SI.com - Writers - All-Star Game picks (cont.) - Wednesday January 9, 2008 2:27PM

Game day: Going for deuce deuce
Blazers Blog — ... getting to the basket more, which I feel good about. This year, I think I have been showing people I can score on the block, that I'm not just a jump shooter anymore."

Ball Don't Lie — ... New York Times. Stephon Marbury goes under the knife, is likely out for the season, and the Knicks are desperate to unload his contract. Easier said than done, it would have to be to a team that is truly, truly desperate to get out of a deal that goes beyond 2010.
