- Isolation offense has been a big focus on TrueHoop lately, and here comes insight that the Celtics do not isolate much. And when they do, it frequently ends in a pass. Just more evidence that's one of the best teams in the NBA.
- I'm entirely out of the loop, and don't even know what inspired this, but I know most NBA players aren't tweeting like Spencer Hawes is: "Protesters outside of cnn headquarters. 'Shame on CNN'! I'm with u guys. #CommunistNewsNetwork."
- Peter D. Newmann of ESPN Statistics and Information Research is looking at the Cavaliers when he points out: "No team in NBA history has gone from best to worst in the NBA from one year to the next."
- Marquis Daniels' injury hurts the Celtics where they're thinnest, and they have precious little to trade.
- This is old, but who cares. The Onion breaks news of a Clippers/Blazers trade.
- Basketball-Reference wants your input in a crowd-sourcing project, featuring some deep stat-geekery, to determine the best player in NBA history. Right now LeBron James is drafting behind Kevin McHale.
- Brian Kamenetzky of ESPNLosAngeles is high on Andrew Bynum, but not so high he wouldn't move him for Carmelo Anthony given a chance.
- As Bill Russell would tell you, puking can be part of great nights on the basketball court.
- Carlos Boozer vs. the Jazz, and his own reputation.
- In a Suns uniform, Marcin Gortat puts up enormous numbers.
- Carmelo Anthony scored a ridiculous 50 points on 24 shots, and didn't even travel. If the Nuggets had managed the win, he'd be the talk of the league today.
- Johnny V, a commenter on the L.A. Times' website: "I have Ron Ron on my mind this morning. That was quite a shot he took in last nights' game. I can tell you that when I have been struck in the face inadvertently, I felt a rush of rage that is difficult to explain. Nice job containing that Ron. He knew that [Marc Gasol's] shot was inadvertent but still, he is human and the urge to retaliate is a strong one. He has tried so hard to rebuild his image and I'm glad it didn't end there. Ron will have to face the music one day though. Players know that Ron doesn't want to make trouble. One day he may have to let the league know that it's not ok to bang on Ron Ron."
- David Thorpe gets a lot of questions that are NOT about the NBA. For instance is your high-school daughter shooting too many 3s? Is your jumper drifting left? Wondering if you can coach "touch"? He will provide short answers to your short non-NBA questions along these lines on Twitter, where he has a new account just for that purpose: @askcoachthorpe. (Also note that, while Thorpe is undeniably stepping up his Twitter game, with two accounts, he still does ... not ... follow ... anybody. He has Twitter in case he wants to say something, OK? Not in case you want to say something.)
- Brook Lopez is back to scoring the basketball.
- Is it time for the NBA to do more to protect players against concussions?
- Basketbawful: "Cleveland's Ryan Hollins is seven feet tall. Jason Terry is 6-2. With the Cadavers trailing by a single point, with under nine minutes to go in the game, which of these two men do you suppose won a crucial jump ball? Yep."
- Despite yoga, Shawn Marion says he hasn't touched his toes in more than a decade.
- What if rookie Kwame Brown could have gone to the D-League? Would that have changed anything?
- NBA teams with stats departments seem to win more than NBA teams without stats departments.
- Andre Miller razzes LaMarcus Aldridge. Brandon Roy, in a manner, taunts him ... by refusing to say anything deferential about fitting into Portland's semi-successful Aldridge-led system. Reporters ask every which way, but Roy won't play along with any theory that he's due to limit his role.
