Dallas is definitely winning the blown-layup contest.

Yep, and suddenly Miami will come up with a way to guard Dirk without fouling him when nobody else has been able to.

What will we tell the children?

Have we talked about this? Your stereotypical striving "Hollywood" blonde and the guys who focus on bagging them exclusively for fear of what other guys think must find it threatening that Arnie seems to have been attracted to a heavy Latin housekeeper type. My guess is that while Maria Sh...

applause slowly builds to crescendo...wait, what?

Facebook is what it is. Annoying at times, but also a good way to stay in touch with people who see it as their main portal.

How long can Boozer keep up with the flagrants before he misses a game?

Both him and Adelman seem retread-y to me, but they both have records you can look at, and experience as head coach with big name players and egos. A satisfactory hire, which is probably all they were going to get right now anyway.

Not sure about offense either but he comes with a strong defensive rep.

Some of this piece reek of the worst chick priv-lit assumptions (as in, physical work takes a toll), but some excellent points nonetheless: Every so often, we’re required to attend a work-related charity auction or dinner party, and these affairs usually manage to be both dull and stressful. They’re...

Wow, that was a real loss of composure.

Bynum now has a huge thug/bitch reputation. But he's a healthy thug/bitch.

Kobe has 200 playoff games on the odometer. Protecting him and hoping his competitiveness would rub off on the rest of the team didn't work.

Is Fisher gone?

Not bad, not bad...Jeff's nudes in urban wasteland thing was interesting. Just needed to be more clipjoynty and less arty.

Funny. How old is he? The Heat really need somebody to take pressure off the...oh, WADE REJECTED!

I saw a high degree of difficulty. Mostly jumpers, but well defended. Some of that kick/entangle the defender shooting, but a lot more going on. The D could have tried harder to keep him from catching it with great position. Also, he'd put it on the floor and they couldn't deal. Overall a much craft...

Now you can call him the Sperminator.

Good to see a jock-oriented PSA discouraging the use of term "gay" to signify lame, stupid, odd or whatever.

I was rooting for Memphis, but the better team won for sure.
