Open Game Thread #2: Bulls at Boston Celtics - OVERFLOW

First half, big time stinko. So bad that the fact Aaron Gray played so much isn't the worst thing I've seen tonight. This may be one of those games where we just watch Derrick Rose and pick out some good from that. And assume everyone else will get traded eventually.

Options: Yes on Wright, Belinelli; No on Williams [SFGate]

Options: Yes on Wright, Belinelli; No on Williams [SFGate] I'm a little surprised the Warriors picked up Belinelli's option, but not Williams. Is he that bad that the Warriors have more faith in Bellinelli than him? Also if this wasn't Chris Mullin's call then who pulled the trigger? It…

WOW!, Broadstripe Cable reach agreement with FSN to show Pistons games

After getting a tip in the comments, I called WOW! to verify the good news: a customer rep just confirmed to me that they’ve hammered out an agreement with Fox Sports Detroit to show every Pistons game, beginning with Saturday’s contest against the Wizards, which had been in danger of…

Maxiell on contract: “I’m a Bad Boy and I fit here”

Jason Maxiell spoke to reporters about his newly-signed contract after practice today. From Chris McCosky of the Detroit News: “No question it’s good to get it off my shoulders,” he said. “It’s one less thing I need to worry about. I can just get ready to play.”…

The James “Buddha” Edwards Interview

In my line of work, I talk to a lot of famous people. I don’t get starstruck, especially around guys younger than me, but I do enjoy it. For one, it’s just so interesting to have a conversation with a guy and see how his personality compares to the preconceived notion I may have already…

Open Game Thread #2: Bulls at Boston Celtics

(Check out my A's to Celticsblog's Qs. Yes there's some Ben Gordon slurping. I'm sorry.) I will start off, of course, with lineup whining. Same starters as opening night, says Vinny. Not unexpected, but I really worry about opening tonight's game in a hole. The Celtics are a fantastic defensive…

'We can't throw too much at him because he's starting right now and playing a big role. With some of those bottom-of-the-barrel rookies, you can kind of take more advantage of them. Derrick Rose, slowly but surely when he finds his role, we'll have him doing some chores. Drew Gooden on…

Bobcats won't get a shot at Ollie

Looks like the Charlotte Bobcats won’t get a chance to claim veteran point guard Kevin Ollie off waivers. He made it through the Minnesota Timberwolves’ final cuts Thursday. The Bobcats contacted Ollie’s agent, Bill Neff, anticipating that Ollie might be...

Prepping for the real games

Lineup change would make May a reserve

Sure sounds like coach Larry Brown is leaning toward a lineup change that would make Sean May a reserve for Saturday’s home opener against the Miami Heat. Brown said at practice Friday he’s made no final decision, but he could...

10/29 - San Antonio @ Phoenix

Suns 103, Spurs 98I can't think of a single thing that could be more appropriate than starting the season off with a win against the Spurs. If I were to make a list of the stuff I wanted to happen tonight, "Suns winning." would be right at the top, just about "Amare gets 60 points and 30 rebounds."…

The Greatest Pre-Preseason Preview Ever!

It's that time again, and it's time for another preview to the upcoming season! Following the disappointing first round loss to the rather cantankerous set of Spurs that keep getting thrown at us, Suns fans have been less than optimistic about the upcoming season. I, however, will have to…

Davis impressed with Lakers’ machine

The way Clippers’ Baron Davis sees it, Sasha Vujacic is just a cog in the purple-and-gold “machine.” After getting drubbed by the Lakers, Davis borrowed Vujacic’s self-appointed nickname to describe the entire Lakers team. “That’s a machine and we’re trying…
