Tuesday’s Layup Drill

by Matt Watson on Mar 11, 2008 1:41 PM EDT

It's been awhile, let's hit the links.

From A. Sherrod Blakely:

Rasheed was able to do some shooting and light running drills with the team's strength and conditioning coach Arnie Kander this morning, but it's still up in the air as to whether he'll play tomorrow.

"So-so" was how he described his sprained left ankle when I asked him how it felt. "It's going to be a game-timer," Wallace said. "Who knows."

He's going to leave the door open to play tomorrow night, but I suspect the Pistons will shut him down for another game so that he'll be as healthy as possible for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Mark Cuban says bloggers are no longer allowed in the Mavs' locker room ...
... which Henry Abbott thinks is just ridiculous.
David Stern does not care about your loyalties.
A sneak peek of the new Motor City Blogs.
LeBron James, providing hope for stalkers everywhere. I'm not sure if it speaks more to his poor judgment or inflated ego.
If Kobe Bryant were a superhero, he'd be Batman. I'd remind you of the whole female comic book villain thing, but I want to keep things positive for Kobe Bryant Blog Day and all.

excuse my vulgarity, but why is today suck kobe bryant’s dick day? granted, for most of the basketball media it’s every day, but where the hell did this come from? it’s boring hearing about kobe over and over again, and if the nba thinks it’s wise to put so many eggs in his notoriously douche-baggy basket they’re insane.

it would be more interesting to have a kobe blakcout day. then stephen a. smith and mark jackson wouldn’t have anything to talk about.

Kyle: I think it was a random grassroots thing by Hardwood Paroxysm, but I’m not sure. But yeah, not sure he’s really a guy that needs much pub.

it’s like a grass roots campaign to celebrate wal-mart.

Have you guys heard about this fantastic up-and-coming rapper called Eminem? He’s bound to be big, so listen to him before everyone on your block does.

Oh, and there’s this little-known series called The Sopranos about mobsters that you might want to check out. It sort of flew under the radar and it’s on DVD now, but you might be able to find it at your local video store or on NetFlix.

Tell all of your friends to do an Internet search for this chick named Britney Spears. She’s crazy! No one seems to be covering her, but if you dig a little bit you can come up with some information, and maybe even a picture.

Tommorrow I’ll tip you off to some other little-known trends that will make the people around you think you’re very hip for discovering!

Tom Ziller’s “David Stern Does Not Need You” . . . outstanding.

Also, I agree with Henry Abbott. Cuban waxes largely too irresponsible to his own franchise’s duty to hand out credentials. If his front office has that much difficulty telling the difference, then perhaps it’s time for Cuban to find new people to handle the duties.

PS – Joe Dumars is ranked by ESPN’s ‘experts’ as the 10th best SG/2 of all-time.

If you can’t guess who’s #1, lol . . .

So question…if bloggers are banned from the Mavericks locker room, and Mark Cuban with all of his infinite wisdom cannot figure out how to differentiate between one blogger and the next, then does that mean that Mark Cuban has banned himself from his own locker room?

And PDX, thanks for the heads up on those! Speaking of crazy broads, have you heard anything about this woman Anna Nicole Smith??? Apparently she was killed and now they’re trying to figure out who the father of her baby is! INSANE!
