-wife),...

Remember when Robert Horry said he was smarter than 98% of the NBA? Given the propensity of basketball players to get arrested lately, joining up with a website that provides legal services seems pretty prudent. Robert Horry wins again. He always does.

If there was ever a time to discuss Marbury to Boston, it would be now. Or maybe that's just what they want you to think. Who are they? Hell if I know. But I'm sure it's what they want. Either way, the rumors just won't die, and it seems as though the Celtics might...

There are certain actions that just aren't appropriate around holidays. Call it ancient custom, arbitrary tradition, or common decency. You don't break up with someone around Valentine's Day. And for gossake you don't fire someone on Christmas. Instead, you wait a week...

But Home is Where the Heart Is, So Your Real Home's In Your Chest (Sacramento at New Jersey): This song does not mean that Vince Carter has a heart. Or a soul for that matter. But the Nets are a lowly 6-12 at home, despite the fact that they're hovering around .500. Yuck....

I only hope that our boy Antoine was, ahem, "pulling a Chuck" when this happened. Not sitting around, trying to figure out what to do with all the free time on his hands. Yeah, the same free time he's had for about 4 seasons. On the other hand, old dude was out til near...

19 minutes and 41 seconds. That is the length of time I just saw J.J. Redick play professional basketball. Is that a world record? I don't think anyone has seen Redick play basketball in years, much less actually have enough time on the floor to get off 4 3-pointers (and only...

Okay, I'm done. I've never been good at keeping secrets. I just have to get this off my chest, and I figured this is the best way to do it. You knew that Matt Moore was taking a little "vacation" away from the blog. Something to do with a real-life relocation or something...

6 guys on the court for Portland = referee EPIC FAIL. And in a five point game, too. Not that the Celtics need any help with defending themselves, but sheesh. To answer your potential questions: yes the play ran without a whistle, and yes, the Blazers scored. (Hat tip for the picture...

He's baaaaaaaaaaack. Hope you're ready to sex him. This acquisition is ridiculous for the Rockets. They already have too much depth at center, their frontline is monstrously tall, and Yao is a sure thing in terms of durability. They don't need help off the bench guarding...

Don't Stand On The Quisy When The Hawks Are Comin' Through (Hawks at Pacers): Is Danny Granger crazy? Probably a little. He's certainly crazy about the Hawks. He lit them up for 34 when last they met, including shooting 72% from the field and um, well, lighting the building...

Notes from the Denver Nuggets at Atlanta Hawks, December 29th, 2008. Is Marvin Williams human or is he dancer? The most frustrating of all the Hawks young guns is arguably the most important improvement on this Hawks squad. Bibby's simply living up to his perceived potential, Johnson...
