You have probably noticed there are all these
blogger previews going on these day. I am on
the hook to write a preview of the Portland Trail Blazers. Here goes: Trail Blazers, Meet the Ball. Ball, Meet the Blazers. Used to be that you'd watch ...

For years, bloggers and others (or maybe just
bloggers) have been wishing that All-Star Weekend would involve
a H-O-R-S-E competition. I talked to the head of the NBA's D-League, Dan Reed, today (more on that later), and he told me the excellent ...

Q: You were a 4 in college, and
now you do so many things, even guarding point
guards. How has that happened? A: I'm just going hard all the time, trying to get better at all the different phases of the game. Coach Johnson, even before he was the head coach, he has been in charge of my development. The main thing has been to keep the attitude that you are humble and need to improve.

We have heard it a million times. So
and so can "make change" off the top of
the backboard. But have you ever seen it done? Is it really even possible? I remember back in last year's dunk contest, much was made of the fact that Dwight Howard slapped ...

In some ways, I have been working on
this post for years, just by listening to things
that NBA players say. They talk about a massive spectrum of things, of course, from AAU to Zydrunas Ilgauskas. But sprinkled in there among the things players talk ...

For whatever reason, practically all of my favorite
players are long, skinny, mobile defenders with good hands
who can score efficiently in many different ways when their team needs it -- but don't get all huffy if that doesn't happen. Tayshaun ...

Kevin Durant will soon announce that he will
be in the 2007 draft. And at that announcement,
or shortly afterwards, it is expected that Aaron Goodwin -- the agent who represents Dwight Howard, Chris Webber, and who negotiated the biggest sponsorship in basketball shoe history for LeBron James before James fired him nearly two years ago - will become Durant's agent.

If you didn't watch Golden State vs. Utah,
shame on you. One Utah point guard, Deron Williams,
was on the bench with foul trouble one minute into the game. His backup, Dee Brown, played valiantly for a few minutes, before he nearly snapped his back ...

Jeff Clark of CelticsBlog will be the ringmaster
of some wild blogtasticness for the evening. It will
work like this: when David Stern announces that a team is on the clock, a pre-selected blogger who loves that team (or at least kind of likes them) ...

Great interview over at TrueHoop with Pistons assistant
coach Terry Porter, who talks about what his team
takes from Wednesday nights game against the Celtics, how they try to match up with other Eastern Conference superstars, and much more.

Wild news, huh? The whole story is pretty
long (we have been talking for nearly a year)
but probably not all that intriguing unless you're my wife or my mom, and they have both already heard it. But here's the...

This dunk-o-matic footage from the archives, of Canadian
Henry Bekkering, must be seen to be believed. Here's
some more. Sent to me by Tommy Beer of Hoopsworld who points out that Bekkering is the first person he has ever seen windmill while jumping over somebody.

Henry Abbott over at True Hoop interviews the
NBA's likely ROY, the appropriately named Brandon Roy. Great
chat with a very likeable superstar in the making.

Anthony Schoettle of the Indiana Business Journal writes
about the state of the Pacers, and frankly, it's
troubling. First of all, there is speculation that the Pacers have been losing money steadily in recent years. We have heard unconfirmed recent ...

one of the most demanding jobs in the NBA
and his work directly affects the outcome of games. Yet you probably have never heard of him or most people like him. He's an advance scout for the Houston Rockets ...

It makes all kinds of sense that Boston
would be interested in Kevin Garnett. They're a big
market team in need of a savior. He's a big-time player ripe for a change, whose value could be unlocked on the big stage. A couple of very smart people -- ...
