I Can’t Figure Out Why The Wizards Lack Consistency
Ok, so what’s on your pregame playlist … what gets you jacked up? Right now I’m heavy on Drake … ummm Lil’ Wayne, anything Lil’ Wayne, Drake, T.I., Jay-Z. Those are the main four. If I’m real angry, I’ll go old school 2 Pac. But I got to be angry though … real angry. You’re not angry ...

I Cannot Think of Anything Clever to Write About this Game (i.e. Not Off to a Good Start) Cleveland @ Indiana, 7pm EST For the 11 of you not going to see New Moon tonight, feel free to enjoy this NBA game. I expect a monster game (no pun intended) from James, who is clearly frustrated with ...

What Goes On Behind Closed Doors | 3 Shades of Blue
Fine, so the Memphis Grizzlies apparently had one of these meetings after the Houston debacle. Big deal, right? But then they go out and beat (an admittedly depleted) Minnesota. Then they come in Wednesday night and play an utterly dominating game against the Clippers, leading wire-to-wire. ...

Harsh Truths » Boston Celtics Basketball – Celtics news, rumors and analysis – CelticsHub.com
Poor Scal. Lewis was by far the more troubling match-up for Boston in that series. Tonight will be different. KG has the quickness and length to chase Shard on the perimeter and the size to deal with him on the block. Right? via Harsh Truths » Boston Celtics Basketball – Celtics news, rumors ...

McGrady unsure whether Rockets want him – NBA – Yahoo! Sports
Eventually, Adelman returned to the locker room and retreated with McGrady into an adjacent coach’s office. McGrady slammed the door behind him, a witness said, and that marked the start of a tense, sometimes loud exchange that could be heard in the locker room, sources said. In the ...

Oh, No, Brandon, The Reason It’s So Cool Here Isn’t The Weather, It’s The Shadow Of The Massive Hill You’re Eternally Trying To Climb
Bogut suffered the injury on a loose ball under the Nets’ basket, playing one more possession before walking to the locker room under his own power. It was hoped the injury would be a minor one, but an MRI today said otherwise. As always seems to be the case when Bogut gets injured, the ...

Motor City Sports » Wow – 11/19/2004
I was trying to duck and help protect Dana, who was right next to me. At some point, I got pushed into the table, which tipped over, sending laptops, phones and TV monitors crashing to the ground. Dana was begging Chauncey Billups not to go into the crowd, telling him it would only make things ...

I’d Much Rather Get Hit By A Car Than Shot At By A 90 Year Old Woman From 100 Yards Away. Whew!
It’s difficult to know if a different defensive strategy would have helped the Spurs. San Antonio was trailing by small margins for most of the game. If Popovich had doubled Nowitzki, one of Dallas’ three point shooters could have, theoretically, cashed in on an open look. You can’t fault ...
