A Little More on Lineup Flexibility
I did some more thinking this morning and figured it's worth expanding a bit something I mentioned in the earlier post:[Larry Brown is] kind of tied to his conception of what the team should be every night instead of thinking creatively about what the different pieces on hand can do in different...
2008 Men's Olympic Basketball Preview: Spain
With the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics already in the books and basketball tipping off on the 10th, it's good that these Olympic previews are winding down. Fellow SB Nation blog At the Hive will wrap things up tomorrow with a look at a team that comes from a country which rhymes with...

Assorted Thoughts on the 2008 NBA Playoffs
The Guy I Underrated the Most Prior to the PlayoffsHonorable Mention - Rip Hamilton. Man he's an assassin. On top of that he cared throughout the Celtics series, which did not appear to be the case for some of his teammates. Now on to the winner. Even after he made the All Star team and dropped 37...
Shaq Attack: Target - Kobe Bryant
First off I'd like to give a shout out (the free styling is currently having a big impact on my writing) to Parquet Pride for the two stories I'm about to reference. 1.

Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Game 6 - In Praise of James Posey
If there was one thing that bothered me tonight it was the fact that people did not praise James Posey enough, despite Jeff Van Gundy's best efforts, following the Celtics victory. Even Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and KG did give the man enough credit. To review: - Posey took a short term, less than...
Assorted Kobe Thoughts
This night is about the Celtics. It will be a long time before I get over the 131 points they dropped on the Lakers. Still I'd like to touch on a few Kobe Bryant related points. Like it or not he's a massive figure in the NBA. - I found this post comparing Kobe Bryant to Dirk Nowitzki interesting....
Paul Pierce Finals MVP
Even David Stern called him The Truth. Now I've seen everything. And Pierce thanked the fans. Well done.
Boston Celtics: NBA Champions
Congrats to the Boston Celtics. They earned it and didn't leave any doubt about it. Well done. Much more later. For now I'm just going to watch the recap and figure out when the parade is. Has a NBA coach ever gotten the Gatorade dump?
Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Game 6 - Open Game Thread
Before I go any further I'd be remiss if I did not bring up the whole Jemele Hill thing. She wrote an article (this is the edited one) in which she compared rooting for the Celtics to something to do with Hitler. Odd. The guys at Red's Army were all over it. Of course ESPN eventually apologized and...
