Happy NFL day to all, especially to those on the East coast who are dealing with the bad weather. Hanna is just starting to move into town up here so it will be a great day to sit in front of the TV (hoping the power does not go out.) If you have a moment please [...]

Well, the saga of Monta Ellis' injury is continuing and possibly coming to a close as the Contra Costa Times is reporting that he has come clean about how the injury happened. According to a team source, the Warriors now know that...

Labor day is approaching; the end of summer looms. One of the things I love about basketball is that it is played in the late fall and winter (when it’s dark, cold and rainy) and by the time spring has sprung, basketball is winding down. It’s completely over during Summer, which is perfect because it [...]

Nick Collison is a class act. I love his game, his defense and his no nonsense attitude toward the game. I know some people who know some people who were very close to the Sonics. The true inside info is that Collison is a gym rat. Nick and Luke Ridnour were in the gym in Seattle [...]

Oklahoma City waives Marshall OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—Forward Donyell Marshall won’t be making the move to Oklahoma City with the Seattle SuperSonics. The 14-year NBA veteran was waived Wednesday by the Oklahoma City franchise, which still hasn’t been renamed after its relocation last month. Marshall was acquired by the franchise from Cleveland in a three-team trade in February that [...]

Here’s a nice article in the Milwaukee paper about Luke Ridnour and his press conference after being introduced. Reading between the lines here towards the end of the article, it appears that Luke will have the inside track to being the opening day starter. Good for him. * http://www.jsonline.com/ By CHARLES F. GARDNER Milwaukee Journal Sentinel MILWAUKEE – Luke Ridnour [...]

It’s about time Ol’ trader Sam Presti finally did Luke the favor he deserved and traded him and Adrian Griffin to Milwaukee in a 6 player, 3 team trade, which netted us Desmond Mason and Joe Smith. This is a weird trade on so many levels. I’ve been thinking about it for a few hours now [...]

Kyle Weaver When OKC signed CJ miles to an offer, I thought no way does Utah match. Hence I thought we had seen the end of Gelly…Mickael Gelabale, who is coming off injury and had his contract expire. Well the offer was matched, no CJ. I suspected that wasn’t the last word on the 2 guard [...]

This just in from the OKC paper: Second-round pick DeVon Hardin is expected to sign with a team in Turkey. Under NBA rules, Oklahoma City can retain his draft rights for up to one year after his contract ends with his overseas team, allowing Oklahoma City to monitor his development and have the first chance [...]

Charly Rosen has written and posted an article at Foxsports about the dearth of old school, back to the basket, classic big men. It’s a great article and he takes the league’s Centers and puts them into categories. It’s significant that we have to scroll waaay down to the second half of the article to find [...]

http://www.sportsline.com/nba/story/10915237/rss This little story isn’t big news anywhere to most people, but it has significance to me. You see, only two other teams in the NBA have ponied up the moolah to buy their D-league team, the Lakers and the Spurs. Two fairly successful franchises of late (though I really really hate the Lakers). What this [...]

The Bobcats just re-signed Emeka Okafor to a ‘fatty’ contract of 72 Million for 6 years. I’m no math genius, but that’s in the neighborhood of 12 mil a year. Emeka is a nice player. I’d love to have him on the Sonics….err Thunder….err whatever they will be called, but 72 bills is far too many. [...]

I have been gone to BASIC training for 10 weeks and I am back to a civilian lifestyle. It was a real learning experience and I made friends there, but the most important thing for me was volunteering to serve the country at a time of its greatest need. I missed my hoops and at least was able to see TEAM USA implementing the dribble drive offense. It was a beautiful to see our country back on top in basketball where it deserves to be. Also, what can be said about Michael Phelps that hasnt alre...
