ESPN announcers say fans' perceptions of bias are typical

 http://www.sports.com/
If you’re a fan of the Miami Heat or Dallas Mavericks and start believing over the next two weeks that ABC’s broadcast crew of Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson is rooting against your team, you’re probably not alone.

You’re also wrong, according to the announcers, who say they hear complaints about their alleged favoritism all the time.


Breen and Jackson were responding to questions from an Oklahoma City reporter, who implied Thunder fans believed the broadcast team was pulling for the Mavs during the Western Conference finals.

“There's no way in the world that we have anything against the Oklahoma City Thunder,” Jackson said.

“... Our job is to speak the facts. The facts are that a couple of games in the series there were breakdowns, and they didn't play as well as they could have played. They had a couple of games won, and they did not win them. But they had a great season, and they should be extremely proud.”

Breen added, “I think overall broadcasts are more critical in the playoffs in terms of what a team is doing and what a certain player is doing. And I think that's why sometimes the fans might be a little sensitive, because also their emotions are running high.”

Jackson and Breen both said a perception of bias is very common among fans.

“Almost every series. It's amazing,” Breen said. “We'll go into the NBA Finals and just say, for example, last year, we'll go into Boston and the Celtic fans will say, ‘Boy, it's clear you guys are rooting for the Lakers,' and then the series will shift to L.A., and the Laker fans will say, ‘Boy, it's obvious you guys are rooting for the Celtics.' That's just part of the job, and I've talked to announcers who do the World Series or a Super Bowl, and they get a lot of the same stuff.”

“I think that happens not just every series but every game,” Jackson added.

Threat of NBA lockout puts damper on Thunder offseason

Kevin Durant sat in Thunder headquarters Thursday, about 14 hours after the end of his season, and declared that it would be OK with him if we started next season right now.

“I know it sounds crazy,” Durant said, “but I’m ready to get back to work already for next year.”
Where do we all sign up?
The Thunder’s wondrous ride to the Western Conference Finals ended with a double thud. Defeat at the hands of the Mavericks, followed by fear of the unknown.
After the Miami-Dallas Finals and the June 23 draft, no one knows when NBA basketball will return. Labor negotiations appear to be going nowhere fast, a July 1 lockout is virtually assured and the chances of an on-time start to next season seem slim.
“Seems like a deadline is what makes people negotiate,” Nick Collison said.
He’s right, of course. The NFL is Exhibit A. Rather than sit down and talk it out, football’s players and owners would rather lawyer up and dance in the courts. Would rather call each other names in the media, where we are glad to report whatever they say.
Will we have pro football come September? Will we have pro basketball come November? There is no reason for optimism.
What a drag on Thunder momentum. The city and the state has gone crazy over the Durantulas. The still-ridiculously-young Thunder might be the West favorite next season. And yet NBA arenas, most notably ours, could be dark for who knows how long, even after hoops season has arrived.
Bad for business and bad for basketball. Just when you teach Oklahomans they can’t live without the NBA, you offer them a chance to do exactly that.
The last NBA work stoppage came in 1998-99, when play resumed in February, tipping off a 50-game season for each team. Anyone interested in waiting until February to see Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka play again?
“Hopefully we’ll have a season at the regular time,” Durant said. “Kind of tough to figure out. I just don’t know. It’s up in the air. But I have confidence we can get something going.”
More youthful exuberance from the Thunder. Never seems to run out, whether the Boomers are off on a fast break or talking collective bargaining.
“It’s tough going into an offseason not knowing,” said Thabo Sefolosha. “At the same time, I’m pretty optimistic we’ll figure it out. Hopefully won’t be locked out too long.”
Frankly, some places could use a regular-season reprieve. A shortened season would be perfect for the Lakers and Spurs and Celtics, older teams that seemed haggard by the playoffs. In basketball-destitute cities like Detroit and Minneapolis, a lockout might go unnoticed.
But in Miami, Year 2 of LeBron? In Dallas, coming off, at worst, its second West title ever? In Orlando, for what could be Dwight Howard’s final year in the kingdom? In Chicago, where homegrown Derrick Rose holds court? In Memphis, where after 10 years in town the Grizzlies have been discovered?
In Oklahoma City, where watching the Thunder 99 nights a year quickly became standard operating procedure?
Say it ain’t so. A season we wish could start early appears to be dead set on starting late, if at all.

Couch Slouch: Everything you need to know about the NBA Finals

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/
so, will Pat Riley regain his rank as smartest hair-and-tan in sports? Or will Mark Cuban — a.k.a. “When I Die, I Want To Come Back As Me,” a.k.a. Smarmy Is As Smarmy Does, a.k.a. Greed Is Good — finally get the crowning achievement of his post-pubescent life?

The Heat-Mavericks NBA Finals are here. We are also here to tell you about them:
The games are on ABC, in the capable hands of Mike Breen, Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy. A generation ago, Dick Enberg, Billy Packer and Al McGuire set the standard for a three-man basketball booth. As much as I miss McGuire — an American original — this grouping is superior. Breen is a solid play-by-play voice, with a playful sensibility. Jackson and Van Gundy each would be good alone, and each makes the other better. I never invite anyone into my home to watch games with me — my sultry wife Toni, in fact, usually leaves to seek safe harbor elsewhere — but any of these gents is welcome anytime.

I should take a moment out here to give a nod to TNT’s Marv Albert. I love Mike Breen, but it seems like a crime against basketball nature that Albert doesn’t call the NBA Finals. Albert, who will turn 70 in June, still delivers as smart and measured a call of any basketball broadcaster ever. Unlike some of his younger, juiced-up peers such as serial screamers Gus Johnson and Kevin Harlan, Albert understands precisely when to raise the level of his voice.

Either the Heat’s LeBron James, in his eighth NBA season, or the Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki, in his 13th NBA season, will win his first title. Talk about a couple of losers, huh? And this Nowitzki fellow played pro ball in Germany with DJK Wurzburg for four years before coming to America and didn’t win any titles there, either. What good is a 7-footer who shots 50 percent from the field, 40 percent on threes and 90 percent from the line if he can’t bring home the bratwurst?

Actually, Dirk Nowitzki probably has been underappreciated by nincompoops like Couch Slouch. How do you overlook and underrate a former league MVP and 10-time all-star? Simple — you live on Stupid Street, my home since 1984. In these playoffs, Nowitzki has been spectacular and sublime.

Who is J.J. Barea and who let him onto the court? The Mavericks’ backup point guard is listed at 6 feet tall. Please. I ran into him a couple of weeks ago at the Santa Monica Pier amusement park, and he wasn’t even tall enough to ride the Frog Hopper. Then again, I saw him run a pick-and-roll at the video arcade to perfection. He’s a dribbling whirling dervish.

If the Heat wins, will it finally shut up the LeBron haters? No. You can never shut up The Haters in Sports Nation. Of late, hating is the engine that drives our culture. People wake up, look around and think, “Who am I gonna hate on today?” Sports radio and the Internet were invented for hating. Heck, if microwave ovens had a setting for “hating,” they’d sell twice as many.

Well, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Three-on-five cannot win a championship. Yes, the Heat have the Three Tenors – LeBron, Dwyane Wade and the other guy. And who else? And who else? Go ahead, I challenge you to name, say, three other Heat players. (To be honest, some of you don’t even know who “the other guy” is.) The other Heat players don’t even have their names stitched to the back of their uniforms; rather, it just says, “HEAT TEMP.”
custom hockey jerseys
Some of you may recall that I have loudly said LeBron’s Heat would not win an NBA title. The key to effective prognostication, I’ve always believed, is to repeat your errant predictions early and often. Before the NBA season began, I stated the Heat would not win the championship, and I reiterated this same notion as the NBA playoffs began. It appears I might end up being incorrect, which raises the question — how many times can I be wrong in a single lifetime?

In for a dime, in for a dollar: I guess I’ve got to take the Mavericks in seven games. Of course, I could be mistaken.

Brown's path to Lakers' job started in Mesa

http://www.jjbsports.com/
As the recently cast caretaker of the NBA's wackiest soap opera, Mike Brown already is at the mercy of vigorous scrutiny.

League watchdogs are wondering if the new coach of the Los Angeles Lakers has the chops to thrive in this combustible environment. Specifically, they're wondering if he can muster the psychological muscle of Phil Jackson, whose matchup Zen steered the franchise to five championships in 10 years.

But the minefield tucked inside the job description includes Brown's ability to share the same page with twilight-encroaching superstar Kobe Bryant, a player whose ego can push lesser personalities into the margins.

Observers also are wondering if Brown can cajole a collection of disparate egos into embracing the five-players-on-a-string defensive concept that seems to be working so well around the NBA. And is he qualified to rehabilitate the confidence seemingly lost by Pau Gasol in the 2011 playoffs?

Will he preside over an offensive scheme that fits the skills of certain Lakers with the efficiency and attendant mysticism of the triangle? Does he want or need a real point guard and, if so, will the Lakers get him one? Is he capable of formulating a killer three-man rotation co-starring his celebrated post players?

Did LeBron James really coach the Cleveland Cavaliers late in games?

Will Brown inspire sufficient respect from Jack Nicholson?

Do the Lakers have the right man for the job?

"How am I supposed to know that," Tom Bennett said when hit with that last question, "without really knowing their program?"

OK, fair point. While sitting next to Gilbert High School boys varsity coach Jay Caserio last season, Bennett probably didn't spend much time analyzing the inner workings of the Lakers, so when one of his former players and good friends is called to duty in Tinseltown, the Valley coaching legend is taking the pragmatic approach to assessing Brown's future in L.A.

"I know him well," Bennett, who finished with a record of 711-269 in 33 years coaching community college and high school basketball, said of Brown. "He's a class person, a very good person. That's my knowledge of Mike Brown."

And Mike Brown's knowledge of basketball -- with much of it credited to NBA coaching mentors such as Gregg Popovich, Hank Egan and Rick Carlisle -- includes a great deal of what he learned playing for Bennett at Mesa Community College.

"He was a good player, not a great player," Bennett said of Brown. "But he was a great leader. He had a high-level work ethic and leadership. His involvement with others around him was significant. And he was a strong defender."
  cheap custom jerseys 
Right, the commitment to defense we've seen in Brown's NBA work began long before any enrollment in the San Antonio Spurs' way. Anyone familiar with Bennett's teams at MCC or Gilbert High (the Tigers won the Arizona big-school state championship in 2003) have seen similar dedication to stingy team defense, patient offense and overall hard work from Brown's teams.

In five years coaching James and his supporting cast with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Brown posted a record of 272-138 along with one NBA Finals run and two trips to the Eastern Conference finals.

"The thought processes, the attention to detail, the work ethic ... that's what sets him apart from a lot of people," Bennett said of Brown, who played guard for his T-Birds from 1988-90.

Brown went from MCC to the University of San Diego, where he played two seasons for Coach Hank Egan. Shortly after finishing at USD, Brown was employed by the Denver Nuggets as a scout and video coordinator. In 2000, Popovich hired him as an assistant coach in San Antonio, where the Spurs brought home the O'Brien trophy in 2003. Carlisle wooed him to Indiana the following season, and Brown helped steer the Pacers into the 2004 Eastern Conference finals. He was hired as head coach by the Cavaliers in 2005.

Brown's coaching-ladder climb is considerably different from the career arc of Bennett, who churned out players, future coaches and victories from the same part of the Phoenix metropolitan area.
  custom nba jerseys
After the '89-'90 MCC squad finished 32-3, Bennett was named National Junior College Athletic Association Coach of the Year. That team secured one of Bennett's five Region I and nine Arizona Community College Athletic Conference titles.

Bennett, whose skill as a player at Southport High and Wabash College led to induction into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, won 20 or more games 15 times at MCC. His son, Randy, is the highly respected head coach of the St. Mary's College Gaels.

So although his coaching influences are considerable, Brown was exposed to winning and its important variables at an important stage of development.

"At that point, I don't know if he was focused on being a coach," said Bennett, who has spent a couple of post-retirement seasons assisting the Gilbert High program. "I knew that whatever he chose to do, he'd probably be a success in, because he is a hard worker."

Some of Bennett's former assistant coaches have said that their mentor and Brown still talk basketball, but Bennett downplays any current influence he might have on the Lakers' new sideline boss.

"I just know Mike's tremendous," Bennett said. "An outstanding coach and a tremendous person."

NBA Players File A Claim Against Owners: What Does This Mean?

 http://www.jjbsports.com/
The NBA Players Union has filed a claim against the NBA Owners that they are unfairly bargaining at the mediation process. They filed their claim to the National Labor Relations Board who deals with these claims.
The NBA Owners have given a proposal to the Players Union as recently as a month ago. In it there was a hard cap (estimated around 45 million), reduced salaries, among other things. The Union swiftly rejected that policy hoping to get back to mediation and knuckle this thing out.
However, According to ESPN’s Chris Sheriden, the players claim is that:
“the NBA is engaging in “classic ‘take it or leave it’ and surface bargaining” with the intent of running out the clock on the CBA, “until the NBA locks out the represented employees in order to coerce them into accepting the NBA’s harsh and regressive demands.”
The NBA responded with:
“There is no merit to the charge filed today by the Players Association with the National Labor Relations Board, as we have complied — and will continue to comply — with all of our obligations under the federal labor laws. It will not distract us from our efforts to negotiate in good faith a new collective bargaining agreement with the Players Association,”
Ugh…it begins…
This reminds me a lot of the current Labor dispute. Not so much of it’s context, but the dynamics of the “he said, she said” game. David Stern has stuck his feet in the ground, unwilling to give up his views of what a new CBA should look like. The union on the other hand is fighting hard for the current CBA in place (which has guaranteed contracts, a big deal to them).
custom jerseys 
It’s likely that David Stern (or one of his representatives) insulted, to some degree, the Players Union with their offer. Derek Fisher recently stated that, ”Unfortunately, the proposal is very similar to the proposal the league submitted over a year ago,” … “This last proposal doesn’t look close to what we were expecting.”
It’s really frustrating for fans because now it seems almost inevitable that there will be a lockout. The Players have chosen to play hard ball, a tactic that won’t go down well with David Stern. It’s no secret the NBA is losing money, this isn’t like the NFL. The Owners have provided the sufficient information necessary for the players to look over.
Yet the Players are crying foul over this negotiating tactic of, “we have the leverage because we can lock you out.” The mediation is supposed to be fair and constructive. Unless the Owners have blatantly come out and said something along the lines of, ‘Well we will just wait until we can lock you out, then you’ll start to like our proposal.’
Playing hard-ball does not work. We’ve seen what has happened to the NFL. While fans still clamour to the belief that a deal will get done before training camp, it seems more likely than ever that no games will be played.
For the Hornets and the rest of the NBA teams, this means a number of things.
First, there will likely be no free-agency period until the lockout is lifted (if one is put in place, which as explained before seems likely with such tough-nosed tactics from both sides). General Managers like Dell Demps will be unable to do anything, unable to make trades, talk with players not even plan for the immediate future.
custom nfl jerseys
It’s why Chris Paul is going to relax this offseason and just see how things go. Rather than getting caught up in all of the banter and hysteria most players will likely sit back and relax.
Guys like David West and Carl Landry won’t. Because their contracts are at an end (West has an option), they can’t sign on with New Orleans or anyone else for that matter. What this means is that we won’t have any roster moves for a long, long time.
It’s really sad that this is the way it’s going to play out. The P.R. battle has started with the NBA pointing the finger at the Players, and the Players pointing the finger at the NBA. Sometimes I just wish people would grow up.

NBA Analysis: Jerry West is changing the culture warriors

http://aol.sportingnews.com/

1. The club reached the NBA Playoffs 2012th

2. The club has a player participating on Wed 2012 NBA All-Star in Orlando.

3. The club is 25 or more home games at Oracle Arena to win.

4. CLUB honor renewal without risk, with a range of security equal to 5% for the 2011-12 season in the NBA.

More importantly, the Warriors said they will do if all the elements are not met. If they do not make the playoffs, the team tends season ticket prices for 2012-13 increased. If you do not get a player in the All-Stars will give the team title of an article autographed All-Star names and they all put in a drawing for a trip to the ASG. If this is not a club win 25 games at home, subscribers can an autograph session for two hours to participate with all appliances. And lose the last element of aid to protect cardholder money if the games are lost due to suspension.

The contract comes just days after Jerry West was able to set a franchise consulting, and in the low season in the first group of new owners who bought the team last fall, Chris Cohan. Cohan team owner since 1995 and was one of the worst owners in the NBA in many fronts, including the account of the relationship of the fans. The agreement promises a lot of things that the fans are not used, it's a phenomenal piece exploited the goodwill of newcomers in height from a base of fans who ignored and felt for some time. I welcome your efforts in the rejuvenation of the population, to keep them in business.

Fans, of course, to win this contract and feel appreciated. The Warriors won for the same size. For starters, they will come in 2011-12 with the support of the fans over during a year in different Cohan 2007-08, which came in the wake of the nuts who believe that 8-on-a Dallas first loss round in April before. With this contract, the fans are much more willing to manage their subscriptions, the money can be renewed for the team.
Surprisingly, the Warriors 10th present home in the league in last season average 18 692 people, directly behind the Lakers (18 995) and Magic (18 972) and just ahead of the Celtics (18 624) and Spurs (18.314) fell.
cheap custom jerseys
Therefore, knowing the acquisition of Golden State clean taste and the health system team the fans season tickets this summer and get in some parts of the league presence, literally millions of dollars more, allows examination of the four promises from the perspective of what the team has to win or to lose.

The Warriors do not have the playoffs this year (no way) made, it tends to raise prices for season tickets in 2012. For the fans will be thrilled that the team had a good thing that Bill Simmons muster more than a year (Every team that loses the playoffs can not ticket prices next season proposed.
Miss two rounds right subscribers receive a discount of 5 percent for the next renewal season. Miss three consecutive games, from 10 percent. Miss four in a row, it jumps to 25 percent. Miss five consecutive jumps to 50 percent.) They'll buy more tickets this year. There is more money for the Warriors right now. Then they are not in the playoffs, but fans will love it, what the Warriors will cost more input, then you know what, the fans were leaving in good yields in 2012 did. More viewers in games, most fans pay for parking, food and beer and hot dogs $ 7,000,000, and the purchase of T-shirts.
In addition, the price of a single set of inputs is likely to increase anyway. The relief was just a lot more money with the promise not to raise the prices of season tickets in two years.
 custom nba jerseys 
Unfortunately, the Warriors have an All-Star this season. Forward David Lee has no chance in the top five, at his post in the West against Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant, Zach Randolph Blake Griffin, Pau Gasol, Kevin Love, LaMarcus Aldridge, Nene, Al Jefferson, David West, Lamar Odom and Luis Scola, especially since 12 of the 13 times exactly the same position as Lee PF. With respect to the guards Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis is not sure he can break the West's five rows back from Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Russell Westbrook, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Jason Kidd, and I Tyreke Evans am . Ellis has a chance if you put another 24 ppg, supports 6 per game this season and improved equipment, but I'm not holding my breath. As provided that the computer be no representative on the GSA list to a shit and buy an article signed by a person traveling to Orlando for a few days added. Which is what the team back? Maybe $ 3,000? Read the millions that make subscription renewals.

In fact, I think Golden State can and must win 25 games at home this season. Do you know why? They won 26 at Oracle Arena last year and they were terrible. Although the Warriors were 36-46 at home 26-15. But they say they do not want this year? Well, then host an autograph session for two hours, it costs nothing and makes the fans love them even more. Win-Win.

The latter protects the fans pay for games that will never happen if the lock Teresa, it is a breeze, and with the appearance of more orders.

But the Warriors imitate something decent that every team should the fans love the team care enough to at least give the impression that they try to improve (he hired Jerry West, one must therefore believe that they really are) and Golden State made millions Tickets renovations, even if they meet any of the promises. I love it!

Ricky Rubio had concerns come to the NBA lockout

 http://www.cbc.ca/sports/
In the past two years, the Minnesota Timberwolves have sometimes claimed that the Spanish prodigy Ricky Rubio (white) on the verge of ditching their home in order had come into the NBA. No matter that the Director General David Kahn of these statements with only circumstantial evidence, or if Rubio is looking forward to playing in Minnesota, had done when he was drafted in 2008.
A few weeks ago, went Kahn and his band of merry men to Barcelona to speak to the custody of a theoretical perspective. If you came a commitment Rubio for the season 2011-12, he was released. Now, said the franchise owner Glen Taylor Rubio serious concerns had come into the NBA with imminent closure. Charley Walters of the Pioneer Press (via PBT):  That is the question,  Wolves owner Glen Taylor said Monday.  You wonder, how can (blocking) influence, if not the game, or play if we do and our answer is.  Do not know the answer to that question. You have to make a decision before that date.  We (the owners of the NBA) in the negotiations with the players at that time. We hope that you play. But I can not guarantee that there is no way, I know.  It would be almost $ 1,000,000 cost to your purchase for Rubio FC Barcelona contract. The NBA rules prohibit a team to spend more than $ 500,000 a termination clause in the contract. Wolves are expected to contribute to the limit. He has to pay or fund or to do what you can do,  Taylor said of the rest of the purchase price.  He gave no indication that he holds dear. But until the character that I am very reluctant to say anything.

But he met us and was very positive. It asks the right questions.  The problem wolves that show Taylor comments that the answers to the  right questions  to reactions that produce Rubin does not like. It is unnecessary to spend $ 500,000 of his own money in his contract with FC Barcelona, here he can be on the field for part of the season in the NBA.
The impact against the best players on their development, but may not be the case if the season is 50 games or less cut.
It's a risky move for Rubio during his stay in Spain is a safe option. The Spanish Liga ACB is the best second in the world if it's not like I'm playing against a large number of Joseph Schmoe. was young point guard Jonny Flynn (white) is always on the list, Luke Ridnour (white) gets a lot of minutes, not the coach Kurt Rambis time can be much longer, and Kahn: In addition, there are many questions in

Minnesota now their way in a year or two, too. No player wants to get into a situation where a lot of confusion. The test we asked exactly when the Wolves and the NBA well enough to play for them Rubio. The new agreement is completed? Kahn will remove competition from another site owner? Rambis will go? Kahn will be in a penal colony? These are odd questions to ask when it comes to the draft prospect, but Rubio has detention for the franchise must ask you to play shows. Perhaps there is another solution for Minnesota to trade their rights.

Again, the more people slipping into the NBA Draft

  http://www.jjbsports.com/

Is used to pay for college all four years. But long gone for most students, but also the prospects for the NBA Draft, the days are.

Note that Kyrie Irving should be the No. 1 pick of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Irving has played 11 games in his first year at Duke, most of the season, missing with a foot injury.

The rest of the lottery (first choice by 14) can be a mix of college underclassmen and international perspectives.
In relation to the older as well, and BYU's national college player of the year guard Jimmer Fredette at least a chance in the top 10 captured. And Kenneth Faries Morehead State could go forward in the first 15 or 20

Other than that, if you are a vision of the project, it seems much smarter to make sure it's a NBA scouts to see less.


Smith is regarded as an escort, but full of admirable point last season, was injured as Irving. Meanwhile, Smith has shown he has the potential to run an NBA team.

Nolan Smith is 6-feet-2 and an average of 20.6 points per game in his last year. There was also a key member of the Dukes of its junior national championship season. Scouts say that could be produced anywhere from 20 to 35. Therefore, like most seniors, Smith really has no idea how little they can go.

Of course, these are the best prospects in front of another Duke Senior, before Kyle Singler. It was probably the MVP of the team winning the title, but decided to return to school last summer.

Teresa can not be created. It is best to consider a second-round way. Even more interesting is the fact that Singler's age (23) is considered a weakness. Seriously.

If it's one of my weaknesses, I think I'm good enough,  said Singler.
 Singler is one of those guys that get it right at the university and athletics are better than advertising. But if hes so good, the species seems to say the NBA, he would force the design in a few years ago.

Forget the fact, Johnson was the Big Ten Player of the Year and Brooks to the NCAA's top scorer second leading cause (behind Fredette) was. Meanwhile, Faria led the nation in rebound to 14.5 per game.

But if you are an adult, then all you can do, shrug and carry on and try to refute them all.



? Detroit has expressed a strong interest in Kentucky guard Brandon Knight and Knight said he impressed with the Pistons, who had have the No. 8 selection.
Unfortunately for both parties, Knight could be as high as the third drawn up.

：custom nfl jerseys 
? Benson is another player who could be on the Pistons' radar, especially since he played his college ball in the Detroit area and the 6-foot-11. The Pistons have two second-round pick, numbers 33 and 52 together.


? New York, CEO Donnie Walsh seems to care with the selection of 17 lean to. Nolan Smith could certainly be an option, and hopes to work quickly with the team. Smith has spoken with the Knicks and said they are interested. UCLA forward Tyler Honeycutt also interviewed with the Knicks, as New York Post.

Comment: Do not let the bells, whistles and 3 great fool, NBA, NFL could remain in limbo

 http://sports.yahoo.com/

Two months in blocking the NFL and begin to fear.

How long before someone steals a moment Roger Goodell thought that foray into the kitchen in Manhattan, fancy costumes and rented without a driver looking for work elsewhere?

Commissioner annual salary is at $ 1, remember, until the owner of the league and players reached a new collective agreement reduced. A ball that is good for a few days of ramen noodles. Then a man has to go, but friends.

Remember not to call David Stern, either. As NBA commissioner, has trouble suspending your account.

Thus, a professional basketball is set to implode, and no matter how much the thrill of the playoffs, it may mask. Many conflicts over the distribution of income of football are in the NBA bleeding, the owner demanded that the entire economic structure of the game and the players yell evidence that drastic measures are necessary, revised.

The current CBA runs on 30 June, we would find a couple of weeks, for the championship parade, pushed the Miami Heat prior to the NBA on the front side and celebrate into the abyss of the judiciary.

NFL players set the tone for evasive maneuvers by from their union. NBA players can expect to do the same. If so, who is the attitude of the left and negotiations with the lawyers, none of them provides for $ 1 per year or $ 1 per minute of work.

Hey, maybe just the two sports, the mid-summer. Perhaps a judge to the magic of magic one size fits all breaking the rules of the sport with all parties, to connect the two sectors at the table again and fascinating that something is being done.

The NBA had better deals for a solution, however. America can live without it much longer and much easier than it is pro football.

While it is hard to believe that in southern Florida look around during the deadly heat wave. The Lakers and the Celtics are as candidates. Oklahoma City, Memphis is not far behind. Can independently from the height of LeBron and Dwyane bring to the table, it can have, without really convincing advantage to traditional reviews or two against.

The last crash happened in the NBA in 1998-99, the rookie Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce, so that the lessons that they are not exactly ancient history.

Michael Jordan was gone, retired after last year's Chicago Bulls (a few years later he returned with the Washington Wizards). Kobe and Shaq was not the way to Los Angeles, Karl Malone of the Utah small market league MVP and San Antonio next made smaller markets as the best team in the league.

No wonder that many fans forget not that the season goes. Most do not, with the lock extends to 06 January for the reduction of the regular season 82-50 games.

It is a delicate balance of basketball, even better. All you need is a post-season thriller in triple overtime too late to see for those on the east coast to the end. Or that a playoff game against American Idol. Or the flicker of a few big franchises to the point of transformation.

Teams carefully the strengths, weaknesses Packers D

 http://www.suntimes.com/sports/


With the lock-in fact, NFL coaches a lot more time in the off season really to study the tape and analyze trends in the game
 Super Bowl actions could change trends in the game Think Denver Broncos blitzing Brett Favre in Super Bowl XXXII, New England Patriots, the closure of the  Greatest Show on Grass  in Super Bowl XXXVI, New York Giants St. Louis Rams zone-blitz package against the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, and remember that the teams have a model for other teams to play against the greatest sins developed.

2010 The Packers defense is questioned by NFL coaches now.

I talked to some coaches from both sides of the ball told me that he really dug in order to defend the Packers in the off season. Green Bay defense fascinated many coaches, taking into account that the Super Bowl with eight defensive players on the injured list (Nick Barnett, Brandon Chillar, Brady Poppinga, Justin Harrell, Morgan Burnett, Mike Neal, Brad Jones and Anthony Smith) is reached and lost key defender Charles Woodson, Sat and shields in the Super Bowl XLV. What can withstand so many injuries and still win the Super Bowl?
I had the opportunity to talk with some of the Packers defenders to try to understand what the defense is so effective, no matter who lines up on it. For a man, a credit to the players the Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers and his ability to plan, if the package of 2-4-5 (two defensive linemen, linebackers and four and five defensive backs), confusion, and left without offensive keep linemen to block many or to contain / pico attract Clay Matthews, who designed Ben Roethlisberger was how the players as  good . Blitzer was a time offensive tackle was made occupied by Matthews. Think before you're in the biggest game of the season and took his best running back and pass as a decoy, rather than constantly trying to become the first reverse.
 cheap custom jerseys  
How can that be? The answer was in Green Bay, because each player is represented in practice, not just headlines. That's how they overcome injuries. This explains how and linebacker Erik Walden and Frank Zombo fully inserted into the linebacker who was placed on IR.

So what, other bands have Thurs Packers team and make them work for them? Was the defensive system, the installation of the system or in the personal work of great talent that remained on the list? These are key questions for the league to decipher the defensive coordinators.

I know that the defense of the San Francisco 49ers, now under the leadership of former students of the Dom Capers Vic Fangio, dealing the Packers.
However, teams can throw packs of 4.3, things at the base of the 4.3 Packers? According ot the coaches that I know well, the answer is yes.

Trail blitzing is when a defender of the first defender in an attack and how it works, how the offense performs the first speed camera.

An offensive coordinator, said:  I looked at their stuff and it's interesting when both players are all, it is unclear who is and who's down, but if you look at the second and six at the Steelers made the Packers see is to organize the plans to try to learn more.

Crunch time for the Boston Celtics

 http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/

Boston Celtics reached the station in hopes of winning another NBA championship. The offseason acquisitions of Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal before the Celtics with Kevin Garnett, Kendrick Perkins, Glen Davis and semi-hardened earth. With a record of 36-11 in the first half of the season, the Celtics only checks their status as genuine title contenders.

It was not long before the Celtics finished their last 35 games with a 20-15 record, losing in the second round of the playoffs in the NBA's Miami Heat in five games. Many say that the middle of the season that trade Celtics Kendrick Perkins left for Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jeff Green mentioned. I personally think it's because Perkins Trading, said Bryant and enthusiasm Celtics Kazaferovic Almir. They not only have good trade is the best defense in the league, but has changed the entire look. By eliminating Perkins, Celtics tenacity, which are known had been removed. It's just a different team than last year, he added.

 To add the loss of Perkins, Green was ineffective to have little or no impact on a game. Green power is horrible. The adjustment to the idea that I can not recreate the Celtics in 2008 were green Ainge is expected to take over the role of James Posey, Kevin Garnett, who can play the five-spot. It also lacks the necessary hardness and was very aggressive,  said Kazaferovic.

In the short term there could do nothing other than the Celtics to make your list? Kazaferovic thinks so in the short term they need to get a center. Get rid of Shaq, and maybe a job that includes Arroyo Verde and Krstic. In the long term, the Celtics are clearly a number of problems. consider the future of the Celtics, the trade in large quantities have to or you'll end up like the Celtics of 2007, with 24 victories.

Ireland hopes to Scott's next challenge NBA

 http://www.nytimes.com/pages/sports/index.html

Carleton Scott is a few weeks to have a degree from Notre Dame in their hands.
This success, as much as anything, helped the 6-foot-8 before decided to stay with the NBA Draft and forego his final year of eligibility in college.


Scott, who has 10.2 points and 7.4 rebounds last season, on average, no illusions of qualifying for the NBA will not be easy.

A native of San Antonio was not on the mock draft to two rounds and in the ESPN top 100 players when he decided to Notre Dame on Sunday, the last day of high school players can leave to withdraw their names in the project. Scott has some good reviews after attending a pre-draft combine in New Jersey received last week.

This is an opportunity for players with little remaining period of eligibility by Notre Dame coach Mike Brey took 11 years.

Luke Harangody, Chris Thomas and Torin Francis have all returned to Ireland after testing the NBA waters. Only Troy Murphy, who was close to a guaranteed selection in the first round in 2001, left school early.
Brey said he understands that the decision of the Scotts, and the trainer said the attacker is projected as a mid-round selection and by the end of the second.

I think it's the right decision to No. 1 because of him, and graduated in your life and your mood you will find the next challenge need,  said Brey. I think for him to work on his game, work on other things must be clean, also.

Brey also had a life at the weekend but appears to be much easier. After a possible replacement for Gary Williams, Maryland indicated, the Irish coach reiterated his commitment to Notre Dame on Monday.

She has never met with them and never had more than a question because I feel so good with the dynamic of our program,  said Brey. We've invested a lot here is the house.

With Dallas leading owner, low free volume

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/
I never thought this day would come, to be honest. I did everything possible to prevent the Lakers games were done but compelled me sometimes. I heard a lot of applause for them in my seat in the arena and saw that we will (rightly) often. I saw the triumph of good, but Id take luck and Throw It All Away. At least that's what I felt.

So why this change of heart? I think the playoffs with the Los Angeles has been fun, Hornets fans united in their darkest hours, and perhaps saved the NBA in New Orleans as we know, maybe the maintenance of Chris Paul. Overall, an expression of gratitude the matter with the class, if not a recipe for Xenia.


In the future I will assume that it is our darkest hours, the fans New Orleans Hornets and was darker than the other hours of the teams, including Cleveland last year. If you do not know why, and after a few blogs.
 Level impact of the option is difficult to measure, in some cases as a basis for comparing the path-not-taken, which is also a possibility, the-not-made in our picturesque corner of the multiverse. epistemological limitations aside, I think it is clear that the Lakers are playing to maximize in TV commercials in the evening for our national visibility. In addition, separating the first 4 games with Los Angeles to the surprise of most experts, true experts, casual fans, the Hornets were able to use that exposure beyond a reasonable expectation to earn a good compliance. The circumstances surrounding this victory, with David West in Los Angeles after two consecutive title given to this question.

The local group of fans was completely happy and full of hives for three playoff games. One was a victory that included a victory of the performances in the playoffs already in the space-time continuum. The fans were turned on, and showed, among other things, where it counts: season tickets. The Hornets have sold about 500 season tickets for 6 games of the race, so now its a total of about 8,000.

As concerns for the team, you have total concentration on one of the best teams in the NBA (always) the most talented coaches in NBA history, with the most legendary of active players and see how stacked (without D-West). The results, as mentioned above, are very favorable. We saw we could do, what we could do, and how best to go to work. This is exactly what the players needed. You have to see who could the Lakers in a game or two that might to the occasion, and very specific changes could be started in the race for the title itself is lost. . . , For some of them.

More abstractly, we see the end of an era in the NBA. I can not have a clear line, but the last time. Coach Jackson left the game after that Kobe Bryant tighten the large, then fine. While James and Wade are vying for the title with one another, they form a new Showtime. . .
Starz, perhaps? . . . or complete cost-benefit analysis of such things and look nothing like the Lakers again. To become part of the final is an honor, if only significant wall is their way as a legendary warrior on the path of his final battle, where he allegedly be a simple opening.
cheap custom jerseys  
Last but not least, I've really enjoyed. Not only that games only fun but also raised major parties to see where we spend time with wonderful people Hornets247, Swarm and Sting, in the hive and Hoopdat HornetsHype. The parties shows, in my opinion, were the first meetings of the masses, the major real organized by the fans themselves for the express purpose of seeing the Hornets on TV. I think it's important. I think this is the beginning of a new era of Hornets fans.

Now we have all the important memories with foreigners first. Holy Cow has become a bee Zany. We all know Super Hornet Supercar. The Purple Hornets turned to us more than anyone else when I'm in the arena main screen singing bees for the defense, such as bread. . . er, bark. . .
with him. There were personal moments and many other stories, I know.

Everyone clapped together. Some of us talked. More than just a good time this happened, however, and will continue to occur. It was the NBA version of the monolith that appears, in the design tool man. We are different now. We are subtly changed the world for fans of the Hornets, and the world, which is somewhat annoying fat has changed.

We even had an excellent exchange with silverscreenandroll. This type of interaction between the fans of the opposing team are among the hidden treasures of the playoffs, and we share. Wonderful.

So. . . it's all good, but why thank the Lakers? What had, except the wearing of the shirt a few champions, we beat the legends in the $ 90,000,000-player-payroll and who knows what: they are paid as a personal trainer?
custom nba jerseys
Ill tell you what they did. Put a bull's-eye on us. His goal for us. They knew that they control the best option for them, and could play if necessary. They made it possible to try to sneak into the second round by a secret door in the neighborhood. Thus, this series has happened not only to select the available options.

In addition, Coach Jackson has insulted us and our time, many city residents, only adds to the evil person of the Lakers, so that a face, voice and message to the enemy. Nothing unites people like a common enemy, and nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd. The Lakers have these and more provided.

Thank you very much, I play good memories, and you may just have been good enough for basketball done in this city for a trip to the Big Easy every year. So I always have a little thank you in my heart.

Maybe it's just that a team moved near the headwaters of the Mississippi, in a city where the name has little real connection to the area, perhaps it is something like device, pulled it needs a little pick-me-up in a city near the mouth of the Mississippi, where the water was unstoppable them a name and an established life and provides much of the essence of a city loved by many in the world. The water flow from Lake Itasca my house right before throwing a few miles from the arena. Teresa of beauty is a poem in the language and the circumstances of history, at least for those who want it. I think because I see the good that happened.

Id like to conclude by saying that you remove the bottom of my list of devices ordered by preference, but they were never even there. I hate Dallas. Angels Go? Yes

NFL Network Audio des Appels

http://www.nytimes.com/pages/sports/index.html 

It should not be blessed with the instincts of Roone Arledge see two things, the broadcast networks in the NFL Thursday night football, which began in 2006: the video quality and audio production in line with the standards of the NFL.

Consistency in their media.

In terms of the ad network yesterday that Brad Nessler and Mike Mayock, the eight games of the 2011 season (assuming that in reality is a time of 2011) called the failure of it was sent.
[Ness] He knows the game knows the NFL, said Mark Quenzel, senior vice president of the NFL Network President of Programming and Production. And I think it's important to have the unique ability that I have seen many times, the audience with important information they need to solve this, before it has to offer. To speak, while integrating some sort of balance of the season in the league where we are, what that means.


Quenzel was especially clear in his praise for Mayock, a former Boston College star, as perhaps the most familiar of the NFL Draft Analyst incurred on any network.

Mike knows the players and teams,  said Quenzel. Many analysts say what happened. Soccer fans really know especially want NFL Network, why, and that the wheelhouse Mikes.



Mayock, who was welcomed as an analyst for the transfer of Notre Dame NBCS and final game of the playoffs stations Santos-Seahawks, was one of the favorites in the work of the analysts considered. Nessler hiring a professional style with a familiar and quiet voice, was a best kept secret. The NFL Network a few men hearing play-by-play alongside Mayock. (One of them said candidates, the excitable Gus Johnson is now a free agent after he showed yesterday that left CBS after 16 years.) But Nessler, who worked with Mayock time in 1993, never the hearing, suggesting that the NFL Network was the first choice all along.

Treasury is no stranger to Cincinnati, after calling the University of Cincinnati, basketball and football on TV or radio since 1996. He also manages the rights of the play-by-Bengals pre-season game broadcasts last year, and it is not surprising that they like what they heard.

Kobe Bryant, Andrew Bynum reporters reveal his true greatness

Everyone knows Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant is a great scorer.

Bryant is one of the best scorers in 10 NBA all time, the more points than anyone in history has one of the most successful franchises in the NBA and has over 80 years, 30 playoff games of his career.

No one will deny the ability to fill from Bryant to a panel, but the procedure that the delivery encourage Bryant in Game 1 of the semifinals of the Western Conference to some, its size question.

Bryant 36 points in 14 to 29 Shots in Game 1 is impressive, but it is also the center Andrew Bynum eight points on 3-8 shooting in the field. 

So how could less than Bynum to see in a mediocre game to understand in any way as impressive?

For the simple reason that to say Bryant and the rest of the Lakers, Bynum that there are not decided.

The biggest advantage of the Lakers in the playoffs is their size and talent in painting with Bynum, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom.

The Lakers are wearing big enough for most teams in a seven-game series, and there are some teams that can boast three players such as Bynum, Gasol and Odom are classified.

And Bynum is the key, especially since it the title of the top center of the NBA playoffs since 2011 inherited Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic were eliminated.

Bynum is bigger and stronger than their Western counterparts semifinals Tyson Chandler and Brendan Haywood, but the size and strength are not important, because Bynum is too much talent.

The few times that the Lakers chose to run their offense in Game 1 Bynum showed great footwork in the paint, but most of all decisions and Bynum has spent together two great time.

Bynum plays with confidence and concern, despite his trembling knees, and seems willing to really grow, but only Bryant pass the chance.

It has long been a view from many states Bryant shoots and results have been divided, the chances of the Lakers lost this game in particular also increased.

I would say that the opinion of 50 percent is correct, because the Lakers, a team with enough talent to be successful with 29 shots on the field at Bryant, but his performance does not always support this theory.

Each of the Lakers, who have a star player like Odom and Gasol with attacks treated could be regarded by inconsistency and if Bynum has been an endless stream of injuries.

Bryant was the only constant in each episode, and in many cases, his aggressive approach has been in certain situations that have saved the Lakers to give them new life.

But Bryant is also a victim of his own talent and was sometimes shown in 4.9 shooting performance of the line at three points in Game 1 against Dallas.

 Bryant scored a couple of long shots, which contributed to an early 16-point lead for the Lakers, but take the ball into the paint, where the greatest benefit was of his team hides, Bryant has continued to the attic perimeter library.

Bryant restraint in order to work the ball played in the post, the Lakers the opportunity to maintain or increase to 16 points.

This brings me back to Bynum.

Bynum was a Laker next to Bryant, who has played basketball since the All-Stars, and is the only player on the Mavericks not to respond to the physics.

Why not Bynum the ball?

I love Bryant on the extent of the mud work, but the best chance for the Lakers three peat Bryant is not a jump shot.

A third NBA championship in a row for the Lakers probably depends on its ability to feed the ball to Bynum in the paint, but the biggest challenge that you can get Bryant to accept this truth.

Bryant performance in the playoffs then used as a measure of his legacy, but acknowledge that his team would win at least their offense could be a turning point.

I think Bryant is a legendary player and when he retired, he will be remembered as one of the greatest games of all time.

However, Bryant has the opportunity to raise his legend even in the heights and all it takes is a little generosity, and some passes to Bynum hunger in color.

NBA Playoffs 2011: Successfully threat parity League franchises

 http://www.jjbsports.com/


In the first round of the playoffs, the result was expected. However, the change in shape to go in the NBA, only two or three things that a fan could trust to be true.

Fact 1: Los Angeles Lakers before the final.

Fact 2: Boston Celtics were the more dangerous team in the East.

Fact 3: Memphis would fall to Spurs in the Series 1.

The only problem with these facts, not filtered through the reality. The Lakers are on the verge of eliminating hunger in the hands of a team of Dallas Mavericks. Dirk Nowitzki will not even be rejected and give the Lakers big men a run for the salary and title, both covet.

Memphis shot by competition with the sub-Zach Randolph leads the prosecution and the Boston Celtics are like chickens with their heads of computers that have a distinct advantage by looking separately. Or at least before.

beginning balance in the 2011 NBA Playoffs, doubt in the minds of those who knew the profit from felt. Teams like the Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks have to prove something.

That his opponents do not like or are offensive strategies that seem to separate the wheat from the chaff. It was an unexpected advantage in the competition as players rushed to roll along the other superstars. The talent is always looking ahead and darkness of the foot and the center is a challenge for all those who feel they resist the fight.

The Lakers, Thunder, Celtics and the Bulls was tested on those who were not in the regular season. Maybe it was Derrick Rose to the ankle, which eventually led to the demise of Chicago. It is clear that children are more tired of the references, except to the extent of the talent and the value of the league.

How many times have you turned on the television and see the story revolves around the large stores, which is a threat to the ability of all franchises are displayed correctly in the games. Boston was the original, while Miami Pat Riley had a hand in all three super-friends in South Beach.

Donnie Walsh and Mike Dantonio thought all we needed to Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire, before she swept under the carpet by Boston in the first round.

Now we see the links humiliated by more explosive tandem in Oklahoma City will be for a franchise that should not be there, even without active control Rudy Gay.

The time has come for us to break out the prognosis is not the will of the individual. Players like Zach Randolph, Joe Johnson and Dirk Nowitzki are undervalued, pointing tired. Ignorance of the fan base that most franchise with more star power feed, but affect their desire to prove the world wrong.

Their origins are different, but the common objective remains the same. The forecasts are put to shame and it is reported that their own knowledge of these players rake aside questions from analysts and commentators question. I'm glad I'm here to testify.
