Word is that Samb returned to Detroit early this week for some dentistry. Sounded like he’ll stay with the Pistons, since he can’t do any playing in Fort Wayne.

I like Hubie Brown. You gotta be thinking the guy’s style is not particularly enjoyable, but also he is the type of broadcaster who brings tremendous substance to the game *head nod to Rob G*. I love his analysis, as I find it to be usually spot on. I find Hubie pointing out trends/patterns I totally miss, which is something I really enjoy hearing and rarely find from NBA commentators.

Dang Mike Payne, that Walton dig was kind of harsh. Next thing I know, you’ll be saying when he was a gangly teenager he was the male lead in this movie:

I gotta say, you guys are the funniest group of fans, which helps make DBB one of my favourite pit stops. The comments always crack me up.

About Samb: I remember a few years ago when Dirk lost a tooth on national TV. He got hit on the baseline, and came up with his hand to his mouth. Then he grabbed his front tooth and popped it out. Where toothless happens.

I agree Kyl. I want to fight that little VanGremlin with knives. I just trademarked “VanGremlin”, btw.

As for Bill Walton, did anyone see his cameo in “300″? I’m surprised at what a great physical actor he is.

If I’m Hubie Brown, you gotta be thinking, “How can I change point of view more than four times in one of your sentences? How do you see things from more than just my perspective?”

Hubie has fans here, my man … if only because he lends himself to a mean “Skeletor” parody.

I don’t know if you saw this, but:

Gus Johnson “grew up admiring George Blaha.”

Granted he also said that he would want to announce a b-ball game with Hubie Brown. I chose to look at the good.

Isaiah proving he’s always had a problem knowing what was appropriate to say. It reminded me that it’s no wonder people keep cutting Isaiah so much slack, Bobby Knight was his college coach. He’s probably so obviously psychologically scareed that people have no choice but to continually give him second chances, like Micheal Jackson.

Too Bad Arnie Kander isn’t there to magic them back into his jaw. Arnie Kander is a wizard.
