That Williams comment was in agreement with a previous post from a day or two ago. Please flag that one too.

Reggie Evans should be on the main list. He's groin-grabblingly good, and he should merit more attention than Van Horn and, depending on a team's needs, several others on the PF list. Mourning has had a good career and has overcome adversity. But all of those players above him are better...

A monkey with one leg already has enough problems. My money is on Brad, as the hivemind has already been pouncing on him for some time.

I'm leaning towards rooting for the Mavs. I like a lot of the players. I like a lot of the Heat players too, but I fear that Shaq will be at his most annoying, especially if he revisits his Dampier taunting. I don't care too much for Mourning, though I wouldn't begrudge him a title; about the...

But did you ever see McConaughey on TV the time he talked about eating sandwiches with his family? He went on and on about the explosion of ketchup in his mouth, etc. It was painful to watch. He seemed a bit out there and a bit dim, and even if you look like Matthew McConaughey it might start...

James was incredible this season. So many outstanding games and plays. There's no taking away that he was often phenomenal. He's a great personality too. He just seems to be in a position (given his age, etc.) where he can't get the money he thinks he deserves; it also seems if he gets a...

Saunders should be commended for not saying something like, "Make a free throw" to B. Wallace or "If you want it inside, why do you keep chucking threes?" to R. Wallace. (This is not to say that his snap back about defense wasn't pretty direct and hurtful.) I feel for Flip. He's probably not...

I think there's a Drew Barry and a Scooter Barry. One of them (probably Drew) had a cup of coffee with a team or two. I think Scooter played overseas.

I'm not sure the foul was deliberate. The player seemed upset that a foul was called. James threw a bad pass that his teammate had to slide toward the end line to get. It would have been a tough shot, though it would have tied the game. Rasheed was solid, but he did what he could to lose...

Harris and Stackhouse were terrible, though. That certainly didn't help. The play at the end was poorly run as well. Personally I didn't notice anything unusually bad about the refs. Coach Johnson's anger during the press conference was unnerving.

A Rick Barry anecdote: Jayson Williams, former Nets power forward now better known for his casual attitude towards firearm safety, was incensed by Rick Barry's insult of his game during a television broadcast. Williams was playing against (I think) Jon Barry some time later. Williams was...

It's true. His previous #8 was a tribute to the Beatles, as he needs the love of basketball eight days a week. It's all coming round full circle.

I am awed by Dave Schultz' perceptive denigration of Rasheed Wallace's mind, and I can't wait to get a more complete look at Schultz' no doubt stellar insights into life, the universe, and everything. The guy accused Rasheed of being illiterate; it's hard to imagine that as anything other...

They need to make the rules about a malicious strike less specific. The whole "if you throw a punch, you get suspended" concept--I'm not sure if it's a rule or just a meme--strangely makes kicks and elbows less bad. Change "punch" to "strike". Suspend all of the counterexamples--the elbows...

Right. This could be a serious problem. Bibby might see a signal and think, "Is he calling for a high screen/roll or is he telling his wife that he loves only her?"

Very bad idea. He will destroy Monia's confidence. If you want players to play "the right way," you should act more maturely than your ostensibly immature players. That, and his health problems seem pretty serious. I hope that he recovers.

I also think Cuban should be able to say what he wants. I think people react to him more strongly than other outrageous owners because he gets so much more media attention (often self-generated, but still). I'd put Cuban's antics far below Paul Allen asking for money, the occasional loony...

Adelman wouldn't do much better than Brown. At this point, Adelman is a much better coach, but the Knicks as they are now could only bring pain. Why bring that on yourself? (Then again, maybe the team will pay you to go away after a few years. Not a bad deal.)

Monia hasn't brought anything to the table, either. I blame him.

Bell should be out for the next game. I still think Kwame should have been suspended for jawing over Diaw (does that rhyme?), but such is life. As for the blatant miss call list from earlier, one of my favorites of recent memory is Reggie Miller's blatant shove of Jordan before making a game...
