Jimmer me timbers

Kahn...

If an arena plan doesn't happen, and the NBA owners block a move, the Maloofs' ultimate hole card could be to sue, claiming an antitrust violation.

might provide a small respite from the moving hysteria...

deflated campaign in NY times. my buddy works at this agency and said they are getting tons of press for it.

A Sloan spinoff story: The coach-star player relationship as seen by Kings' P. Westphal as it relates to Tyreke Evans -

New #2... insert Austin Power's jokes here.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS – The start of a New Year also signals the beginning of our third-favorite season here at the hideout, trade rumor season.

Dec. 30 -- Blake Griffin's Video ridiculous dunk over Timofey Mozgov has been anchored to the No. 1 spot on the Ladder for five weeks now. But no more. Wednesday night's Video wild finish in Sacramento vaults the Kings' Tyreke Evans to the top spot.

Buzzer-beaters come and go, but for degree of difficulty, game situation and overall did-you-see-that! factor, Evan's midcourt shot at the buzzer is one for the books. Our NBA.com colleague and All Ball blogger Micah Hart even awarded Evans' shot an unprecedented Five Horry's on the Horry Scale. Not a bad way to (almost) close out 2010.

Free-agent infielder Jorge Cantu is drawing strong interest from two NL West clubs -- the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks -- a source told FanHouse.

After snagging the Rookie of the Year award for the 2009-10 season, Tyreke Evans has gotten off to a slow start in 2010-11.

Part of his regression has been due to some nagging injuries: He's dealing with plantar fasciitis and a sprained ankle.

And according to Scott Howard-Cooper of NBA.com, it looks like it may be time for Evans to rest.

"Evans may skip games to deal with plantar fasciitis, sprained ankle," he tweeted. "He already wears splint at night and may use a walking boot."

The Kings are off to a rough 4-12 start, and though Evans isn't playing at his highest level, losing their star would obviously still be a blow.

If Evans indeed misses some games, Beno Udrih or Francisco Garcia could replace him in the starting lineup at the 2 alongside Luther Head at the 1. Head has started the last several games at point guard for Sacramento.

"They totally get it," Johnson blogged. "Inland told me they believe the project is one of the most significant infill opportunities in the U.S."

Lakers perspective on tonights game. Video response from Blake in regards to guarding Evans.

"while the Arco crowd isn't quite what it once was -- "I haven't heard them in a long time," Bryant said Tuesday of the once-ubiquitous Sacto cowbells -- they'll be fired up for this one."

Great read by Jason Jones of the Bee.

He should have held out for an NYC job, but AZ has some talent.

As the Padres tick off the days toward what looks like an improbable division title, they are going to face an ironic challenge.

They must find a way to put the least stress on the pitchers -- specifically Mat Latos -- who are responsible for getting them this far.

Throughout August, ESPN.com will take a close look at various teams in the hunt for a playoff spot to assess whether they have what it takes to survive the dog days of August and remain in contention come October.

At the bottom of the page, each team will receive a dog bone rating based on our overall analysis: five bones = serious postseason contender; four bones = good contender; three bones = average contender; two bones = poor contender; one bone = no contender.

Sheridan has Tyreke making the cut for Team USA.

One of the other surprising teams this year has been the San Diego Padres. They have ridden the arms of their great young pitching led by Mat Latos. The Padres have given up 304 runs so far this year, significantly less than any team in baseball. By comparison, the Diamondbacks' pitchers have given up 504 runs which is an amazing 200 more than the Padres. WOW!!!

sorry if this was already posted... but spot on.
