    The latest NBA Carnival – Carnival of the NBA 55 – is up at Daily Basketball. This on is presented in a sweet calendar format for easy browsing. As mentioned in the Carnival:

    The theme for this “issue” of the Carnival is “Make up your own NBA holiday.” … Bloggers for struggling teams wasted no time in degrading their coaches, with holidays right after the end of the season.

    I’m a little disappointed no one created “Celebrate an NBA Dancer Day”. Now, that would be a holiday we can all enjoy.

    In other linkage related news, Hardwood Paroxysm has a great interview with D-League President Dan Reed about the past, present, and future of the D-League. Unlike Isiah Thomas, the man at least has a coherent plan.

    Also, Blake at Hoops Addict has an interesting article with ideas about how to better develop the D-League.

    And since I can’t stop talking about the D-League, apparently Portland, Maine is getting its own D-League team in 2009. Really? Maine? Seriously? So New York can’t get a D-League team, but Maine can? I can see possibly why this league is having some problems. Still, as a current resident of the state, I’m saving my pennies for some season tickets. I just hope Rod Benson is still in the league then.

    Finally, I am so stoked that Mad Libs is making a comeback, I’ve broke out the TMNT PJ’s for the occasion. Nels had an inspired Day 148 post and now Jeff W has a great Smitch vs.Oak Mad Libs post on The Score.com. I’m anxiously looking forward to the next Mad Libs post.

      The Portland team has been bandied about so the Celtics have a closer affiliate. The Celtics are heavy into using the D-League, but they’re affiliated with the freaking Flash which are in Utah. So that’s why. If they get the vote on the Portland team, I can see a New York team being in Harlem as soon as next season.

      TMNT PJs — lol … Do they look like this or this?

      Thanks for the hat tip, Patrick. As I was saying to Carolyn, I was thinking about turning the Quote-Off into a Carnival-type thing (hosted by different blogs), if there’s enough interest.

      Jeff, I’m pretty sure they don’t look like either of those since they probably have holes in the knees and butt from Patrick wearing them for 12 straight years.

      Hey – Jeff at Courtside and I were talking this morning about his Mad Libs post and wondering if anyone liked it. We want to do more; maybe a Mad Libs Carnival?

      Jeff, I’m not sure what was funnier, the pic on the second TMNT link or that there is A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles News Blog? For all the TMNT news you need, I guess.
