Is Baron Davis Smashing Kate Hudson?

While this doesn't bother me (she suffers from NoAssAtAll), Hardwood Paroxysm isn't feeling this. At. All.

The Right Way To Say "Sorry"

Currently holding the last place spot in the Pacific Division, the L.A. Clippers are a shell of the team that surprised many fans a couple of seasons ago. I guess the Clippers' front office realized this, and decided to say sorry...


...by offering up some bikini-clad beach shots of the Clipper Spirit Dance Team! I guess being a fan of a team that's 10-21 a month away from the All-Star break has some great perks, namely Summer, Taylor & Ashley.

Something's Gotta Give

Should I even bother going on about this game, the 8th game lost at the IZOD Center in the last 8 home games played? The continued downward slide we're on? The fact that, with about 1 and a half minutes left in the 4th, we had only scored 5 points? Or is it the airball that Carter threw up in the 4th (boo, Vince, boo)? When the deal went down, the scoreboard read 91-82, and no matter how many $10 ticket deals the Nets throw out there, no one is trying to watch the home team lose. If the starting 5 can't show up to play, why should they expect the fans to?

What's the point of playing? What's good with 32% shooting from the field? Not surprising to anyone, Jason Kidd got another triple-deuce, and Sean Williams did not play. Speaking of Kidd, during the ESPN Coast To Coast coverage, the big discussion was on Dallas now wanting to get Jason Kidd if a trade situation came up (even though other sources say this isn't going down), but my thing is, I'm not sure if Kidd wants to really do that. The whole "end where I started" mantra is nice, but you also left on ill terms. Why go back? It may sound like I'm pleading... I am.

And I'm not supposed to panic? I guess the good news is that the Nets' Brooklyn Arena won't be up until 2010 now. I wonder if Jay-Z will perform "Hello Brooklyn 2.0" to celebrate?

The Bulls Win! 2-6

Look who turned in a solid performance...Ben Wallace made me eat my words by turning in the type of game that I expect from him on a nightly basis - 9 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks, 6 steals, and 1 assist. I have no problem eating my words and hope to do it on a regular basis. Good job, Big Ben.

Ben Gordon and Andres Nocioni both had good games as well. Gordon had 25 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and a block; Nocioni chipped in with 21 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, a block, and a nice flagrant foul that rattled the Clippers. One thing that I can say about Nocioni is that he is a scrappy guy who gets under the skin of everyone he plays against. He's definitely the kind of guy who you love to have on your team and hate to play against.



It ain't all peaches and cream though...bad news on the home front is that Luol Deng is going to be missing in action due to a back injury that forced him out of last night's game. He was on his way to a good game as he contributed 10 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and a block in 27 minutes of action before being sidelined. This is not the news that Bulls fans want to hear and hopefully the injury isn't too severe and he returns to action quickly. Point guard play continues to be an issue as our starting point guard dished out 4 assists while coughing the ball up 3 times. That isn't a terrific assist-to-turnover ratio, for those of you counting at home. Four shots made out of fourteen attempts isn't helping the team cause either. Kirk - get it together, QUICKLY. Tyrus Thomas appears to be chained to the bench and that fact bothers me. Eight minutes of action? I know that we got great play out of our starting front court, but only eight minutes for Ty? The bench play was pretty much non-existant; although I do appreciate Chris Duhon's 4:1 assists-to-turnovers. Is Thabo on our team any more?

The Bulls did a good job of containing the Clippers last night. Cuttino Mobley was kept in check and didn't play nearly as well as he did in the United Center. Chris Kaman was held to single-digit rebounds and only three players on the Clippers reached double figures.

This was a much needed and good win for Chicago. Next up for the Bulls will be Kobe Bryant's Lakers. It should be an interesting game to say the least.
