Line of the Night: Jason Kidd (1.38). No, we’re not just recycling Day 35 from Tuesday. The ageless Kidd notches his second line of the night in three days with 16 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds and 5 steals in a win over the officially historically inept 0-18 New Jersey Nets. The Mavs shot 80% [...]
Read More..>>This is part three of the mini-series that’s focusing on teams that were hit hard by the “Four Horsemen” (Injury, Salary Cap, Rebuilding, Bad Contracts) over the off-season.
Unlike some teams (say Houston), the Nets didn’t completely self-destruct this off season. Rather, in one of the first huge trades of the summer, the Nets said sayonara [...]
Read More..>>Line of the Night: Jason Kidd (6.42) pulled out the first 6+ I’ve seen in a while. Or at least that I remember seeing. And reality and what I remember can be two vastly different things. Kidd had 19 points on 6/11, 4/5 and 3 threes. He also has 15 assists, 4 rebounds (no triple-double??), [...]

Line of the Night: On a night when both Chris Paul and LeBron James played the game of basketball, neither of them had a performance that matched that of Half-Man Half-Retired Vince Carter (5.43). Carter has been sort of middling around in [...]
The Exodus from The East continues… CBS Sportsline has a recap of the trade that is sending Kidd to the Mavs for Devin Harris. They also have some fantasy analysis, from which I plan to borrow liberally…
Don’t expect Kidd’s Fantasy value to change significantly in Dallas. He is still worth starting as a No. [...]
With Ray Allen and KG joining the Celtics this season, tickets to home games will no doubt be impossible or very expensive to get. I felt it important to document the pre Allen/KG game attending experience, so we can see how much things are about to change.
Or, in other words, I had these pictures sitting [...]

Oh, and a Carnival too… Let’s see what we gots…
I have voluntarily submitted [...]
Not everyone can be the greatest. Sometimes it’s important to celebrate lesser achievements, like the Golden Globes or the time you got a gold star for not eating paste in kindergarten. So I present to you, the Eddie House All-Stars, a collection of talent that does the most with the least. What does it take [...]

I’ve put Rasual Butler into my lineup this week. So, if you picked him up from free agency like I did, be warned. He’s probably only got 1 or 2 more good games. It was going well for Linus, JR, Bostjan, and Brian Skinner. [...]
So the NBA Dancer All-Star Team is set. Anyone else think it’s kind of lame that they made it all PC with one dancer from every team? Next year, it should be like the real All-Stars with everyone voting among all the cheerleaders in the league. I’m sure NBA.com would get a lot [...]
