Sometimes Off The Dribble just annoys me. This is one of those times (even though I like Mahoney).
There’s a reason I’ve withheld a lot of judgment on the first week of the NBA season. I’m waiting before pouncing on the trends I...

“It’s hard to explain the chemistry that we have,” the veteran forward told Russ Bengtson before last night’s game against the New York Knicks. “I always try to picture words to express the feeling that I have about being here. You know, obviously the rich tradition of championships and all the guys that’ve played in this uniform. It’s definitely an honor and a pleasure to be involved in...

Tim Duncan’s secret is spandex | Blog Archive |... →
Tim Duncan just makes me giggle. Regardless of his 15 foot bank-shot, the man just seems super goofy IRL, and I see him being way more entertaining than he appears on the court.

From The Void: Rahat Huq On LeBron Versus Durant... →
James has now become entrenched as villain and symbol of all evil in our world. But more troubling is a subsequent campaign—a recent development—to right course on the script and account for lost time. Observers now laud Thunder forward Kevin Durant as the selfless savior and the bastion of benevolence, extolling his virtues in an awkwardly forced manner. (Apparently, it was decided that...

Latest on Carmelo Anthony
sportsnetny:
Stop me if you heard this.
Nothing is imminent on the Melo front but the Knicks are by far his first choice. As we’ve said here from day 1, if Melo wants the Nets he’ll be a Net considering that they have more to offer, unless Donnie Walsh can get really creative and find a trade partner or 3rd team.

NBA Turnstile — a new way to talk trash | Blog... →
It’s kind of hard to tell what’s really going on here, but from what I gather this is is some sort of Foursquare/Twitter/basketball mashup that’s going to hook you up for watching the games you’re going to be watching anyway. You get points for going to games or from watching at home, and then those points turn in to free tickets, merchandise and the like. Pretty good deal.

“I’m definitely one of the top 10 guards. It could mean two, it could mean one…”
– Kobe Bryant responding to Michael Jordan’s claim that Kobe is merely “one of the top 10 guards” in NBA history.
These are two of the most competitive individuals to ever lace them up. I just wish we were watching them exchange baskets instead of zingers.

Knicks May Try Rookie Center On First Team -... →
The directives that Coach Mike D’Antoni offered Timofey Mozgov, the Knicks’ rookie center from Russia, are simple, with little room to be lost in translation. “He said run, run, run; if you’re open shoot; and set screens,” Mozgov said of his offensive mandate.
I can’t wait until Shaq starts referring to him as KGB.
