“All the best” from Phil
Had occasion to observe just how many autographs Phil Jackson is asked to sign — and will comply to sign — during dinner Wednesday night in Cleveland. If it’s this hard to get through a dinner in Cleveland, think about what it’s like in some other cities. Anyway, Jackson was…

RECAP: Warriors 111, Timberwolves 98 - What Did Nellie Say at Halftime?
Final Boxscore Phew. Breathe. Who would have thought the Warriors would be down 14 to the worst team in the league and be trailing by 8 at the half? Not me. A loss tonight would have been downright embarrassing and it nearly happened. In his post-game interview, Al Harrington put it best: …

Pistons renew Celtics rivalry
The Pistons had the bad rap, but the Celtics were no angels, either. Can anyone honestly justify that Robert Parish takedown on Laimbeer without using the words “he had it coming to him”? In any case, tonight’s game tips at 7pm on ESPN — leave your thoughts in the…

Mad Ants happenings
Minor news, but interesting to me: Jeremy Richardson, the leading scorer for the Ft. Wayne Mad Ants (Pistons D-League affiliate), was recalled by the Memphis Grizzlies, who face the Pistons on Friday. Richardson had been averaging 28.5 points per game. (more…)

Q&A: Aran Smith of NBADraft.net on Marco Belinelli
Aran Smith of NBADraft.net already shared his thoughts with the GSoM community on Warrior rookie forward Brandan Wright. Up next is the man the Warriors took with the 18th pick in this past draft Marco Belinelli. With all the summer league hype, the offseason praise from Nellie, and…

Rodney Stuckey (finally) cleared for practice
From Pistons.com: Stuckey, who wowed NBA personnel folks with a dynamic turn at the Las Vegas Summer League, broke his left hand in the Pistons’ final preseason game on Oct. 24 and was initially expected to miss six weeks. But the multiple fractures to three fingers still hadn’t fully calcified…

Tyson Chandler is as Long as a Summer Day
Yeah, the Sonic's announcers said that last night. Brings to mind fluffy bunnies, green meadows, and open skies, not Tyson slamming home three alley-oop jams in a five minute stretch or out-rebounding the three Sonics Big Men(16 total rebounds) by himself(17…

DBB on CelticsBlog
Jeff from CelticsBlog asked me to take part in a Q&A to prepare for tonight’s game: I’m taking a little different take on this Q&A format with Matt Watson from Detroit Bad Boys because he’s been following a contending team for years now and he knows the ropes. I think I…

The last time the Pistons faced Garnett …
January 19th, 2007: My post on FanHouse: This is where it gets interesting, right? No, this is where it fizzles out. McDyess started advancing toward KG, who actually threw a punch, but by that point KG was backpedaling so much he either missed or barely grazed McDyess’ chest. Words were…

Flip Saunders on Kevin Garnett
From Chris McCosky’s blog: Saunders talked a lot about Garnett after practice today. He called him the most versatile player ever to play the game, and it’s hard to argue the point. Saunders told the story about giving Garnett his first NBA start. It, ironically, was in Boston late in…

Bill Simmons’ trade value column
Bill Simmons posted his annual trade value column today. Agree or disagree, it’s a fun read. (Spoiler: Rip is unranked, Tay is 44th, Rasheed is 37th and Chauncey is 26th.)

On Nazr’s opportunity
HOOPSWORLD’s Bill Ingram on Nazr Mohammed: “If he can’t get minutes with a team that’s as hard up for front court contributions as the Bobcats are, he’s likely to become one of those guys who plays 5 minutes a night and talks about the good old days and what might have…

Nazr’s first Charlotte start
Nazr Mohammed made his first start for the Bobcats, and it was a good one: 17 points (7-13 shooting), eight rebounds and three blocks in a win over the Jazz. His scoring was likely boosted by an off night by Emeka Okafor, but I’m guessing Nazr ends up working out well for the Bobcats.

All Samb wants for Christmas is his two front teeth
This was posted in the comments a couple of days ago (thanks, LanierFan), but I wanted to get it up here for everyone who missed it: although Cheikh Samb looked good in his first two games with the Mad Ants, he won’t be playing again any time soon. From the Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel: Seconds…

Pistons teach Celtics how to close out a game
That’s Chauncey going to work in the fourth quarter. I almost wish this wasn’t just a highlight reel, though, because Billups’ out-of-nowhere turnover with 5.1 seconds left makes those last two free throws taste all the better. (What do game-winning free throws taste like?…

Opting Out of the All-Star Game
The first All-Star votes are in and the Warriors are dead last. I couldn't be happier. The NBA regularly salutes Warriors' fans as the league's finest. A large part of the reason why is because we understand what's important in the game. We cheer louder for court burns than…

One day, you'll be telling your grandchildren about 'The Aaron Gray Game'
Well, the Bulls broadcasting crew will, anyway. Especially Tom Dore, who likely saw the NBA player most resembling what Tom Dore the NBA player would've been. So, great. Grayte, even. We now have a couple of wins in our pocket every season: the Aaron Gray low-post presence game joining the…

Might As Well Get This Out While The David Lee Lovefest Continues
For the people that think Lee can’t survive in the half court: Did you see yesterday’s game? I’ve noticed that David “General” Lee (thanks DRED) has been playing really well on offense, especially with the ball in his hands. He likes to get it 10 feet from the hoop,…
