I have never seen Bill Walton play a single game and I don’t care much about basketball. Still I find the latest Bill Simmons ESPN Podcast absolutely fascinating. To listen to him talk just makes you smile.

The Knicks are bad. I know that, we all know that. But there is no way they are supposed to be 30 points worse than the Celtics.

i think Isaiah Thomas has a bet with his friends to get fired this season, and is doing everything possible to lose his job. you might think that's pretty easy to do, but when you have James Dolan as your boss you have to get pretty creative.

Outside of any New York Knick, I never want to hear another athlete ever called "overpaid" again when Phil Jackson is making $12 million a year to coach.

This offer gives Andy an opt out after the 2nd season. Apparently it was something the Cavs didn't want to do. Billy King is bad, but some of his counterparts are not much better....McHale, Isiah, etc. Hell, I was watching an 80's celtics game the other day, and it was like a bad GM meet and greet on the floor. Ainge may have gotten lucky this year, but he's still a pisspoor GM. |

I am not sure I understand the timing of the King firing. Oh he defintely deserved to be fired. However, he deserved to be fired before the draft. If you let him draft three first round picks , you might as well let him stick around.

Cavs match the furry headed Brazillian's offer. I liked Gilbert Arena's take on the situation in his blog.
Anyone else think the Kings are trying to tank this season? Bibby out a further month or more with a thumb injury, and now Kevin Martin is out 4-6 weeks with a groin injury. Abdur-Rahim is also out with knee problems. Kings are currently 7-10, but figure to do much worse with Martin out.

The Kings really should make a push for Beasley/Mayo/Rose. If they could trade Bibby and Artest this season and get a few more younger players, they could reload relatively quickly. Petrie will just have to attach guys like Thomas and/or Abdur Rahim along with the "better" players. |

Kidd is supposedly on strike right now wanting to either be traded or get a contract extension. Thats the real reason he didn't play last night.

I'm so tired of Bill Walton's commentary on Kobe. We all know he's just defending the Lakers because his son plays for them.

Celts vs Pistons tonight at the Palace. Should be another great game between the East elite. I expect to see more Tony Allen on Billups than the last game, after Billups tore Rondo up in the second half. Hopefully Ray Allen puts last night behind him and goes off for 30+ and the C's win! Go Celts!

Hopefully they will go back and review the other games. This team needs all the help it can get. Depressing.

Joakim Noah benched for a couple of games by the Bulls players for talking back to an assistant coach. Apparently it's not the first of his problems either, as he has been late several times this year and was criticized earlier in the year by former coach Skiles for some comments he made after a loss he was DNP-CD'ed in. I didn't really expect that from Noah, but looks like he's got some maturing to do.
Also, Bynum is out for 8 weeks with knee issues which figures to pretty much put an end to the great basketball the Lakers have been playing. |

So is this a case of Noah getting the blame for a horrific season so far? I am not surprised by Noah's actions as he has proven to be capable of over the top behavior. It seems to be that Noah is being made a scapegoat. As much as it pains me to say it, I agree with Jay Mariotti http://www.suntimes.com/sports/mario...1408c2.article

I (and others here) predicted he would be an awful player for being a lottery pick back in the draft thread months ago. It was painfully obvious to me then, and it still is now.

That's the thing. It was so freakin' obvious. I kept trying to figure out for months why scouts rated him so high.

I knew he wouldn't be a "lottery player" (ie. potential star), but I thought he'd be (and still do) an "energy guy" role player like Anderson Varejao. Not a good fit for what Chicago needed and thus a bad pick for them, but he'd help a number of teams lower in the 1st round.
What I didn't expect to see was him causing so many problems early on, but I guess you can never tell with guys once they hit the NBA, because it's not like Noah and co have ever had to suffer through being on bad teams before. |

Um, wow. I just checked the NBA standings and the Lakers are the best team in the West. That figures to change with Bynum out for a while yet, but if the regular season ended today and there were no playoff rounds, we'd have ourselves a Lakers-Celtics final!
