We forgot to ask at Warriors Media Day 2k7...
By now I'm sure you peeped all of the blowout GSoM coverage of Media Day the Warriors held this past Monday. Our man Fantasy Junkie was in attendance at the event to talk shop with the players right before they made the trek out to Hawaii for Training Camp and the two preseason games…

Weekend open thread
I stumbled upon this classic footage last night. Nothing special, just a random regular season game (April 3, 1988) that someone decided to record. The Bad Boys lost the game 112-110, but hey, they’re winning at the end of this specific clip, so it’s as good of a placeholder for a…

Observations from day 4
The Sonics had a light practice this morning with head coach P.J. Carlesimo again mostly focusing on basic drill work like how the team will defend simple offensive plays like pick and roll, down screens, cross screens and screen the screener. The team also went through zone rotations…

$11.6M Part III: Why this Means the Knicks Will Continue to Stink
If you haven’t check out Part I and Part II. In Part II I made a case for how the Anucha Brown Sauders verdict (as well as the handling of Don Chaney’s dismissal) illustrates a fatal flaw–contempt–in Thomas’ decision making style. My point is simply that contempt (a…

Saying goodbye to the inept trio and other positives
[Another great Diary from sbulls9030. The main point is something very few prognosticators have noticed: Even without acquiring a 'low-post scorer', the Bulls' acquisitions should improve the offense from their frontcourt. -Matt] One thing that is clear from NBA history is that teams with really…

Don't count New Orleans out
Great job by the Hornets on that "Don't count New Orleans out" thingy over at The Official. There's four fantastic videos that just have me itching to get back there myself. Word on the HR boards is that the Hornets "are sending emails to 500 top executives at FORTUNE 500…

Pistons open practice notes
The Pistons held their annual open practice at Oakland University last night, and while I wasn’t able to attend, I thought I’d draw your attention to DBB reader Diablo, who posted his thoughts in the comments of another post: Anyways, I thought the practice was interesting, wasn’t too…

2K7 Warriors Media Day: The Interviews (Part 3 - Boom and Beans)
GSoM Warriors Media Day coverage wouldn't be complete without covering interviews of Stephen Jackson, Baron Davis, and Andris Biedrins. Surprisingly, the audio I recorded with my digital audio recorder happened to pick up their voices well. So this time, instead of me giving my take on the…
