was rik smits worse y/n

I feel like the worst rebounder I've ever seen is Maurice Taylor but Bargs is pushing it

i gotta say that listening to the lakers announcer excitedly call wide open three point shots is giving me a lot of joy

"DUHON FOR THREE...." *1.5 seconds of dead silence*

"M... W... P...." *artest somehow shoots a three off the underside of the rim*

haha

hah that play the lakers just ran where dwight slo mo pushed kobes man off the 3pt line while pretending to just be walking to his spot then kobe hit the three

one bizarre thing about kobe is that he's always blogging his thoughts on facebook. does any other athlete do that?

ha u r not joking

Over the off season I took a walk down skid row. It was life changing for me and I want to share those experiences with you. Please take a look and tell me what you think: http://bit.ly/T0VL51

Tough day. I've seen coaches as well as friends come and go. No matter how many years I've been playing, it's still hard to deal with. I had a good relationship with Mike and I will continue to have one. I wish him and his family nothing but the best. I spoke with him today and thanked him for all of his hard work and sacrifice.

As a team, we must focus our energy on tonight's game. We must block out the weight of today's news and simply do our jobs to the best of our ability.

I'm not sure what direction we are heading in next. All I can do is focus on the here and now.
Mamba out

ps i personally fired mike brown mamba out

rofl

god, world peace is so garbage

lol the lakers keep running this same play where kobe & dwight feign a pick and roll and kobe throws a cross court pass to MWP (who the spurs aren't covering) who then dumps the ball into jordan hill (who the spurs are not guarding) & then chaos ensues

this game hasn't felt awful & yet no team has 80 points with 3 mins left in the game?

Isaiah Austin has the slightest frame I've ever seen. I was for real scared his legs would snap in 2 at any moment.

Sam (Boston)

Is there any statistical validity to the notion that some players are more injury prone than others? Or is this just a commonly misguided opinion?
John Hollinger (3:01 PM)

There is some validity to it, but the correlation isn't nearly as high as a lot of people suspect. Unless there's a real, known defect, I wouldn't worry too much about past injury history as a predictor of future problems.
John Hollinger (3:01 PM)

Exception: Greg Oden.

YEAH AFLAC!

Haha wtf. So good to have Sheed back again, gottasay.

Ball don't-

AFLAC AFAIK

wolves beat writer was twittering that the wolves might be kicking the tires on josh howard because they are so decimated by injuries

"I get scared of a lot of attention," Lin says. "I get scared of the spotlight. And I'm not talking about on the basketball court. So I was just in shock when everything happened. I was startled about it all. I just thought, 'Oh man, I wish some of this stuff could slow down.'

"Over time, I became more and more used to do it. I became more savvy about it, able to get a better perspective about it. I was able to open up more.

"Now, I'm at the point where if I meet somebody, I look at their reaction: If it's over the top, that's a huge red flag. … I won't let any of my friends become a fan. To me, you're either a friend or you're a fan. That doesn't mean my friends can't support me, because they all do, but they can't treat me differently than they would treat someone else. None of my friends are in awe of me."

When Lin agreed to that offer sheet with the Rockets, neither he nor the organization ever believed it wouldn't be matched. New York encouraged him to get it, and he did. "I signed it, and I thought I was going back to New York," he says.

Paul Millsap is 8-12 on threes this season. Most he's ever made in a season is 9.
