Check out this nice interview with our boy Pree. Very informational, and has a shout out to GSOM.

Stephen Jackson to Denver a Possibility? [Hoopsworld]

Yay another TPE that would most likely expire into nothing left but a dream and J.R. Smith, who I like, but is also supposedly a head case. Whatever though. If they want that crap contract I say give it to them.

Law at SF!!??

A 6'3" Small Forward, with Maggette at the 4 and Monta at the 2.....holy peanut crackers.

NBA 2K10 Preview

NBA 2K10 Preview

As always the pics are looking cleaner every year. Hopefully the online play will be a little better modified. I couldn't stand waiting twenty minutes to play a game.

Gerald Wallace will be traded

danielholl — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 05:51:41 -0000

Reports say that Wallace will be traded in the very near future. Would he be a good fit for the dubs? The guy is like a bigger JRich who could be traded for Al and pieces. Would that be something that could benefit the dubs in any way? They have enough swingmen, and Al has been a very valuable player.

Would Wright Turiaf and Biedrins be able to hold it down on the inside? Would Nelly play him at the 4 being so athletic? He played Pietrus at the four and he was 6'6".

I just don't want to see an unhappy Al fail to produce for 20 more games until he realizes he's not going to be traded. This is a very rare opportunity to get a great player. Thoughts?

Training Camp Finished & Williams sprained ankle

danielholl — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 09:45:01 -0000

Marcus Williams sprained his ankle in the last day of practice. Damn, I was excited to see Williams play in the pre-home-opener against "The Thunder". He should be better by opening day if its just a sprain though.

Rob Kurtz is the "best rookie" Nelson says. Rebounds, good bball IQ, has highest rebound average in camp. Here's a link to his college stats, which are impressive:

The game against New Orleans is not televised or on the radio. Not sure if there will be a stream online. Any knowledge?

Final interviews and articles.

Seems the starting lineup is:

Watson

Jax

Mags

TMNT

Beans

I like it. C.J. is said to be looking good. Further though the article on TMNT is similar to the positive response he was getting at this exact time last year, it feels good to hear good things.

Training Camp Update

Just an update of Traing camp:

-Monta arrives and is interviewed. Thoughts by SJax.

"Going wait 'til [his] agent addresses the team"-Monta

What the heck does that mean? Is he not going to personally apologize to his teammates? What is he waiting for?

I think part of his punishment should be to take some college courses while he's not training. Mainly English and Ethics. Give this boy some gramma, and teach 'im what right and what wrong. It was nice to have Baron, (UCLA), doing a lot of interviews because he could articulate himself a little.

Also there's a nice bit about AB, and how far he has come to become a co-captain.

Also here's a piece about Jackson still talking about being "taken care of" with a new contract.

NBA PLAYBACK

danielholl — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 04:12:52 -0000

Now that the MBL has instituted video playback to verify home runs and such, NBA fans are waiting for technology to help officials make the right choices.

The New York Times put out a great article detailing the benefits of video review:

http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080826&content_id=3370191&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb

For the NBA, one instance in particular stands out in my mind where this would help. March 24, 2008. Warriors v. Lakers. The final game in the series. The Warriors, as usual, start slow but have an amazing comeback fueled by some Stephen Jackson 3's late in the game. The game goes into OT. Buike owns Kobe and the boards....well why don't you just watch:

This game just about gave me 20 heart attacks. Afterwards, I felt like I had been blown by Jessica Alba, only to find out it was Rosie Odonnel. I felt cheated, disgusted and full of hate. Buike was an awesome 6th man in this game. He and Monta kept the game going with their energy. Here are the stats for that game for fun:

So how would this playback work. Would there be challenges like the NFL? Would they carry over quarters? I know this has been discussed before, but now that Baseball and Football both have it, it seemes like a matter of time before the best sport of them all adopts some form of it. Thoughts?
