Oh ESPN, you’re so silly the way you play with numbers. But seriously, how many players were involved in this deal? Is it five, or is it seven? It’s kind of a big deal, especially to those two guys that aren’t sure which city they’ll be living in next week.
Bulls acquired Miller, Salmons and some other guys
I thought it would be fun to do a running blog on some thoughts and comments on the NBA’s festivities between myself and Nate. So, here we go:
Apparently the WNBA is still in business as a few of their players competed in the “Shooting Stars” event.
Is there anything uglier than Leonardo Barbosa’s halfcourt shot? It looks like a 6 year old trying to shoot on the big boy hoop.
The Skills competition does not have Chris Paul, Steve Nash, or Deron Williams but its OK because Mo Williams guaranteed a victory.

Dear L.A. Lakers,
You are a talented team that will undoubtedly make a deep push in the Western Conference playoffs. We however, have some advice for you during your run. Please, get a haircut. We admit that watching a 7-foot center lead a fast break is amazing, but seeing him constantly brush away his un-showered hair out of his eyes is rather annoying. Maybe if he had ears like his point guard, it may help, but i don’t see them growing to elf-like levels. We are not just talking about Pau, but also your future X-gamer Vladimir the snow-boarder, Luke and Sasha. Speaking of Sasha, tell him typically the WNBA utilizes the rubber hair bands. So to help you guys start looking like real professional NBA players, please accept the enclosed gift. We think it will help.
Sincerely,
The Big Ticket, The Truth, and The Savior – Jesus Shuttlesworth
PS. Thank Luke for supplying the ganja for our Championship after party, as everyone knows, his stash is the stickiest.
*editors note: This was written before Vlad was traded, but since Adam Morrison seems familiar with the Flowbee maybe he can help the rest of the team.
Much discussion has been devoted to the greatest NBA shooters. But we’re going to settle it once and for all, and we’re going so far as to crown the greatest shooter in the NBA and the game of basketball.

The NBA All-Star weekend has gotten watered down over the past several years, and it’s well documented. It’s not as bad as the NHL or MLB all-star extravaganzas, but it’s close. We don’t necessarily have the best shooters in the 3-point contest. The dunk contest participants are basically a joke. The selections for the actual All-Star game aren’t really representative of the best players in the league. And the laughable Shooting Stars and Skills Challenge still exist. That itself is proof enough that the All-Star Weekend needs some help. But more than that, I want it to be an All-Star weekend from start to finish.

Not really. Celtics fans love Scal, but not that much, I think. But as any C’s fan knows, Scal has been playing out of his mind lately. And now we know why. As of Wednesday, Brian Scalabrine is out indefinitely after suffering two concussions in three days.
The first shot to the noggin was suffered in the second half of the Celtics’ blowout win in Dallas on Sunday. The second was suffered in Tuesday’s practice after the wirey Patrick O’Bryant gave Scal an inadvertent blow to the dome while going up for a rebound. Thin guys like O’Bryant are notorius for their sharp elbows, I know from personal experience.

Sir Charles no longer has a monopoly on shouting the last names of players he admires. Chris Webber now has his own call, a shout-out for the Celtics point guard.
C-Webb has taken to shouting Rondoooooooooooooooo, to give props to one of the leagues young leaders (I just can’t bring myself to call anyone on that team other than KG, Jesus and The Truth a star).
Here’s one of Charles’ famous Ginobiliiiiiiii chants.
As Randy Wittman has his tenure in Minnesota cut short, the Wolves vice president of basketball operations, Kevin McHale will be his replacement. This won’t be McHale’s first foray into NBA coaching, and he’s not the first former Celtic to sit on the bench in a suit (or turtleneck). So which one was the best?

Portland, Portland, Portland. How could you be so callous and stupid?
2009 is going to be a tough year. The economy is in the shitter, and the road to recovery is going to be a looooong one. But we won’t get out of it alive with an “every man for themselves” mentality. We’ve gotta work together. That’s one of the reasons the Blazer’s threat to sue any team that purposefully tries to “adversely impact the Portland Trail Blazers Salary Cap and tax positions” by signing Darius Miles and playing him in two more games this season is so enraging.

LeBron is a very good basketball player, and may one day go down as one of the best players ever. But you have to realize he is only 24 years old. He is still very young and needs to understand he is not at the point in his career where he can “make-up” moves and rules in the NBA.
