Grizzlies at Thunderboomers 12/10/08 pregame notes
Grizzed by Vanjulio —
... the worst team in the NBA and they lost their coach and are going even further into the spiral. They benched their serviceable vets to develop only their youngsters (Earl Watson and Joe Smith need a new home ASAP). And Robert Swift is just crazy isn't he? But they beat us! At home! On a statement game on the weekend with a packed house! We were on our way out as a major league team at that point. Let's hope we reverse the madness tonight! Time to regain our legitimacy. DARKO! keys to the super bowl Physical ...

Tom Ziller of Sactown Royalty on John Salmons vs. Kobe Bryant: "If Salmons weren't a teetotaler, he would've earned himself a comped night at the Hardwood Suite for his battle with Kobe. Kobe hit one more FG than Johnny ... while taking 12 more shots. And a bunch of the makes came when the game had been more-or-less decided. Salmons also had more assists, more rebounds, fewer turnovers, and more steals ... and his +/- (+11) was better than Kobe's (-15) by ... 26 points. And this came as each guarded each other most of the night, with some help on each end." Oregonian beat writer Jason Quick says that he has no interest in talking to Greg Oden right now. He says Oden is too wrapped up in ...

Yet one more reason I find Darko's career oddly fascinating
Lakers Blog —
Dude shreds jerseys with his bare hands when miffed. I mean, that's just a small step from Incredible Hulk territory. Granted, this wasn't quite as bizarre as an anti-ref tirade foul mouthed enough to make Judd Apatow blush (I can't possibly link to the clip, but it's very easily found on YouTube). But in it's own right, still pretty impressive. I'm also not sure which is funnier.

Darko Rips His Jersey Hulk Hogan Style, Team Auctions It Off for Charity
FanHouse —
by Brett Edwards Filed under: Grizzlies, NBA VideosThere was some questionable, low quality video floating around the other day of Darko Milicic ripping his jersey open in frustration during the Grizzlies' game against the Rockets. Thankfully, the team itself has provided us a better look at the clothing carnage, and has posted it at NBA.com for all to see. Or, you can just watch it right here. I don't know how many other teams in the league would be willing to add video of something like this to their website, but there honestly isn't much else worth talking about in Memphis these days, so why not? ...
What I Would Give If I Were Santa Claus
Thoughts from the Jockstrap —
Tis the season, right? I was thinking about what I would want for Christmas and started feeling bad, because it’s about the giving. I then moved to what I would get my wife and children if I could afford it. Athletes can afford anything, but it sounds like they just get cars and a Jesus piece instead of what they really need. If I were Santa Claus and could give athletes what they need/deserve instead of what they can afford, things would be different. I made a list of gifts I would give as Santa Claus. It would start with Boyd and Jim getting coal for being perverts and then move on to athletes. ...

Welcome to the Weekly Wrap-Up, your source for all the happenings and tidbits from the previous week in the NBA, all in rambling bullet-point form.
- First order of business, we had two somewhat significant trades last week, and as always it is my job to point out the winners and the idiots.
Charlotte trades Jason Richardson, Jared Dudley and a 2010 2nd rounder to Phoenix for Boris Diaw, Raja Bell and Sean Singletary - Now, normally I’m against deals that add long-term contracts to teams that aren’t going anywhere. Luckily for the Suns, they gave away an even more egregious contract than they got back (Diaw), so it doesn’t matter that Richardson is a bit overpaid. For a ...
