Ballin’: Joakim Noah’s Got Problems
NBA January 14th. 2008, 9:15am
Atlanta 105, Chicago 84: Remember all those times Joakim Noah would do all those douchy (endearing?) things at Florida? Fans loathed him, and now his teammates in Chicago do, too! They voted him off the team (for one game) after the highly-efficient (and often tardy) center did or said something to an assistant coach. Bummer about that season, fellas.
New York 89, Detroit 65: Obviously we can’t hammer the Pistons here, because their sensitive fans will get angry, but also because this is a likely result of four road games in five nights. Prince and Rip combined to shoot 1-for-17.
Golden State 106, Indiana 101: That’s a wrap to a 1-4 road trip for the lottery-bound Pacers. Baron (29 points) and Monta (27 points) took over in the fourth. Further proof Jermaine O’Neal still has trade value: 27 points, nine boards, six blocks.
New Orleans 87, Houston 82: What to make of all those T-Mac trade rumors? He scoffs. We don’t. Huge T-Mac fans here, but we concede he is a brittle star, and despite all his talent, the guy hasn’t really made it happen in the postseason. It’s sad.
Toronto 116, Portland 109, 2 OT: Chris Bosh needn’t make anymore videos touting his All-Star candidacy because the dude’s on fire: 38 points and 14 rebounds two days after dropping 40 on the Knicks. Brandon Roy, he of the bruised tailbone, went for a career-high 33, including a clutch triple to force the second overtime.

I take it the title of Ballin’ is a tribute to Jenna Jameson

If only I was that creative

The team took a vote? We did that in JV basketball:
“What do you guys think is fair here?”

Any updates on those reports over the weekend that Dolan is leaning towards firing Isiah? Is he still leaning or did he drink a V8 this morning?
January 14th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Dolan wants Jason Garrett for the job
January 14th, 2008 at 9:33 am
Kangaroo court in the pros. Who knew? Isiaah probably won’t get fired because he just led the Knicks to a huge victory in Detroit. This anomaly will delude Dolan into thinking there is hope.

Not sure I’ve ever heard of teammates voting a player into suspension — maybe next time they’ll do away with him altogether. You ARE the weakest link. Goodbye!

Go ahead and hammer them. If you lose to the Knicks, you deserve it. I think it is about time for that mid-year mail it in month when the team goes .500 for a few weeks. I hate the whole “they are tired from traveling” shit. As if they are carrying thier own bags and missing exchanges.

4 road games in 5 nights is no excuse for losing to the Knicks.
I threw a couple of votes Chris Bosh’s way after last night. Day-um.

Why is David Stern standing next to Carrot Top?

ive heard, probably a big rumor, that gilbert arenas was interested in going to Orlando
that would be nice for next year, but we still need a legit 2 guard now
January 14th, 2008 at 11:25 am
can you please link to the rumor? Financially, how do you see this working out? Gil makes good money, who would they give away in return to come close to matching salaries?
