Nah, Bruce Bowen wasn't involved here. The guys just ran into each other.

no. parker started driving right when nash leaned forward and in to try and strip the ball.

It was a joke.

So was my reply. Kind of.

Steve Kerr says it's not true and he hasn't fired D'Antoni. We'll see what happens there.

I think maybe Steve Kerr should be the one fired for that Shaq acquisition.

Maybe they should fire Shaq.

What I've heard is that D'Antoni isn't being fired, but rather it's being suggested to him that he resign.

You're next Hornets!

Bill Simmons' new article about the Suns is pretty good, and sums up the feelings about the Spurs well:

If the Spurs were the Team of the Decade, no wonder ratings dwindled until the league's big comeback this season. The real shame is that all the mugging, acting, eye-rolling, flopping, rule-bending and hysterical shrugging obscured what should have been remembered as a throwback sports team, a shrewdly assembled roster of well-coached guys who played beautifully together, didn't care about credit and revolved around the best power forward who ever played. Instead, we'll remember them as the team that turned the NBA Playoffs into the World Cup. Congratulations, fellas.
