Sat, 19 Jul 2008 21:30:49 +1900

Yesterday, in Las Vegas, there was another Blatchmanian Devil sighting. This photo was taken at the Summer League game between the Washington Wizards and the Portland Trailblazers at the Alex Mack center. The creature was seen taking the basketball and spinning around and around towards the basket, limbs flying everywhere, picking up foul after foul and travel after travel. If it was NFL ...

Notes from a trip to the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas . Of all the players performing down here at Summer League, the guy who's impressed me the most has been Kevin Love -- and it's not even close. He's getting an easy 20 points a game, which I suppose was expected, but he's been an absolute beast on the boards getting 15 a game. (And all the people who want to pretend he's "unathletic" ...

J.R. Smith hasn't received much more interest this summer than J.R. Rider. If the Nuggets had fears of some team swooping in to sign the restricted free-agent guard to a big offer sheet, they can breathe easier. Smith was asked Friday if he'd heard this summer from any other teams. "Not yet," he said. Wait a minute. You haven't heard from any teams having interest in signing you? "I haven't ...

Interesting fact about Zhang Songtao: On NBA.com he's listed as being born on Oct 27th, 1987. On the FIBA website, he's listed as June 17th, 1985. Is this just a mistake? Or is it possible that this is an obvious ...

Artest, Part 1: Why I like Ron Artest, the basketball player

The main question surrounding the Cleveland Cavaliers has been, "How can this team improve its supporting cast around LeBron before it's too late?" The team tried to pry Mike Bibby away from Sacramento for a year before failing. Now, another King could be on his way to Cleveland to help out King James' court. So here's another question: Can Ron Artest take the Cavs to where they want to go?
