Hoop blog The No-Look Pass dug up the TV spot for NBA Jam this morning. And to go with the first commenter on their post, we actually don’t even remember this commercial either …

After telling him to get the heck away from the Laker bench and calling him ‘Bozo the Clown,’ Craig Sager‘s only response to Phil Jackson was, “Buttercream?”

Majority opinion seems to be that the 2009 NBA Draft will be a weak one. Whereas the ’08 class produced what could be a handful of future franchise players (Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, O.J. Mayo, Brook Lopez, Eric Gordon), there are really only two players at the top of the ’09 mock drafts who most experts think have that potential. One is Blake Griffin, and the other is Ricky Rubio.

If the Warriors were to create a wish list, there would probably be room for only one thing above acquiring a real point guard and perhaps a low-post scorer. There’s no doubt that the top wish would read, “Get rid of Corey ‘Bad Porn’ Maggette.” And there’s a chance that Christmas comes early this year.

Wow. Just … wow. We came across this on the great Barstool Sports from an NYC-area HS team.

Did we mention that their nickname is the Tappan Zee Flying Dutchmen?? Sounds about right.

What are the two toughest places in the NBA right now for a road team to walk in and get a win? Cleveland is the obvious one. But if you haven’t been paying attention lately, you might not realize that Denver deserves to be right up there, too. Both the Cavs and Nuggets rolled yet again in their respective gyms last night, with LeBron‘s squad taking a 1-0 lead on the Hawks, and Carmelo‘s crew going up 2-0 on the Mavs in another blowout … Read More »

After ranking the top 30 players of the first round, who brought up the rear as the biggest flops of the postseason so far? (Second round included.)

10. Travis Outlaw “Mr. 4th Quarter” needs to show up for the other three. He had a couple crunch-time moments in the Blazers/Rockets series, but Outlaw’s shot was generally off throughout (31% FG, 9.0 ppg). With a $4 million salary that comes off the books in 2010, and the Blazers bringing back a healthy Martell Webster next season, don’t be surprised if Outlaw gets traded. Read More »

If I apologized for cussing in the title of this post, I would be disqualified immediately from being in the running as a motherf*cker. So I’m not going to say that I’m sorry. Motherf*ckers don’t apologize. They don’t have time for that sh*t – they’re too busy making your life a living hell. Read More »

It became pretty obvious during the Heat’s brief playoff run that they need to find more playing time for Michael Beasley. In the last three games of the first round, the rookie averaged 19 points and nine boards in 30 minutes off the bench, and was often the only other viable scoring option behind Dwyane Wade.
