First this happened. Then this happened.
The Mikki Moore era is about to begin. Alert your local reptile dealer! This from John Eligon’s great little New York Times feature from 2006. Growing up in Gaffney, S.C., Moore, a self-professed country boy, used to find snakes in his grandmother’s backyard. When he returned home for the summer while at the University of [...]
That incredulous looking point guard is headed to the Kings for a second-round pick. On a completely unrelated note, everybody should check out Michael Lewis’ New York Times Magazine story about Shane Battier, the Houston Rockets and statistical analysis in the NBA. It’s been making the rounds on the Internet over the past few days. [...]
First the above happened. Then Boston College beat Duke. I was lucky enough to be in attendance at Conte Forum Sunday. While I understand the blather about Boston being a PRO SPORTS TOWN, the place was rocking. Whether that atmosphere can be recreated is unclear, but the Eagles join fellow ACC school Wake Forest as [...]
Nice win for the C’s. A victory tonight would give ‘em a huge boost heading into the break. Speaking of which, lucky for Boston, there appears to be no break for Ray Allen. From Marc Spears of the Globe: NEW ORLEANS – With his right hand wrapped in black tape, Ray Allen looked more like [...]
Hey, DWill checking in with a couple leftover notes from the weekend. Ray Allen made a trip to UConn on Saturday to watch his alma mater play Michigan. And the All-Star was a little surprised at what he discovered: Ultra-intense Huskies coach Jim Calhoun has mellowed, a little. “I don’t think he could have kept [...]
Long day for the Green. Good day for Matt Bonner. Losses to the Lakers and Spurs — by a combined seven points — shouldn’t induce panic. So let’s lighten up the mood. Quite frankly, Andy Samberg’s career peaked with “Lazy Sunday”. But this week’s offering, “I’m on boat”, featured T-Pain and name checked a Celtics [...]
I take back what I said about Kendrick Perkins. Tim Duncan still has 20, but Perk stuffed the Spurs center on a laup attempt towards the end of the third quarter. It was pretty impressive. It’s 76-74 heading into the fourth quarter. Unlike the game, the point guard matchup between Tony Parker and Rajon Rondo [...]
Hey everyone. David Willis making his much anticipated (yeah right) return to Hub Hoops. I’m checking in from Boston for some halftime thoughts on the matchup between the two most recent NBA champions, the Celtics and Spurs. San Antonio is ahead 60-52 at the break. Ray Allen’s made San Antonio’s Manu Ginobili look bad at times in [...]
