First off: Carnival of the NBA hit the big #21 at YAYSports. To celebrate it's in two parts. Hopefully there will be less vomit involved than my own 21st.
Here's yet another good retrospective on Scottie Pippen.
For some reason I really enjoy checking out what's happening in the NBDL. While the Bulls have no players assigned there, other teams are using their affiliations. I'm a fan because I really want the concept to work: a true minor league, instead of the amateur sham at the NCAA. For this I hope The NBA Source posts more NBDL Happenings in the future. FreeDarko (in their typical bloviating style) recently put up a D-League related post regarding Julius Hodge.

Also, I'll be keeping an eye on Atlanta's Donta Smith, a second round pick in 2004 who I wrote about way back when after reading some eyebrow-raising comments aimed at him by Rick Pitino after Smith went in that draft instead of to Pitino's Louisville.

hmm

i've got to say, I'm sorry I follwed your first link, since that "Yay Sports" blogger isn't exactly as funny as he thinks he is. Dissing Hollinger for having no life since he actually analyses basketball numbers is the sort of stuff one would expect to hear in the playground, not in a grown-up discussion about basketball.

I'm not even clear whether his post is some kind of parody or not, since it's neither funny nor original either way.

Hollinger's stuff is very interesting (even if I have trouble with some of his projections), and is a considerable leap up from ESPN's typical basketball coverage.

that hollinger post

was terrible.

It actually was posted by a guest blogger though, so I won't hold it against YAYSports. The guy's usually damned funny.

guest blogger

ah, yes, i didn't notice it was a guest blogger; thanks for pointing that out. the other posts are actually pretty funny, so i'm glad you linked it (the carnival is good too).

i still hold it against YAYSports for selecting the guest blogger though. but then, i'm not very forgiving.
