Not Walt Frazier
I know only a few of you are on Twitter, so I thought I would point out my new favorite, @notWaltFrazier. Today's favorite:I'm taking this #CP3 news with hesitation until I see him in #Clippers nation. Too much anonymous sourcin' and trade divorcin'!Funny stuff all around, definitely worth a look.

Thanks Lockout Professionals!
The Minnesota Lynx swept the Atlanta Dream in the WNBA championship, providing some of the best basketball I've seen in Minnesota in a long, long time.They took what the defense gave them, and usually ended up finding the best available shot -- and if the defense closed in -- find another open player for an easy layup. And they played great defense too, shutting down and outrebounding...

Pip
Three funny things...1. Heard on sports radio - "the other morning I woke up to Scottie Pippen saying LBJ was the best ever. I knew someone was delirious. It might have been me. I also might have been Scottie Pippen."2. Kareem's letter to Scottie on the matter. You know you are in trouble when the letter starts: "I have nothing but respect for you my friend......

Your Chance for a Championship Ring
To kick of the NBA championship week, I thought you might like to know about a chance to win a trip to the NBA Finals -- and your own championship ring and belt. Just like Chauncey, Rip and Sheed.Wolves center Darko Milicic and his wife are holding a raffle for his 2004 NBA championship ring -- and NBA finals game trip -- to raise money for the Zorana & Darko Milicic fund for...

Learning
They say its not a series until someone loses at home. I guess we've got a series.Thibodeau (did his ancestors steal a vowel or two from the Hyry's?) is so good at figuring out other teams. Throughout the season, the Bulls would struggle in the first half of a game, go to the locker room where Thibs would make some adjustments for the second half win. So far, this took a...

Dallas Shots Keep Falling - Lakers Gone Fishin'
I was listening to a Laker game two nights before the end of the regular season, and something about Mychal Thompson's tone, and what he was seeing and describing made me think - "these guys aren't gonna make it this year. The thrill is gone."Then New Orleans steps in and beats them a couple games, and I started dreading how the Lake Show might warm up, dig deep...

Z-Bo
I will confess, I was never really a Zach fan. I hate to admit this, but I think I bought into the hate - he seemed like a numbers guy and kind of an idiot - the strip club stuff, the guns, whatever. When he was on the Knicks and the Clippers he just looked horrible defensively and not a particularly good teammate offensively. When Chris Wallace traded for him I just thought it...

Whence comes this truthiness?
Chris Dudley has done wonderful work on behalf of diabetes related charities for years. Not a surprise that he would be included in the commercial running during the playoffs. What is a surprise is that when Dudley's face is on the screen, the text reads:Chris DudleyNBA Legend

Moonball Victory - Nothing But Nets!
"Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers."-Jules Winnfield, Pulp FictionI think you've had a taste...

Kings to Orange County Equals Less Travel for the Lakers
Sure, there are other reasons not to like the all-but-final decision for the Maloof Bros to move Sacramento's dearly beloved Kings south to the O.C.. But what I think is totally ridiculous is that the Lakers have in effect 4 less games for which they need not board a plane than every other team in the League--L.A. already gains the 2 extra home games via 'sharing' the...

Kobe is Hate
Had a wonderful time watching Portland deliver L.A.’s fourth straight loss, this one much more a thumping than the final score would indicate. The Blazers were great. On the second night of a back to back, with no Marcus Camby to help LaMarcus battle L.A.’s League-best frontline, Portland pulled a surprise shift and strategy, running at every opportunity. The Blazers had 20...

1ST PLACE BULLS!
Bulls host the Celtics tonight with a 3 game lead in the Eastern Conference race to the Playoffs. At the Allstar Break I dared to dream we might come into this game in a tie with Boston and be able to step ahead. The first two rounds of the playoffs still need to be won but the prospect of a path to the Finals that includes only one series against Miami/Boston is delicious. Hopefully...

Kevin is Love
This week I'll be at three Wolves games - Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Two in a week is usually a lot, and by halftime of the second one, I'm usually ready to go home. Misery loves company, so I thought I'd take you along for the ride! And despite the ugliness of Wednesday Wolves vs. Pacers, it was fun and I'm ready for one more tonight.There was a little more...

Smoldering heap
Maybe part of why Miami is struggling is because neither the stars nor the coaching staff has done much to build the confidence of the supporting cast. Tis a team game after all.

Among other things
the trade deadline could prove to be a referendum on whether Devin Harris has what it takes to run a winning team. Sure, he had big success in Big D, but the Mavs are clearly better with the diminishing yet dominant Jason Kidd. Harris sucked in New Jersey in a way that has nothing and everything to do with stats. Now in Utah, with a more than adequate supporting caste, Harris has...

Losing a family member
KG's words for Perk's departure. Rondo was speechless. Basketball is about people. Perk was people for the team in green. Now he is gone.There is the distinct possibility that Boston will miss Perk if Shaq is hurt during the playoffs. But if Shaq is on the court, Boston is running this thing. I basically trust Danny, and he cleared those rosters spots for a reason. I expect...

Bout to Get Melo in NYC
I really like this trade for the Knicks. NBA is a star's League. Sure, Melo's game has it flaws. But he is a winner. Stone-cold. In the ultra tough West, he made Denver a perennial playoff team the day he donned a uniform. How many players do that? Though he only got out of the first round once, him, Amare, an aging Billups and the bad-ass rookie Fields tell me NYC...
