Is Luis Scola gonna be an NBA bust ?
Ball in Europe - European Basketball Blog —
Before writing angry comments, please tell me if 4 points and 4 rebounds a game would have made you smile before the season started. Luis Scola and I had a long long relationship. I always liked the guy, his post-up game. Hence, I even wrote a song for him ...
Links: Recaps, Rudy Rising
3 Shades of Blue —
Chris Herrington give a bigger than normal postgame recap over at Beyond the Arc. He recognizes just what the Ivory Towers (I told Chip we should have gotten a copyright on that name!) did to one of the best defensive frontcourts in the NBA last night. Here are a few more recaps of last night's win over the Houston Rockets: Houston Chronicle Bay News 9 SportsNet2 Now, to the good stuff. Rudy Gay completely emasculates Luis Scola and drops a bomb on him, as well as Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean Jacque Wamutombo -- but you can call him ...

Please Don't Fake the Funk on a Nasty Dunk, I Don't Think My Heart Can Take It.
The Howeva Files —
Yay dunk contest! It's this thing that happens during all-star weekend that used to be awesome, and is now just alright, but we still watch it because we replay J.R. Rider (yeah I called him J.R.) doing the East Bay Funk in our heads over and over ad nauseum, praying that someone will do something sweet and not wack or boring. Participating in the contest are the incumbent Gerald Green, Rudy Gay, Dwight Howard (Jesus Christ), and Jamario Moon, the lone rookie in the event. Rudy Gay's been coming strong with his campaign; he's been all over YouTube having fans post suggestions for his dunks, and there's a ...
The New Poster Boys of the NBA: Argentines
Stop Mike Lupica —
It's really getting hard out there for an Argentine to draw a charge, huh? Ask Manu Ginobili on Tuesday against Jason Richardson and the Bobcats: If it leads to less flopping by Manu, I'm all for it. Ah, but wait... it reminded me of a dunk from earlier this season... oh yes: Rudy Gay sodomizing Argentine Luis Scola: "Someone put that on a poster and give 5,000 out". Indeed. Wasn't it earlier this month that Mickael Pietrus dunked over Andres Nocioni? Oh yes, here it is: Not ...
Dwight Howard 2009 NBA Dunk Contest, Rudy Gay And Nate Robinson Also Will Compete
FanIQ Blog —
I love the NBA dunk contest. But even I'll admit that it hasn't been all that great for a while now. Most of the time, it's just a bunch of guys you've never heard of, and there's never a big star in it. Luckily though, last year we were treated to Dwight Howard's epic Superman performance. However, I feared that after that we'd fail to see Howard again. That he'd pull a Vince Carter and just hang 'em up. Luckily though, I was wrong. ...

Scoutless in Memphis? Time to Move the Grizzlies to Seattle (and Jettison Chris Wallace)
The Big Lead —
A young backcourt, a bouncy dunker, two low-post additions that will help at the offensive and defensive end, a team that could gain popularity with Calipari leaving Memphis … good time to be a Memphis Grizzlies fans, right?
… the Grizzlies recently decided to let go of their scouts. Yes, all of their scouts. “I prefer a smaller group,” said Chris Wallace, the Grizzlies GM. Last season, the Grizzlies had five full-time amateur scouts. This season, the Grizzlies will have no full-time college scouts.
This is an idea that is four stages beyond bad. This is worse than ...
