Clint Barmes Rides Again; or Venison Steaks For All
It’s happened. Call it inevitable; say what you want. The alternative was just too absurd. A Rockies batter who hits .220! Impossible. Can’t happen; can’t be true. This rondure turns, and we’re back to reality.

Calderon Says He Needs To Be #1
Jose Calderon has come out with some pretty strong statements on his blog about both his own basketball game and his feelings on the offer he should be getting from the Raptors.

NBA Lottery Betting
Well you can bet on the next President of the United States, when the first Mars landing will come to fruition and now as a natural progression why not bet on the outcome of the NBA draft lottery.

T-Shirt Is Funny - Get Over It
Apparently people have gotten to the point where we can fully not take a joke any more. Papa John’s Pizza issued an apology to Cleveland and the Cavaliers for making T-shirts…

Darius Miles Interview - He Likes The Sauce
You’ve simply got to read the full Darius Miles interview, but I give you this tease…
Yeah, you probably smelled liquor on me before. But it’s not like I’m at practice drunk. I’m totally focused. I don’t care if you come to practice and take shower, once you go to practice and start sweating, its going [...]
Kirilenko’s Best Contract Is At Home
Athletes usually need their agent’s to help them negotiate contracts, but Andre Kirilenko may have negotiated the greatest (sorry I am a guy afterall) contract himself. No I’m not talking about his contract with the Jazz or some endorsement deal, the contract is a little one at home with his wife.
According to the Salt [...]
How I Missed Kobe Score 81
This semester I am studying law in Hong Kong and the residence where I live receives a single English sports station. Given that we are 13 hours ahead of the East Coast while I am out here, the other day I come home from the gym, note that the English sports station is showing the [...]

NBA Contracts
I stumbled on this yesterday. A great site with a team-by-team breakdown of NBA player-contracts and dollar figures.

Tyson Chandler Is A Joke
You can pinpoint the date the Los Angeles Clippers dragged themselves out of the muck and started their ascension towards becoming a legitimate NBA caliber team: Wednesday June 27, 2001. That was the day Jerry Krause traded Elton Brand to the Clips for the rights to Tyson Chandler and Brian Skinner. Basically Elton Brand for [...]

Yao! It’s The Minor Injuries That Kill You
Yao’s Big Toe, And The Weird (And Maddening) World Of Sports Injuries
Am I advocating amputation? Let’s back up for a second. By now you might have heard that Yao Ming, all 7′6″ of him, is going to be out “several weeks” with an infected toe. He underwent surgery today (20/12/05) in Houston and is going [...]
Who’s Worse, Raps or Hawks?
The Toronto Raptors are 11.5 games out of the playoffs. The Atlanta Haws are 10.5 out. You might be wondering “what’s so strange about that?” In ‘04/’05 the Raps missed the post-season by 26 games; the Hawks by 46. So we’re looking at an improvement, right? Well, I don’t think so.
17 games into the season [...]
For The Little Men
Seeing as I am not a basketball wizard and need to get most of my information about the NBA from other sites, without a doubt one of my favourites is True Hoop by Henry Abbot.
So a shout out to all the little guys out there via Henry…Today Henry posted a great link to a video [...]
Will Mike Dunleavy Ever Do Anything?
Mike Dunleavy Scouting Report
Mike Dunleavy had another bad night on Friday. We’re only 6 games into the season, but an 8 point average over 33 minutes has got to be raising a few eyebrows in the fantasy community. When is this guy going to wake up and produce?
Dunleavy, 25, was the Warriors’ 1st round [...]
Brevin Knight Scouting Report
You may be wondering where Brevin Knight gets off going for 15 assists and 3 steals/night. Well, he’s playing 34 minutes/game for a 2nd year expansion team and he’s taking 10 shots/night. Considering the ball touches his hands after every opposition bucket it’s not surprising that he’s racking up all those assists.
Charlotte’s giving up [...]
Joel Przybilla Scouting Report
I’m not sure why I’m writing up Przybilla, but there’s just something intriguing about this guy. In 23 minutes last night he picked up 5 blocks, and only 1 personal foul. You’d have to think a defensive presence like Przybilla would have trouble staying out of foul trouble, but that wasn’t the case. Five blocks [...]

Marko Jaric Scouting Report
Some hardcore fantasy basketball players may remember the emergence of Marko Jaric as a steals monster early in the 2004 season . He climbed onto the radar with big assist-steals night in Los Angeles and remained a viable fantasy option until hurting his knee and back couple times and going down for most of the [...]

Marcus Camby Scouting Report
How could I avoid writing up a guy who picked up 17 boards last night? Well, this little blurb isn’t so much praise as it is a warning.
With Nene out for the season, Marcus Camby is the clear and unquestioned #1 centre in Denver. He’s 31, he’s extremely frail, and his career high in games [...]
Andre Iguodala Scouting Report
Four personal fouls limited Andre to 23 minutes in last night’s contest vs. the Bobcats. But in limited time he went 7-9 from the field, notching 15 points to go with 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and a steal.
In 82 games last year AI Pt.II averaged 9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals/night. [...]
RBK - I Am What I Am
Man I get a lot of email about this post…So once again I am bumping it to the front page for easy access.
I must admit that I think the Reebok ads (if you are interested in more on the campaing, visit Adrants) featuring Allen Iverson and Jay-Z are simply amazing. If you haven’t seen them, [...]
