New Shit Has Come to Light
Both Teams Played Hard — ... #1. The main thing I’ve been doing is launching a blog about the Indiana Pacers called “Eight Points, Nine Seconds,” which is so new that it still has that new website smell.

So when the folks who run ESPN’s TrueHoop Network of NBA blogs approached me with the idea of starting a site about my beloved Pacers, it was a proposition that I figured I had to accept. They are the Worldwide Leader and all. Of course, it’s not like I’m working for ESPN, only managing an blog ...

48MoH at Both Teams Played Hard
48 Minutes of Hell — Recently, my good friend Jared Wade, of Eight Points, Nine Seconds and Both Teams Played Hard, hit me up with a free ticket to the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. II release show in NYC. In return, he asked me to pen a few words on the Spurs logo, which he considers one of the top ten logos in the league. Rather than repay him with any actual effort, I strung together a few failed attempts at comedy, some completely meaningless pseudo-intellectual babble, and a one-line zinger I had been saving for just the right time. In other words, not only ...

This team is starting to look old: Pacers 113, Celtics 104
Boston Celtics Basketball - Celtics news, rumors and analysis - CelticsHub.com — ESPN Recap • Eight Points Nine Seconds • The Celtics have played four back to back games this year. During the 2nd half of those 4 back to backs, except for their game against Charlotte after the opener, they have looked flat out sluggish. The trend continued last night in Indiana, as The Pacers walked all over The C’s to the tune of 113 points. Danny Granger was…..well Danny Granger. Dhantay Jones was motivated by my preview apparently where I degraded his shooting abilities and exploded to the tune of 25 points. Paul Pierce was the main ...

GameFlow, Eight Points Nine Seconds, Always Miller Time, Indy Cornrows In recent weeks, the injury-ravaged Nets have done a pretty good impression of a scrappy, hard-luck team that was falling just short of success. Last night, their play from the opening tip was more reminiscent of the reality – this is a lousy team that’s not going to beat anybody in this league while Devin Harris, Courtney Lee and others sit on the bench while guys like Rafer Alston, Trenton Hassell and Bobby Simmons are forced into playing big minutes.
