- Red 94’s Jacob Mustafa discussing the possibility of the Lakers fading. “The 2010-2011 Los Angeles Lakers will still likely vie for a title; when has it not? But people have to understand that that is not enough. Being inured to something doesn’t mean that it will always be, a shame given how beautiful and graceful the Lakers offense can make basketball look at times. The way the team plays the game of basketball at its best will always draw in believers, and maybe we’re all just being led off the trail by a worried, but poised Jackson, trying to alleviate a bit of the pressure off of his team that’ll need some time. But that time is running short. The injuries, the internal worrying, the gift-wrapped Western Conference title from pundits -- the requisite omens have already arrived. Instead of expecting continued dominance, appreciate this Lakers team for what it is.”
- Ben Golliver on NBA F&R shows us that John Wall had two points, two assists and a steal in the span of 40 seconds. That’s actually pretty absurd.
- If Brendan Jackson of Celtics Hub has anything to say about the final roster spot for the Celtics, he’s going with Von Wafer over Stephane Lasme.
- Clyde Frazier laying on his gigantic circular bed and reading a book? Sure, why not?
- Bret LaGree of Hoopinion is looking at Joe Johnson’s defense this year to determine if his new contract is worth it or not.
- Here are the best minds covering the Orlando Magic doing what they do best: talking about the Orlando Magic.
- Were you wondering if John Wall is using screens better in preseason than he did in Summer League? The answer is kind of a mixed bag.
- Ron Lieber of the New York Times is trying to figure out how to save “One Shining Moment” from the recoil it garnered last season. Going to be really hard to find a suitable replacement for Luther.
- The future of basketball analysis on the internet might be video. So let me hit you with two excellent examples of this. Rob Mahoney of The Two Man Game looks at the play-making abilities of Dominique Jones and what he could mean to the Mavs this season. Then Gian Casimiro at Poasting and Toasting takes a look at the Knicks defensive rotations. The future is now.
- Eight Points, Nine Seconds looks at what this coming season means for Larry Bird in Indiana. Tim Donahue gives a fantastic breakdown.
- Andray Blatche in the post is more important than Gilbert Arenas anywhere.
- Beckley and Ethan have the preseason analyst blues over at HoopSpeak.
- Pounding the Rock is worried about the dilemma of hope with the Spurs.
- Josh Howard now has a blog. Yes, the Josh Howard from the Washington Wizards. Before you roll your eyes at another player blog that doesn’t say anything, you should check this one out. He actually opened up quite a bit and had some very interesting things to say.
- Tracy McGrady is sitting out the rest of the preseason? Of course he is.
- Wondering who the best trade chips on the market might be? Zach Lowe at the Point Forward knows the guys.
- Ethan Sherwood Strauss is definitely baiting some of us non-Anthony Randolph people with The Randolph Regret Index. I’ll play your games, you rogue.
- Mark Ginocchio at NAS remembers Drazen Petrovic. “More than 17 years later, with all of these reminders of Petro in front of me, I can think a little more clearly about it. Petro’s death was obviously an excruciatingly tragic event. Just as I bemoaned his mediocre play after coming back from a knee injury in 1993 as a lost opportunity for the Nets, fans around the world were deprived the chance to see more from a very special player. �With the influx of European players in the NBA, many of today’s fans likely missed out on seeing perhaps the best guard to ever come out from that continent.”
- Lastly, Free Darko has The Undisputed Guide To Pro Basketball History coming out pretty soon. And you’ll want to buy the book for sure. Just don’t forget the amazing artwork. They have prints on sale right now and they will make great Christmas gifts for you and your loved ones.
