(Site update- sorry for the lack of posts recently, I've been working on a couple things. Tomorrow, we'll have Extended Links, Thursday Night Lock it up, and a Mayweather-Marquez preview. Friday-- Lock it up Weekend Picks. Next week-- we'll start previewing the NBA season (only a little more than a month away) with a very special Extended Archives treat from 2008 Draft Night, a.k.a. The Night We Got Derrick Rose, and then we'll start previewing all 30 NBA teams.)
Couldn't agree more with Skeets; this is the best Jordan commercial
Ball Don't Lie
This ridiculously in-depth post explains just how bad Tressel's play calling was Saturday night.
Doc Saturday
More fun with Omer Asik-- Doug Thonus breaks down his performances at Eurobasket in great detail. Also of note-- Doug wrote this before last night's Turkey-Serbia tilt, and Asik continued his miserable free throw shooting, going 1 for 10 at the line. I'm not overly concerned about it considering it looks like he's got some natural touch and FT shooting is generally pretty easy to improve, but 1 for 10 is just God awful.
Chicago Bulls Confidential
The triumphant return of Tawmmy from Quinzee. Also, my personal feelings on the two "questionable" roughing the passer calls that went against New England last night? The one on Wilfork was complete bullshit, but the one on Thomas was the right call; he picked up and threw Edwards down after the whistle had blown. Sure, his momentum of the tackle probably started before the whistle blew, but when you put how vicious the throw down looked with the fact that the whistle was blowing to stop the play dead, that's going to get called 100% of the time.
Kissing Suzy Kolber
Mayweather-Marquez is this Saturday... Who ya got? More on this fight later in the week. My initial thoughts-- I'm much more excited for Pacquiao-Cotto in November.
Bad Left Hook
As kind of a follow up to something I touched on in yesterday's Iverson post, here's a look at the potential usage rates for the Grizzlies next year. With AI and Z-Bo now in the fold along with O.J Mayo, Memphis has three really high usage players. Basically, something has to give, whether it's less shots for them, Iverson as the 6th man, or both. And I think Iverson can do both. Also, for everyone saying to me "Iverson's still in a circus in Memphis with Mayo and Randolph," I don't buy it. Randolph may be a lot of things, but from everything I've gathered he's always gotten along with his teammates and always plays hard, and Mayo has behaved professionally both at USC and in Memphis (pun intended with the professional behavior at USC, considering he was paid and all).
