Not directly Spurs related but sometimes you have to pause and acknowledge such a major step forward for mankind.

Good news for the Yaoster. Let's hope it holds up.

Not a blockbuster signing but with Farmar leaving & Fisher even older I think it helps the Lakers.

Preferred destinations Knicks, Magic or Lakers. (from CBS News) Would you trade Bynum for Paul if you were Dell Demps? or the Lakers' GM?

Oh please, please, please! Let Shaq do to the Celts what he did to Phx & Cle. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

The NBA knows where the center of the basketball universe is. Back-to-back with revenge on top. Sweet!

I really enjoyed this article. It does a great job explaining why I hate the Big Green, . . . well you know. Celticsblog is all aghast that it referenced Pierce getting stabbed. I Checked the links post and didn't see it. (Feel free to delete this if it was already posted earlier.)

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The stepfather of Boston Celtics guard Marquis Daniels was arrested and subdued with a stun gun during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Orlando Magic.

I couldn't figure out how to link directly to the video but this will bring a tear to your eye even if you're not from Cleveland - and make the day just a little brighter for you and me. . .

MRI confirms strained Achilles tendon, no tear for Lakers' Bynum. Rumors of sharp increase alcohol consumption throughout So Cal.

"They gave up a great player but it helped them extend the franchise's success into the future," Popovich said. "It's shown that they've done a good job. Whatever they were thinking a couple of iterations ahead at the time has paid off for them."

Jazz rookie, Sundiata Gaines, on 10-day contract and just called up from D-League last Thursday hits game winning 3 pointer vs. Cavs. Game also included: - D Williams leaves in 4th with re injured wrist - Cav's go on 11-1 run & LeBron scores 20 in 4th qtr in Cavs almost comeback - Sundiata Gaines hits last second 3-pointer to win the game for Jazz Check video next to article. Best part was TNT postgame showed a clip of his D-league team somewhere in Idaho. The coach called the team together for a surprise announcement so the Jazz scout could tell Gaines he's now playing for the Jazz. Then they showed him calling his (obviously excited) mom to tell her. (Yes I know it means the Jazz won but it is hard not to feel happy for the kid.) Oh, and the Celts lost to the Bulls in Boston and that's always a good time.

Looks very serious to me. Coverage from the SBN Bullets Forever blog. I used to wish the Lakers could have held onto Crittenton. Shows how much I know.

I knew that Ariza guy was trouble - Just a matter of time before he blew up. This should be a YouTube of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr3KEbQ_Kag

Sporting News’ list of the 50 greatest players in the NBA today, as selected by a panel of 107 Hall of Famers, major award winners, executives, current players and coaches and other basketball experts.

Nice to see he has us in the number 1 seed. But it seems kind of early to count the Spurs out of the playoffs don't you think?

Hey, in case you missed it, the all important SBN: NBA Power Rankings for Week 3 are out. Lakers No. 1. . . Not bad for a team on a two-game losing streak. Hell I'm going to have a parade before tonight's game just in case. I won't spoil the surprise for you. But let's just say you fans of other teams, be ready to use your mouse scroll wheel.

I know it is not specifically Spurs related but. . . live streams from training camp from Denver (today), then Lakers, Celtics, Wizzards & Hawks. Also scheduled to be rebroadcast on NBA-TV. If you can get past the hate, it might be interesting.

Here is an article that discusses how most NBA teams address players who want to play internationally, in "charity" games or to keep in shape over the summer.
