And you know you're getting something more truthful and insightful, not as much "spin" ... because they're usually not subject to the editing or approval of some suit.

And, as someone who no longer considers herself "young", I especially liked "the NBA demographic tends, I think, to skew a little younger." You're only as young as you blog. I love this post!

Keith Van Horn, Hassel, Harris, Diop, somebody else, picks and cash for Kidd and Malik. the west is very very wild now. 20- Dunk for Duncan is probably not a fundamental skill ;)

There is a core group of bloggers, like you, that really know a great deal about their local teams and are willing to share what they know honestly. In your case, you have managed to create a "blog of bloggers" (and ordinary guys like me) who seem to know almost everything that ever happens to or affects the Lakers within minutes (or at most hours) of when it happens--and what it means. Others in other cities may not be quite as adept at inspiring your volume of quality responses, but they know their teams backwards and forwards. The one thing that you all have in common is a sense of honesty, integrity, and objectivity. Kurt,

Plus, it makes me feel smarter when having discussions with my friends =] 19-Yeah, that was a crappy all-star game. No Kobe, no T-Mac, no VC, and no Shaq-Fu made watching it feel vanilla. There was not as many highlights, and left me disappointed especially with the hype surrounding it. The bright spots from the West were Brandon Roy and CP3. I mean, "The Big Fundamental" blew a dunk! Seeing Kobe itching in the final minutes of the game made me realize how much of an impact he has on the game night in and night out, even though it's only an exhibition.

It was a pretty thrilling 2nd half. Sorry for the double post, but after the last half, I formally retract my last post. It was a pretty thrilling 2nd half.

I have to say that this is one of the worst all-star games I've ever watched. It's a real disappointment after the fantastic slam dunk contest yesterday. I know it's an exhibition game, but no one seems to have the competitive fire going on right now. It makes you appreciate Kobe even more.

Blogging for me is therapy to my sick mind and insatiable need for an NBA fix. Its a natural high that brings me to cloud 9. Seriously. Kurt, blogging has indeed boomed the last couple of years and I agree with MacBSlick that its here to stay. It is where us fans develop the knowledge to draw more fans to the game. It gives us the chance to speak our minds without fear and say them as they come. As for me, its nice to be considered an NBA-dictionary here at our place. WARNING: This is simply my own opinion.
