Tommy-Pose of the Day…

Your Tommy-Quote of the Day…

“I’m gonna become president of the Clone-Marty-Conlon Club!”

Headlines from around the league…

Ball Don’t Lie: The Basketball Jones ep. 480: Call & Answer, Behind the box score, where the Jazz started the right way

There’s really not much for me too say: any avid basketball fan should make both of these staples of their day.

The Baseline: Kings Evans joins rookie race; don’t sleep on DeRozan, either, So a Michael Jordan impostor walks into a D-league game

Brandon Jennings hype is in overdrive, especially given his imminent arrival to take on our beloved C’s, but his play has declined over the past week or so, while other rookies have thrived; also, Shoals shares video of what happened when MJ didn’t show up to play Byron Russell 1 on 1.

Toronto Star: Raptors’ confidence growing

I love the fact that the author calls a two game winning streak a sign of “cutthroat engagement.” Really, man?

Indianapolis Star: O’Brien preparing for worst with Granger

O’Brien seems to be anticipating a prolonged absence for DG due to his recent heel injury. That’s a shame for Pacers fans and astute fantasy owners alike. Granger always seems to be slightly underrated on draft day, and impresses me more and more each time I see him play.

Hoops Hype: Kenyon Martin: “If we lock in on defense, the sky is the limit for us”

Well yes, that’s true in the strictest sense. But by the same token, if I wasn’t 5’5 and unathletic, I might be an efficient NBA point guard. Expecting a team with Martin and J.R. Smith to play consistent defense is an epic fantasy of Tolkien-esque proportions.

TrueHoop: Tim Donaghy’s claims on trial

TrueHoop’s Henry Abbott examines the legitimacy (or lack thereof) of Donaghy’s claims in his new book, Personal Foul.

NBAtipoff: Andre Iguodala is feeling it (video)

On a night when the return or the original AI was the lead story, AI2 showed that he is still the dominant scorer in Philly, dropping 31 pts on the Nuggets in an eventual loss. He also threw in a nifty length-of-the-court pass after time expired at halftime.
