Fast Break Thoughts

Just a few general thoughts and notes in the inbox: • The latest Carnival of the NBA is up at The City and shows you just how many new NBA blogs are out there — and how much action there is in the off-season. •Gonzaga University has set up an email account where you can […]

Just a couple of notes to pass along, I’ll be out at the Summer Pro League today, with my first post going up very late Saturday night/Sunday morning. * Andrew Bynum has officially signed with the Lakers, as have most of the first round picks in the NBA. One of the good things about the […]

Here’s the one place you can read some news and notes that don’t talk about Tom Cruise or who to nominate to the Supreme Court (what about David Stern, he is a lawyer). • Teams are talking free agents and blogs like this around the Web are trying to keep up — the best place […]

Want to pass on a couple of fascinating links worth checking out, both for Laker fans and just hoops fans.

I have more change to throw in by the way on what […]

Yesterday my wife and I hosted a small first birthday party for my daughter, just our families and a few of my daughter’s baby friends (or, more accurately, my wife’s […]

Apparently now we are all waiting for Phil Jackson to come down from Mt. Sinai (or maybe return from Magadha is the better analogy) and tell us what he is going to do. The best news of all is that this is going to happen by early next week, ending this painfully drawn out process […]
