There is not much I can really add that hasn’t already been said about Bussinger-gate in terms of the “blogosphere vs. MSM”. But let me proffer this: This is not a “blog” problem or an “MSM” problem. This is not a necessarily a problem at all, depending on how you view American society as a [...]
Read More..>>I was going to actually write something about the whole DeShawn-LeBron-Soulja-Boy-Jay-Z thing, but I’ll just do a quick recap in case anyone missed it:
0. Evidently, LeBron said the Wizards suck.
1. Publicly, DeShawn Stevenson said LeBron was overrated.
2. LeBron said that responding to DeShawn would be like Jay-Z responding to Soulja Boy.
3. Soulja boy showed up [...]
I know the feeling. The NBA regular season is over and your life feels empty. Fantasy baseball is a nicotine patch to last through the summer, but fantasy football sucks, as does having to face the real world without being able to talk about how you picked up Beno Udrih in the third week of [...]
Read More..>>I’m sitting here, and it’s Wednesday morning, and I feel like I should be writing something. But I don’t want to do a playoff recap… that’s already been done to death, and besides, this blog is about fantasy basketball.
So, instead, I present the first draft of The Petition for the Standardization of Fantasy Basketball
I am [...]
I had an empty feeling in my stomach this weekend because there were no regular season games to recap (although the playoffs started on an exciting note). But after investing 170 days of our lives, it’s only fitting to recap the best and worst of the season that was. What do you say, Nels?
Let’s start [...]
Ryan over at HoopsAddict scared up a pretty good selection of bloggers (and others) to give their predictions for the playoffs. I only say it’s a pretty good selection because I got some quotes in there. But, if you’re not drowning in playoff prep material already, or you just can’t get enough of it, go [...]
Read More..>>I’m typically one not to shill, but I’ll make an exception for this event. While it has been up for a while now, Hardwood Paroxysm is currently running the NBA Blogger Season Awards for 2008. So far so good (in fact, I like the idea so much I’ve already voted). However, one of Hardwood’s categories [...]
Read More..>>It’s actually kind of appropriate I guess, that I was reading this story about the world being torn asunder when I was pinged about today being 170 (or rather yesterday being 170, and today being the day recapping 170).
Line of the Night: Mike Dunleavy Jr. with a world-ending 6.04. See, this is the kind of [...]
Line of the Night: Jason Richardson (6.4) looks like a guy who will beat the living piss out of you in his NBA.com page. The dude had 31 points, 5 threes, 10 rebounds, and, oh, how about 8 steals in a 112-108 Charlotte loss to the Nets.
Honorable Mentions: After he delivered my first child, [...]
Looks like NBA.com might be shutting it down for the year with some kind of fake ankle injury. Let’s roll on with the GMTR scores (close to the NBA ones, only like any good politician, they go negative).
It’s a sad, sad day. Isiah Thomas has probably/likely/with all certainty coached his last game at Madison Square [...]
