Yes, Nash and Kobe are both playmakers but of very a different variety and serve the offense in very different roles. There is plenty of room in an offsense with two different types of playmakers, which is why I dont see them having the same problems as the Heat did in their first year. Smart / saavy veterans adapt and play well together, the Lakers will be much more like the first year "Big 3" Celtics than the first year "Big 3" Heat.

The Lakers free agent mash up looks great to me. Even defensively Nash isn't a liability when you have Dwight eclipsing the rim. |

Anyone watching Hall of Fame induction? Freakin Chet Walker. Funny guy. Said he and others went to court in the 60's and won what would lead to the start of free agency. Then said it allowed players to take their talents to Cleveland. LeBron is there too.
Then another time he spoke of his team and then asked Billy Cunningham to speak some words about him because he can't promote himself. |

Magic had another great small spot tonight on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel. Over the years seeing what he has accomplished and how many lives he has touched has been great. Completely transparent in this small snippet tonight and moving in the HBO documentary with him and Larry. He'll be one of those few sports figures that will actually affect my day when he passes. From HIV complications or a bus hitting him.
It's just that smile. As always it's there for 90% of his on camera time. It's infectious. |

Is the $120 for the 5 team, broadband only (don't even have cable) League pass deal worth it? The five team restriction isn't too painful since there are only a few I enjoy watching anyway but it still seems like a lot when I'm usually content with watching poor quality streams (no HDTV either).

I'd say if you have internet, save the $120 and use firstrowsports.
I'm not too confident that the Thunder will extend Harden by the end of October (which I believe is the deadline). If they don't, some team will give him a max deal, or close enough to it, that the Thunder won't be able to match . |

I don't think they should fine the players at all. Unless it's a hefty fine like $25K. $1K isn't going to hurt any of these players pocket books. I'm sure someone would take a $1K fine if it was able to make their team win in the final seconds.
What I think they should do is give them a foul. Then it limits their playing time if they do it too much. It's gotton out of control they past few years. |

Bk nets jerseys out: Way too simple/plain. But I'm sure some graphic designer would say the "clean look" has some hidden meaning or whatever. Being a nets fan since the early 90's, I've had to endure so many horrendous logo and jersey changes that I thought they would hit this one out of park.

I don't really mind them. It seems a bit lazy though, to go the "dark/tough" theme. Kind of like the Heat black and white alternates.
I like vibrant colors when put together simply and tastefully. |

Perhaps instead of fining players how about the refs stop calling fouls every time a player falls down. The only exception possibly being during a charge. Any other time, it's definitely more often horse crap and the player wasn't' touched much, definitely not touched enough to fall down.
I'd be happier seeing the no calls being made, that way it puts the guy falling at a disadvantage for that possession and hopefully it would make them to stop doing it. I just think at this level, with the size of the players, it should be blatantly obvious to an average person what would it take to knock one of these guys down. Hell, playing pickup ball at the gym we never see anything like this crap. When a guy falls, he was hit pretty good. When I mean hit, I mean 'part of the game' hit. |

Rasheed Wallace is coming out of retirement to sign with the Knicks. Camby, Kidd, Kurt Thomas and Wallace all on the same team.

So now flopping will be a team strategy. Save the flops for crucial moments, especially the playoffs.
Should be higher fines and no warning. Start at $25k at least and double from there. Looks like training camp is starting soon. |

My Knicks just signed Rasheed Wallace They now have at least 4 players over the age of 37. I don't even have the words. The guy hasn't played in 18 months.
