... , a blog I absolutely love is Stunned at The Palace. They offer up 30 key points in their game recap. So that means 30 miniature Rasheed Wallace heads accompanying each point. It’s comical.

emptythebench.com 4/21/2008 — Before I tell you why Sunday night’s embarassing loss to the Philadelphia 76ers is no big deal, let’s get the formalities out of the way: that was sickening.
