Sam Bowie on Greg Oden: ‘I Feel So Bad for the... →
Once Oden’s season went up in flames again, everyone immediately thought back to Sam Bowie. The former Blazers big man empathizes with Greg’s struggle with injuries (and unmet expectations). From The Columbian: “I got the news last week about the injury. I think I felt it more than anyone besides Greg because I can relate to that scenario,’ said Bowie, now 49 and living in Lexington, Ky. ‘I...

Random Thoughts About Miami
josemesaisdead:
I write this not as an anti-LeBron Clevelander, or a pro-LeBron Clevelander, but just as a fan of the game of basketball.
Before the season, I was as big of a believer in Miami as anyone I know personally. Right now, however, the Heat are only 5-4 - which is worse than the “new look” Cavs started each of the past two seasons. In truth, I thought the Heat would roll off about...

The Dream workout has paid off… which again kills me because Pat Ewing is his positional coach, and should have had him hitting these shots before this year. Sad that Ewing is not doing a good job coaching (and getting out coached by his old college...

FreeDarko Presents: The Disciples Of Clyde NBA... →
Anybody that worships the Knicks with the fervor RealKingFish does is someone I gotta share. Scope out his piece as part of the Disciples of Clyde FreeDarko series.
If you don’t know which Clyde he’s talking about I feel very sorry for you since you’ve probably never enjoyed his skills on the court or his ebullience with diction during his MSG announcing career (I think he got...

Michael Wilbon's Defense of Kevin Garnett
hoigaardjudgesit:
Michael Wilbon just said on PTI in defense of Kevin Garnett’s cancer-taunting of Charlie Villanueva, “I’ve known Kevin for 15 years and he’s never said anything bad.”
I want to like you, Wilbon, I do. But every couple of months you say something completely indefensible and outlandish. This fills your November/December quota, apparently. Kevin Garnett never says anything bad...

Oregon election result: Chris Dudley is in overtime in race for governor
Well, at least Chris Dudley doesn’t have to shoot free throws in this one.
The Oregon gubernatorial election between Dudley, a Republican and a Yalie who over one NBA season shot .319 from the free-throw line, and Democrat John Kitzhaber is still too close to call.
Elsewhere in Jock the Vote 2010:

Being Heart Patient Drives Knicks’ Turiaf to Speak... →
They talked about scars and echocardiograms, fishing and boogie boarding and Jack’s smooth 10-foot bank shot.
“Nice form,” Turiaf remarked in his thick French accent. “Quick learner.”
In recent years, there have been dozens of visits like this for Turiaf, a 6-foot-10 center who brings equal amounts of frenetic energy to defense and heart-health awareness. Turiaf becomes agitated about public...
