Searching for Dwight Howard - Grantland - http://www.grantland.com/story...
SteVe C, Victor Ganata and Rodfather liked this
"Reality No. 4: Dwight's offensive game hasn't improved Did he fail out of Hakeem's summer camp and we never got the memo? Every Dwight jump hook looks like he's hurling a rock through a window. His footwork gives you that same "I'm just trying to get through this sequence alive" feeling you get when you're watching D-list celebs on Dancing With the Stars. He can't make even a 10-foot jumper, and his free throw shooting is more ghastly than ever (49 percent). He's a lousy passer from the low post who has never averaged even TWO assists per game. And he rarely out-hustles other bigs down the floor for layups or dunks anymore, something Tim Duncan gleefully exposed during the humiliating Spurs beatdown. Should Duncan (37, nearly 1,382 career games) repeatedly beat Howard (27, 758 career games) down the floor in a playoff game? You tell me."

"Reality No. 6: Dwight Howard can't handle it What's "it?" Um ... the media ... expectations ... pressure ... the responsibility of being a leader ... the expectations of being a franchise guy ... should I keep going?

Depends who we give up. If it were for Bogut and some scrubs, sure.

It was bogut Thompson and someone else I can't remember.
- Todd Hoff
I'd be wary of giving up Thompson or Barnes.

Plus, Jack and/or Landry might not be with the team next season and they were so important.

Pulling for the Warriors for selfish Grizzlies specific reasons and just general basketball fan reasons. Extended series means more rest for my Grizz. A 7 game series would mean whoever comes out of said series will likely be tired. If the Warriors win the series the Grizz end up with a better overall matchup. Not necessarily easier but better from a matchup perspective.

NBA Playoffs Shootaround: The Monocle and the Falcon - The Triangle Blog - Grantland - http://www.grantland.com/blog...
""I was advised by Paul George and David Benner not to set a trend by wearing a monocle, so I'm not putting on the monocle," said Hibbert, who brought a freaking monocle to the game like he was delegate to the Treaty of Versailles, and was only kept from wearing it because of a vigorous double-team."

"Playoff podium fashion has been an increasingly important part of the NBA experience since the implementation of the NBA's "please don't dress like rappers" dress code in 2005; a dress code whose primary function was to keep the post-Malice viewing public from dwelling too deeply on the fact that many NBA players are black. "
- Andrew C (✓)
"Evolving from the staid, business-casual look of the immediate post-dress code years, the current state of NBA fashion is being defined by some of the league's most creative players as something we could fairly label as blipster: There's Rajon Rondo's Max Headroom jacket, Nick Young's sun-print dashiki, and, most important, Russell Westbrook's cavalcade of Gordon Gartrelle-meets-Urkel sartorial choices, none more talked about than his adoption of the über-hipster trope of glassless eyeglass frames.

The best part is at the end, when Fisher and Martin's trailing legs on the flop are also synchronized. (edit: Sorry, was Martin, not Sefolosha.)

bump: Fisher was fined for this. Replays determined that Fisher leaned into the contact and yet Asik hit Martin more, not Fisher. http://nba.si.com/2013...

"Get this arrogance: In the ultimate win-or-go-home game, the Nuggets planned on sleeping in San Francisco after Game 6. They boldly informed the hotel staff at their five-star accommodations to turn down the bed covers for them, insisting they would return to celebrate a victory."

The fate of the Sacramento Kings, the Maloofs and a brotherly disagreement - SBNation.com - http://www.sbnation.com/2012...
From last Dec. "Since that Carl's Jr. ad, the Maloofs' net wealth has fallen precipitously from anything close to $1 billion. While that ad was playing on repeat in Sacramento, the second tower of The Palms, as imagined by George Maloof, Jr., was welcoming its earliest guests. Replete with huge luxury suites and clearly aimed at the young and rich, it was a wonderful backdrop for the Vegas boom of the times. But after 2006 was 2007. And the entire nation -- not just the young and rich, not just Vegas -- felt 2007. Vegas felt it the most. The young and rich dried up, and so did The Palms."

"With Sacramento's arena issues in the background, the Maloofs' core business fell off hard. The Palms became a money loser -- a big one -- as financing the debt created to build that second tower became overwhelming. The Maloofs shuttered the WNBA team in Sacramento, citing operating costs that reports said were $1 million a year. (Since when do folks who drink $6,000 wine for lunch...

"The debt became so massive that in late 2009 the family decided to sell their New Mexican liquor distributorship for a reported $400 million.

""I talked to my team before the playoffs, and my message to them was simple: 'Keep a fresh cut,'" Warriors head coach Mark Jackson said. "You want to make sure your haircut looks good, because when we continue to do what we've talked about doing, the media room will be filled, articles will be written and people will be talking about you. "You don't want to look back on it, like I look back at some of my old playoff moments, and wonder why I didn't visit the barbershop.""

When Blake Griffin goes for a layup, then realizes he jumped high enough and far enough to dunk it instead, so he does -- it's crazy. It's like he turned off gravity for a second.

No, it's so his agency can represent ball players. He can't do that if he's got an ownership stake, even a tiny one.

Suns just lost on a buzzer-beating goaltend. Tie game, seconds to go, the Rockets got up a three point shot - as time expired, the ball was still bouncing around the rim but Jermaine O'Neal tipped it out while it was in the cylinder and so the shot counted. Tough way to lose.

Packing the paint is the NBA defensive strategy forcing coaches to rethink their offense - Grantland - http://www.grantland.com/story...
Jennifer Dittrich, Steven Perez and Amir liked this
"It's on almost every locker-room whiteboard, and it's shorthand slang among NBA players and coaches. But one of the wonkiest phrases in the league has yet to penetrate public discourse about the NBA: "to 2.9." Coaches want players away from the ball "to 2.9" on defense, and the meaning is simple: Stay in the paint for as long as possible without committing a defensive three-second violation. It's a tenet that has swept across the league during the last few seasons in the form of ultra-aggressive help defense, a sea change that has inspired a slower but perhaps more important evolution in the way NBA teams approach offense."
