he looks like he is getting some of his confidence back this summer. still not sure how he will ever see the floor in LA with kobe and artest around though.

Him and Artest should get along well. They are both whack jobs.

Maybe they can cut a rap album together or something?

and can i just say to all u raleigh/durham people... i hate i-40 from durham to raleigh. i made a point to get to that area at 3pm to avoid rush hour. NOPE. 40 miles of driving in 2nd gear in 4 lanes of bumper to bumper traffic... at 3 f'ing pm. i would kill myself if i had to make that drive everyday.

Walter Cronkite had been sick for a little while, but tonight America says a final goodbye to the best broadcast journalist it has ever known. "The most trusted man in America". RIP.

A video on Larry Brown explaining his job in the french team.

http://www.basketfrance.com/_box/index. ... eo=307&gr=

First part is in french, and second one is in english with "coach Brown" (it begins at 7m till the end).

I think Brown can bring his great coaching experience to this young guys who are trying to build a competitive team and reach the olympics in the future. For now it's a sort of "consultant-great observator" role, participating to the process and learning about our french team who definitely can use his guidance.

Brown is a great asset just being here because it's a turnaround situation for France, they have to fight to qualify in European Championship, plus the staff is new so they must learn fast and well, Brown fits the defensive minded game they try to establish.

Let's hope coach Brown can facilitate relations between NBA franchises and french team in order to let them the players needed for international competitions and have the better roster possible. We can see how passionate and concerned Brown seems to be regarding french team's future.

Amen to that. After Normal nearly rocked the tour last year it would have been nice for Watson to actually pull it off this year.

The difference between a 9 iron and an 8 iron can cost you all the marbles!!

I was pulling hard for Tom. But at least Cink did what he had to do. Birdied 4 times on the back, including on 18. And he is very gracious in winning. But it sure would have been cool for Tom to win.

I want to give ESPN props for standing up and flexing its muscle for the right cause. They got their General Counsel on this Erin Andrews stuff real quick. Video gets onto the Internet just a day. Now, if you try and find the video on line, everywhere you look the links are disabled. They were slexing their muscle and letting all the places providing links know that ESPN would move heaven and earth to crush them financially if they persisted. And you know they got the jack to do it. Gotta give them props for standing up for Erin Andrews here. She did nothing wrong at all and was violated in a really bad way. She is drop dead gorgeous and seeing her naked is fine if she does it voluntarily. But for some creep to film her through a peephole at a Hotel, man that is just wrong as wrong gets. So I want to give ESPN their just props for standing up for Erin and getting all the links disabled.

hey, I live 10 minutes away from the arena, should I go try out? I have Shaqs long range shot, Zach Randolphs defensive ability, Gana Diops offensive talent, and Emeka Okafors heart. All wrapped up in juwan howards athleticism in the body of Steve Nash. With all these NBA talent wrapped into one I should be a surefire pick for a roster spot right?

Post #517 » by **BigSlam** » Wed Jul 22, 2009 7:02 pm

CatNation you should TOTALLY go and try out - if for nothing else to report back to us about the experience.

You should roll up rocking a 'fro, knee highs, Ben Wallace bicep sweat bands and Horace Grant type goggles.

That would be too sweet.

Erin Andrews...... wouldn't you love to be her exercise bike seat for a day........

Good on ESPN for looking after her. With consent it's great, with no consent I hope they find the sicko and toss away the key.

Post #519 » by **fatlever** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 2:02 am

i had to watch the andrews video.... for "research" of course. my research says... shame on that perv. will she be able to sue the hotel for bad peephole installation and lax security?

also, the lebron dunk video... who cares. people get dunked on in pick up games all the time. nobody would have cared until the freaked out and took the video.

chabber · Post #520 » by **chabber** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 2:09 am

That's what got me. Since when were peep holes designed to look in from the outside? It would take am idiot to try and look in thinking he could see something and then of course he gets lucky that it must have been installed backwards.
