The Miami Dolphins Select OT George Karl with the 1st Pick in the 2008 NFL Draft
FanIQ Blog —
Seeing as how the Denver Nuggets bus caught fire on the way to the game, you'd think they didn't need any extra tricks to get fired up.
I'm not sure if this is routine behavior from George Karl and his coaching staff, but if one chooses to get PUMPED by having an all coach/dork mosh pit, then so be it.
Putting on my Mel Kiper helmet ...
George Karl, now here's a guy who does a great job of keeping guys in front of him. Good bend of the knees, and keeps his pad level low enough. Possibly a little too old for the 1st overall pick, but he'd be the best offensive lineman on the ...

Hail Mary Jane —
Ok I’m not really sure WTF is going on here but apparently George Karl’s next career is going to be Sumo Wrestling. Now hopefully he will have better opponents than the ones he’s facing here, they are soft.

Lakers vs. Nuggets Bullets
ESPN.com - TrueHoop —
One thing that everybody knows about this series is that Denver can't play defense. It's like the one unimpeachable fact of this series, and just about every commentator, expert, and writer has mentioned it. How do we know it's true? Look how many points they give up! Unfortunately, it's not as simple as that (as many have discussed before). The Nuggets play at the fastest pace in the NBA. They have, on average the most, and shortest possessions. That means their opponents have the most possessions, too. And that's why their opponents score the points. If only there were some way to measure how well a team defended per ...

YouTube of the Day: George Karl's odd pre-game ritual
Ball Don't Lie —
My three favorite random moments from an action-packed weekend of playoff basketball: 1. Kevin Garnett screaming and punching Leon Powe after that vicious two-handed slam over the Hawks. Seriously. Can you imagine playing board games with this guy? ("GREAT, GREAT, GREAT YAAHHHTZZZZEEEEE, RAJON!!! AAAAAARRRGHHHHH!!!!! YOU'RE AWESOME!!!") 2. TNT re-airing Deron Williams' 5th-grade yearbook page. I laugh every time I think of Jeff Van Gundy noticing D-Will's classmate, Stephen Wright, who had a blank space next to his bio's "FUTURE" line, and saying, "but what about Stephen Wright? ...

America is a funny place — the law is interpreted differently from town to town. Behavior considered perfectly legal in a Los Angeles locker room (above) can win you the ire of police in Purchase, NY.
TLN Playoff Preview: Lakers vs. Nuggets [Game 2]
The Lakers Nation —
One and twelve.
That is Pau Gasol’s career record in Playoff games.
But what a one it was, 36 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists.
All game highs.
Jaw dropping. Simply astounding.
Aside from arguably the best statistical Playoff performance since Big Game James, the Lakers also went up one game to nil against the Nuggets.
In nearly every way the Lakers showed that they are indeed, worlds apart from the Denver Nuggets.
They did it with supreme execution on the offensive end and indifference at the defensive side of the floor.
Guess which half of that equation will have to change. ...

Some like it rough: Five hardest fouls of the NBA playoffs
Ball Don't Lie —
We're only nine days in on 40, and already this year's NBA playoffs has seen its fair share of rough play. Josh Smith is punking Pierce, Carl Landry is losing teeth and D-West can't stop slapping around Dirk. It's like the 80's in long shorts out there. (Slight exaggeration.) But which has been the hardest playoff foul to-date? Cast your vote below. The current top five candidates: Jason Kidd flips Jannero Pargo, Game 4. Instead of trying to make the block, a lazy Jason Kidd grabs Pargo by the back of the neck and swings him to the court. Incredibly, Pargo wasn't injured on the fall, but Kidd was ...
Top Five: Things I hate about the NBA

5. Players and their egos
If an NBA player is looked at the wrong way by another player, there is going to be some sort of standoff to make sure the dude receiving the look doesn’t lose any manpoints. Its ridiculous to me how some of these players will go out of the way to let another player know that what they did was upsetting to the other. They just end up looking really stupid. I’m also sick of a little altercation between two players resulting in the posse running over to turn it into a way bigger deal than it really was. It is really ridiculous when players from the same team do something as childish as splash each other with ...

... it real’’ on the streets of Baltimore in what seemed like an audition for “Oz,’’ ruining Slam-Dunk Contests with drug-addledness … and never winning enough games to advance to Round 2. … or to advance to the playoffs at all.
