Defending the Stats: Why Box Score Numbers Work-... →
This deftly written article by Kevin Pelton examines the value of advanced stats and box scores.
In case you live in a cave, this all got started because the stat guys hate Melo and the old-school basketball guys love him and everyone wants to know his true value. Me personally, I think you trade for him if given the offer pretty much no matter what you have to give up for him. I think almost...

No Boozer?!?!
NO PROBLEM!!!
Um, Santonio Holmes
In a non basketball related post, that TD catch was as impressive if not more so than the Super Bowl winning catch… my god…

Baron, Blake, Lamar, and Artest all ejected!
Doesn’t matter. Clippers won. Yeah, that’s right. The Clippers.

What should I do?
– -LeBron James….
NOT in a Nike commercial, but rather to Dwayne Wade about playing against Chicago. According to the ESPN article, Wade responded with, “We’ve got a good enough team to make sure that before you get back on the court that you’re healthy [enough] to be who you...

So the Heat just lost again...
You know, with LeBron out of the lineup, the Heat look awfully familiar…

OMG that Blake Griffin dunk in the 4th!!!
Suck it, Chalmers
UPDATE: THE CLIP SHOW BRINGS A COLD FRONT TO THE HEAT!!!
Brian Scalabrine
The United Center was just chanting, “SCAL-A-BRIN-E,” including Noah and Boozer, trying to get him into the game. HI-LARIOUS.
UPDATE: He’s entered the game and the United Center went NUTS. Every time he touches the ball, the place is cheering like crazy.
UPDATE x2: No, like EVERY TIME he touches the ball.
UPDATE x3: He scored the last Chicago points. Roof just came off the...
