Idle coaching hands are the lineup devil's tools
The Sun-Times reported Tuesday afternoon (hattip to 'Big D' in the comments) that Skiles is considering starting Joe Smith ahead of Tyrus Thomas (who else would it be?). Quote the Skiles: I've got to consider even starting Joe, getting him out there with as many busted coverages as we're…

Bryant calls P.J. extension “great”
LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant is becoming really good at expressing some opinions while not expressing others (with the others often being the ones everyone is dying to hear). Here’s a fresh take from Bryant — limited as it is — now that Phil Jackson has agreed to his contract…

YouTube Tuesday: A Diamond Still Rough
MIP to MVP? Nope! Not quite yet. Despite a great overall performance, it's clear that Monta still has a little bit of growing to do. Out overtime last night was most revealing in that without Baron, there was a lot of nervousness in our remaining ball handlers. It was a scary glimpse into what…

Pistons and Hawks are playing early
I’m late with the preview post because, well, the game is earlier than I thought — I must have the usual 7:30pm start time hard-wired into my brain. In any case, the Pistons lead late in the first in Atlanta. The first time they played, the Pistons won 92-91 in the Palace home opener…

Jason Maxiell gets no respect
For some reason I find this whole “keep Jason Maxiell humble” act by the veterans pretty hilarious. When they’re not throwing basketballs at him when he’s trying to give an interview, they’re throwing barbs when they’re giving an interview. Here’s Lindsey…

The other owner’s son named Jim
I asked someone who knows the Knicks pretty well to rank Stephon Marbury, Isiah Thomas and Jim Dolan 1-to-3 in leadership qualities. His response: “It’s a trick question. They’re all zeros.” Ah, nothing like the negativity that surrounds the Knicks … and with good…

RECAP: Warriors 117, Magic 123 - A Wise Man Once Said, "D'oh."
Man. As a proud resident of Warriors Nation I can say that I've experienced all kinds of losses. I've seen the "never even close to winning" games (more than my fair share, I'd like to say), the "blown lead" games, and let's not forget our classic, "losing at a buzzer beater" game. Tonight's…

Site issues …
So yeah, DBB looks a little funny right now, huh? I had to upgrade some things, and of course, upgrading rarely goes without a few hiccups. Hopefully things will be back to normal by morning, though.

Prentice speaks out on arena issue

Bulls fall behind, stay behind, lose
Fits better than the alternative 'furious rally' recap theme, I think. When 4 of your starters are terrible, and the 5th doesn't get going until down double-digits in the final quarter (that's right, a Kirk Hinrich sighting), you're going to lose. Ben Wallace played the entire game and had 8…
