Misreading and righting
Lakers coach Phil Jackson didn’t come down too hard on Andrew Bynum for misreading Jackson’s diagrammed last play in the loss to New Jersey on Sunday night. Jackson said he ran the play “maybe twice last year” and has had only two practices this season where he clarified situational plays…

Open Game Thread # 13: Bulls vs Atlanta Hawks
This is a must-win game for Skiles, you'd have to think. Or hope. There's a case to be made (and Paxson likely thinks this way) that Skiles has enough built-up cred to last the whole season regardless. But losing tonight to the Hawks (who aren't that bad, but still the Hawks) at home would be…

YouTube Tuesday: Never Lose the Pain
One of the most beautiful things about a true Warriors fan is how deeply rooted in modesty they are. Granted, it's not really a choice; 12 years of subpar basketball has left us cynical even in times of success. But even when we do come out and play like an elite team , Warriors fans tend to…

RUMOR: Warriors Trying to Deal Patrick O'Bryant for Hakim Warrick
Check out this interesting tidbit from this week's ESPN Magazine (p. 124): To get Andris Biedrins help inside, the Warriors have looked into stealing Hakim Warrick from Memphis for struggling center Patrick O'Bryant. Good luck with that. Thinking back to the 2005 NBA Draft I was a…

On Antonio’s naked arm
On Wednesday, in his first game back after missing three with a shoulder injury, Antonio McDyess scored 20 points against the Knicks. After the game, he said that he’d probably continue to wear the sleeve for a few more games … but there he was on Friday and Sunday without it. What…

Zeke and Co. visit Detroit
The Knicks have become something of a joke in the media (not that I mind — it certainly makes my FanHouse duties easier), but they get to escape the pressure-cooker that is Madison Square Garden for a quick one-game road trip in Detroit before the holiday. Two schools of thought for this…

DBB t-shirt in the wild, and something to do with Facebook
That’s DBB reader Q Dog, reppin’ Detroit Bad Boys before a game during the Pistons’ recent stop in Portland. Honestly, this is the first time I’ve ever seen a picture of someone else wearing a DBB t-shirt, so I was pretty psyched when he passed this along. Check out his…

Pistons gain even though they lose
The Pistons obviously had a chance to win against both the Lakers and the Kings, but I’m not too torn up about the outcome. Why? As a lot of you pointed out in the game comments, it’s November, the Pistons are short-handed and the bench is seeing action. It’s tough to keep one…

Pistons finish road trip in Sacramento
According to A. Sherrod Blakely, Chauncey Billups will return, but Antonio McDyess will not. You know what that means, right? That means Jason Maxiell will be in the starting lineup for the third straight game. It also likely means a few minutes for Cheikh Samb who has altered the thinking of the…
