2012-2013 NBA Talk

JPosnanski: Lakers fans go to bed dreaming of Phil Jackson. Wake up, unwrap package, it's Mike D'Antoni. It's like LA Christmas come early.

Haha Just read this by Bill Simmons

Yep said that shit for years when watching the Cavs lol

This Week 10 picks column is dedicated to the immortal Mike Brown, the only person who ever figured out a way to stop LeBron James and someone on whom I was counting to screw up the 2012-13 Lakers season. If you noticed, I rarely if ever made Mike Brown jokes in columns or podcasts or even on TV — I was hoping he'd hang around for years and years and years, almost like the coaching version of an STD. Mike Brown was the kind of guy who shrugged off halftime adjustments and thought it would be smart to have Steve Nash run the Princeton offense

KD is the man!

KD is the man!

The more stories I hear about the dude, the more I like him. He seems to be one of those guys who "gets it." I remembers during the lockout, he was asking where he could play some flag football at and some frat guys tweeted him back where they'd be playing and KD showed up to play. He knows he's a star but doesn't act like it. I respect the dude a lot.

OKC has become my favorite team (along with Minnesota - Kevin Love is a fuckin' beast) to watch. Watching Durant become the superstar that he is has been amazing.

From Yahoo Sports, multiple sources have cited that New Orleans will change from the Hornets to the Pelicans in the 2013-14 season.

Looks like a color change could be in the works also.

The Hornets moved to New Orleans from Charlotte in 2002, and when Benson bought the team earlier this year, he said he would like to change the name to something more fitting of Louisiana. His wife, Gayle, reiterated that idea and added that the franchise also would like to change the team colors from teal and purple to red, gold and navy blue.

And Michael Jordan is interested in possibly bringing the Hornets nickname back to Charlotte in the future.

One of the finalists for the new New Orleans name was the Krewe. I think that should have been the choice....
