ESPN Daily Dime Blazer Vote

Hi Bedgers,

Just thought you might want to have the opportunity to vote for the most exciting team in the league (Point 10 in the post). Our vote tally is lagging so I'm hoping this shot catches Ben's attention.

Cheers,

Goliath Returns

Hey folks, A nice article on GO in the Washington Post today. It's interlaced with Bynum information as well but a nice read nonetheless. DCBlazer

L*ker love for the Blazers?

Hey Bedgers,

Sorry for the link post and additional apologies if it's already made its way hither (didn't see it posted yet). A nice and light-hearted breakdown of why the red and black will ascend to the Western Conference's pinnacle next year.

As much as I despise the "southeners" who sport the mustard and fuscia, it still is nice to have them feeling the heat.

Enjoy, DC

Is Stern finally seeing the light (pun intended)?

This is something that I truly hope begins to take hold with NBA execs and program/facilities managers at all of these venues. God forbid we revert back to the times where the game itself served as the primary focus and not as the side show for a pyro show/ concert.

Sorry for the separate post but I didn't want it to get lost in the shuffle....

DON'T FORGET THAT FATTY HAS ASKED FOR TOTAL WINS AS OF FEBRUARY 26!!!!!!!!! (NOT THE END OF THE SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I saw what I would guess to be end of season predictions so I just wanted to warn you all.

Boston Globe Article on LMA

Hey everyone, just wanted to share this piece that I came across during the weekend. A nice glipse of what is already known to all of those reading this site, but still very nice to see the props coming from the East Coast. Boston nonetheless.

You get the sense that many folks feel that this season LMA is going to break out in a big way.

Is Blake really worth $10m per year??

Seems a stretch to me...

"Blake Update

It's looking more and more like Steve Blake will not be back in a Denver uniform next season. This is not because the Nuggets don't want Blake back because they still like him very much as a player. Instead, it's because Blake will just command too much money on the open market.

While no mandate has been handed down to cut salary in Denver, the team has a duty to remain fiscally responsible.

Ask yourself... is bringing Blake back for what would be over $10 million a season with the luxury tax penalty be a smart business decision?"
