Notes from Across the Association: Deng, Artest, etc…

So a lot has been happening recently, so I figured it’s worth checking in: Luol Deng: I have no problem with the Bulls keeping Deng. Deng is a versatile player, a hard worker, and the kind of guy who, in my opinion, will one day show the type of savvy veteran leadership that is essential [...]

The State of Things

I think this is the tenth post in a row where I’ve complained about the amount of work I have instead of talking about basketball, and that is getting very boring for everyone involved, myself included.

Quick thoughts on Childress

So awhile back I wrote pieces on both Brandon Jennings and Juan Carlos Navarro that began to hint at what has happened this week with Josh Childress. A lot of people have weighed in on this matter, and I think Kelly Dwyer is right to argue that it is far too early to begin calling [...]

A Quick Apology

The only thing that could have made this a more Spurs-y pick up is if he had been really old. He’s a hard-nosed defender who shoots 40% from beyond the 3-point line. Sounds like half [...]

Is Manu Ginobili Everything to Everyone?

Yes, as a matter of fact, he is. I don’t yet have a cogent interpretation of this video, but rest assured I will reflect upon this masterpiece and get back to you.

A Smart Move

According to two NBA sources, one from each conference, the Spurs are preparing to make an offer to Maggette, who became an unrestricted free agent Tuesday when he opted out of the final year of his contract with the Los Angeles Clippers.-Jeff McDonald, San Antonio Express-News This is the best move the Spurs can realistically [...]

Le Bored

As an homage to a few close friends of mine who are presently in France, most likely drinking Chateauneuf de Pape and consorting with a disinterested pastry chef named Pascal while dreams of May ’68 flutter in their heads, I bring you the rap stylings of Tony Parker. Because why the hell not? Its Tuesday, [...]
