Odd happenings at the Palace today
A. Sherrod Blakely has an interesting observation from the Palace today: I’ve been covering this team since 2000, and have been at every one of their season-ending pow-wows just before the players head off to parts unknown, for the summer. But this one was unlike any I had seen before. For…

Flip Saunders has no quarters
The Pistons are the topic of MJD’s always-excellent Debriefing column over at the FanHouse, and he comes up with the best metaphor I’ve seen for Flip Saunders, calling him “a kid in an arcade without a quarter. He was at the machine, he was pressing buttons and moving knobs, but…

Does David Stern Know Where the Warriors Play?
Although I've been very critical of NBA Commissioner David Stern's recent moves and think it's time for him to retire, there's no question that he's a brilliant man who has done many wonderful things for the league during his tenure. Having said that, I have to say I'm pretty disappointed…

Knicks 2007 Report Card (A to Z): Kelvin Cato
KnickerBlogger: Cato played only 95 minutes this year, the fewest in his 10 year career. It’s a shame because his skill set is complementary to that of Curry’s, and Cato could have helped the Knicks in spot duty. Cato is a very good defender, and the Knicks desperately needed help in…

Antonio McDyess: “I’m never going to win”
Like many fans, one of the players I feel for the most right now is Antonio McDyess, especially after reading his comments from after Game 6: “I feel like I’m at the end of my career and it just ain’t gonna happen,” said McDyess, 32, who has a contract option to return.…

Done.
Coming into Game 6, the Pistons were determined not to let LeBron James single-handedly destroy their NBA Finals hopes by allowing him to waltz through the paint all night long completely unscathed. Well, mission accomplished, I guess, albeit in a U.S.S. Lincoln kind of way. LeBron was held to a…
