Is the face of a flopper?
Apparently the Chris Paul love-fest hasn’t overcome everyone in the hoop universe. You’d be shocked to learn that Spurs fans don’t like him, which it totally understandable.
From Pounding the Rock today (complete with a great post headline by the way):
If flopping is a scourge then Paul is one of the […]

Solid Cavs blog Cavalier Attitude is understandably distressed over the way LeBron & Co. are playing against Boston. CA describes ‘Bron as “befuddled,” correctly pointing out that James is playing into the Celts’ hands by settling for long jumpers over and over and over again.
Another object of Cavalier Attitude’s ire? Anderson Varejao. From […]

Remember that Nike ad from a few years back when a 5-on-5 run devolved into Paul Pierce and Jermaine O’Neal going 1-on-1 full-court while the other guys just sat on the sideline and watched? That was kind of like what we saw between Chris Paul (35 pts, 9 asts) and Tony Parker […]

At least we put it nicely. We’d like to give Pop the benefit of the doubt given that his team is in a 2-0 hole and about to step on the floor for their first must-win game of the season. But as Mike Finger of the San Antonio Express-News writes, Brent Barry says it’s a […]

Really? We have to be honest, we didn’t think of Steve Francis once this year after he shut it down…

Will Steph play for Mike D in NYC?
The news out of Jim Dolan’s office is that the Knicks are ready and willing to make a “staggering” offer to lure Mike D’Antoni away from the Bulls and into Madison Square Garden. According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the Knicks are prepared to offer D’Antoni roughly $6 million […]

We told you so…
Everyone wanted to see what Kobe Bryant would do on the night he was presented with the MVP trophy; one notoriously loud national analyst casually predicted he’d score 50, while others talked about triple-doubles and game-winning buckets for the game’s ultimate big stage performer.
