A Poll

I remember 3-4 years ago, NBA.com had a poll concerning both the Dallas Mavericks and the Memphis Grizzlies. Dallas were on their 14 or so game win streak while Memphis were on their 14 or so losing streak. The poll asked which team would lose their streak first, Memphis or Dallas. Today I pose the same question. Rockets are rolling in hope of a 13th consecutive victory while Miami has lost 11 in a row. Who do you think will crack?

I think NBA is the most photogenic sport. You get really amazing shots from the backboard camera. Thought I'd just add this cos it's funny too:


It's an Oreo!

What happened to Stephon Marbury?

Moments ago, Dwight did this:



Even more hilarious though is this campaign pitch from D-how.

Don't even talk to me about the Slam Dunk Contest. I'd vote Dwight for president!

Holy Crap

Chris Wilcox got hops!

All I need right here

I think it was 2 or 3 years ago that Ivan and I were stewing on the lack of decent centers in the game. It was during a time where the O' Neals of Indiana and Miami were the dominant forces in the game and Ben Wallace was in the midst of his Defensive Player of the Year streak.

3 Years on and how vastly different the landscape of big men in the NBA has become. You have game-breakers like Marcus Camby (almost certain to retain Defensive POTY honors), Chris Kaman (almost certain to earn Most Improved), and Al Jefferson (22ppg/12reb) all missing out on all-star honors all because of the sheer depth in center value going around right now.

Coupled with that is the stop-and-start seasons from Pau Gasol, Elton Brand and Brad Miller (currently in vintage form) and the latent talent of potential greatness in Andrew Bynum, Lamarcus Aldridge and Al Horford - suffice to say, the state of the C position in the NBA right now is too much to handle.
