Sonics practice in LA
The team practiced this afternoon at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles before jumping a plane to Sacramento. Seattle coach P.J. Carlesimo seemed to be doing more teaching in practice today -- at least in the 20 to 30 minutes we got to watch. Carlesimo was emphasizing some of the…

Recap: Game #2, Warriors 114, Clippers 120
Is it safe to say that Chris Kaman's contract year wasn't a fluke? With former #1 overall pick mega-bust Michael Olowakandi (1998) still fresh in the memories of many Clippers fans, Kaman gives them reason to relax that they got it right with this first round pick back in 2003. …

The W Column: Counting W's for Week 2
For those of you keeping track at home I'm 1-2 picking Warriors games this season. I knew the Jazz just had the Warriors' number, but I thought it'd be 20,000 on 5 on opening night. And who would've thought the Warriors would lose to the Clips too? Oh well. But since none of you have…

Rodman wants to work in the WNBA
If Lambs can do it, why not The Worm? Rodman wants to be a WNBA head coach. If anything, I suppose he can relate to women (hat-tip: PN) more than most male coaches.

The Hornets beat the Nuggets
Great win for the Hornets yesterday in Denver. Final score was 93-88. That's 3-0 to start the season, which last I checked was pretty damn fantastic.The Hornets started slow, but appeared to be the team in control pretty much all game, though they did get lucky with some calls down the stretch.…

MSM tosses cliches at new media
Chris McCosky doesn’t like bloggers. Or most bloggers. Or something. I’m not touching it (because I already did two years ago and again this past summer), but plenty of other people have.

On prioritizing dental hygiene

Pistons inch past Hawks
Random thoughts from the home opener against the Hawks: Jason Maxiell looked good, huh? 15 points, eight boards and four blocks. The guy was aggressive all night long (he at least two goaltending calls, as well) but managed to stay out of foul trouble with only one called against him. He played 26…

2008 Season Preview: Conclusion
With a tip of the hat to Stephen Colbert (and Tom Ziller), I present my thoughts of the 2008 season divided between the optimist and pessimist in me. Optimist: Ready for a new season to begin? Pessimist: Ready for a new season to end? Optimist: Awww c’mon. You can’t tell me…

2008 Season Preview: The Frontcourt
The Frontcourt This year the New York offense will center around their big men. Last year Eddy Curry shot efficiently, and was a good rebounder on the offensive end. But he struggled to find his teammates when double teamed and turned the ball over too frequently. It’s possible that Curry was…

2008 Season Preview: The Backcourt & Swingmen
The Backcourt Statistically Stephon Marbury still remains above average offensively, but he’s not nearly as productive as he used to be. The Knicks PG still is effective with his incursions to the basket, and at the latter stages of his career he’s become a better shooter. However to…
