The Round Up - March 14th, 2013.

Set in Stone: With the win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night, the San Antonio Spurs extends their NBA record of 50 or more wins to 14 seasons. After a slow start, going 1 for 7 from the field, Tim Duncan would finish with 28 points on 12 of 20 shooting, and 19 boards to become the oldest player to get such a line since 1992. The Spurs, still without Tony Parker, got their other scoring punch from Gary Neal. He had 16 points (6 of 13), including a few critical threes down the stretch. The Mavericks, who were on the last of their 4 game trip hung in for the most parts of this game. Down 3 with less than 30 seconds remaining on the clock, Dirk (21 points, 11 rebounds) would drain one from the elbow to cut the lead to 1. With a chance to win it after a Manu miss on the other end, the Mavs would come out of their time out with a Vince Carter (10 points, 4-12) fade way three that just rims out.

Yep, braids are cool again.

Bright Lights: In the dreaded return to Portland after spending a whole season at the Rose Garden slightly overweight, Raymond Felton, after insinuating that he would drop 50 points against his former team, had only 11 points on 12 shots. The rest of his teammates weren't of much help either, with the exception of J.R. Smith, who went off for 33 points on 11 of 21 shooting. The game was close in beginning, but after Portland closed out the second quarter with a 13-0 run, the Knicks would only come as close as 4 points in 4th, where J.R. Smith made three straight threes. In his second national television debut, Blazer's rookie, Damian Lillard erupted for 26 points (11 of 18), and 10 dimes, joining LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and Stephen Curry as one of the 4 players in this season with at least 1,200 points and 400 assists. LaMarcus Aldridge added 22 points (8 of 15), 10 rebounds and 5 blocks, while playing with a migraine.

Knicks' Stoudemire, Chandler and Anthony were all out due to injuries. Stoudemire will go under season ending knee surgery. Neither Chandler or Anthony have been confirmed for the next game.

He may or may not have traveled on this one.

The Dallas Mavericks created Super Marion Bros.

If only the road to become a NBA Champion was World 1-1 easy.

Tony Parker didn't think he deserved the NBA flop warning.

I can't. If this wasn't a flop like Tony Paker said, there is only two other possible explanations for his "dive." Either the ghost of Antoine Tyler from the movie, the Sixth Man (I think a Wayan was in it) pushed him or Toney Douglas has a tiny finger cannon that no one knows about. And since both are fictional, Tony should have probably kept his opinion to himself to avoid further embarrassment.

This is what he actually said (Via: Jeff McDonald):

How can he sleep at night, after lying to himself and everyone else. Toney Douglas was laughing because that was a terrible flop. A good one gets your teammates off their bench and cry. Even Manu couldn't help you there. But in Parker's defense, this is not exactly his area of expertise. After all, the French man is a more renowned flopper on the offensive end.

Coach Greg Popovich is burdened by Stephen Jackson, because "all he does is Twitters."

Eric Gray/AP Photo

If you know anything about Stephen Jackson, it is his temper and reputation of being a head case that clashes with all the coaches he has ever had, with the exception of one. Out of every person (maybe Nellie in that miraculous 07' run) that had Jackson in his roster, only Greg Popovich managed to keep him under control and make him into an effective member off the bench. But as good as things goes, it doesn't always mean they don't get into each other faces.

From Dwain Price of Full Court Press:

San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was doing an interview after this morning's shoot around at the American Airlines Center when he looked over and saw forward Stephen Jackson typing something on his cell phone.

"Jack's a pain in the (butt),'' Popovich said. "Look at him, all he does is twitters.

"He's twittering some stuff right now that'll probably get him fined, and then I've got to call the league and talk to the league and say, 'Yeah, I talked to him.' ''

I believe the correct term is "tweeting." I want to him get his terms right just in case he decides to get on this social media platform and make everyone's day with 140 characters or less. It would be the greatest account created. Imagine him responding to the Jackson's threat to Serge Ibaka, the comedic potential is endless. He can even use the millions of Coach Pop's reaction .GIFs to reply to everything, thus taking his media trolling to a whole new level.

Jackson then chimed in and said: "It's not Twitter. It's Instagram.''

Just because the two cut ties on their once successful partnership, doesn't mean it is not basically the same thing. Besides (if you follow him on twitter) all he does with instagram is taking screenshots of a daily prayer he wrote/find and of course the occasional trask talking that have stopped as of late.

The Spurs are the most exciting on and off court team of the NBA. Please never change.

Dirk Nowitzki visits the hospital to play basketball with a new fan.

Dirk Nowitzki recently visited the Dallas Medical Center to meet kids one on one, and Will Kolassa from Chicago was one of the lucky patients. This was an incredible gesture, even though Dirk failed to make Will switch allegiances, he has done a great thing by just showing up and playing some hoops with the kid.

A Quick End of the World NBA Round Up - December 20th, 2012.

Stats Rundown

Via: @cjzero

Well, if you are reading this right now, it probably means that the World is still in one piece, and no one died a Mayan-Predicted death. Or, the end of the world follows time zones in which case, you have 11 minutes left to live (that is assuming you are reading this at 6:00 am PST). In lighter news, Kevin Love finally breaks a shooting slump. He had 28 points (9 of 20 shooting), 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks and the win to snap Oklahoma City Thunder's winning streak.

Honorable Mention: To LeBron James's 24 points (9 of 13), 9 rebounds, 5 assists and W against the Dallas Mavericks.

Quadruple Uh-Oh: Bad Russell Westbrook was close to a quadruple double in the worst way. 30 points on 28 shots, 11 rebounds, 9 assists and 8 turnovers.

Boards: J.J. Hickson does all the dirty work, 18 rebounds, 3 blocks and 18 points in the win over the Denver nuggets.

Rookie Watch: Forget Ricky Rubio, Alexey Shved can hand out dimes too. 12 assists, 12 points and 7 rebounds against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Top of the Backboard, Ma: Kevin Durant is so good, he doesn't even when he scores.

Touchdown: Dwyane Wade showed off his arm in front of the Heisman Trophy winner. LeBron further proves that he would legitimately dominate football too.

Trend Alert: Dunking without actually touching the rim with your hands is now the cool thing to do.

Out of Range: The Denver Nuggets set a new NBA record for most 3-point attempts without a make, against the Portland Trail Blazer, who held the previous record of 0-20. This is one of those end of the world stats. The Nuggets didn't have a single point outside the paint until Ty Lawson hit a jumper with 38 seconds left in the game. Crisis averted. Still lost to the Blazers though. (Via:@johnschuhmann)

Rip: So this is why Shaq is such a bad "analyst," he reads bleacher report. Even Chuck knows better than that.

James Harden, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin sings "Jingle Bells."

Jason Kidd has been in the NBA for 23 seasons, 19 years of singing Christmas Carols and is still camera shy. It was awkward just to watch. Blake Griffin and Chris Paul's take on jingle bells was cool, unlike James Harden ditching his team to sing one on his own. No one wants to play on Christmas, we all know David Stern is doing this do them because he is Mr.Scrooge and he overworks employees, while giving them huge sums of money. (Totally not because he is of Jewish Heritage and celebrates Hannukah)

For Fans, Christmas Basketball is the best.
This one doesn't go into my NBA Christmas Carol Power Rankings, only teams allowed.

Mark Cuban gave live updates on his kidney stone removal on Twitter.

Kirby Lee - US Presswire

Want to read about a billionaire that owns the Dallas Mavericks passing out his kidney stone? Well, neither do I but it was a lot funnier and grosser than you would think. It is too late to click away now.

The man knows how to use those hash tags. Did he actually wanted to get them trending? One would hope not. Let's all imagine him tweeting on his phone while bent over trying to pass a kidney stone and making that scrunchy "what the hell, ref" face. Oh, Mark Cuban, you are an ass.

The James Harden and Jeremy Lin combo + Knicks Defense.

Scott Halleran - Getty Images

Houston Rockets 109 - New York Knicks 96

The Good

Rockets: For one night, in the place where "Linsanity" started, Jeremy Lin and his new back court partner, James Harden were able to co-exist. These two are at their best when the ball is in their hands. They thrive off the pick and roll and only one of them can find other ways to be effective away from the ball. The problem is that the better player, the one you would rather have on the ball is James Harden and you would not want him to work off the ball for Lin's benefit.

This forms a weird dynamic between the two. Jeremy Lin is not a pass first guy, he looks to score as soon as the ball gets to him. He has a bad habit of stopping his dribble once he gets covered by defense. And trying to pass out of a tough situation, in turn results in a lot of turnovers. On the other hand, James Harden likes to use the pick and roll, and go over his options before taking his shot. If you were the Rockets, based on the above descriptions of their play, who would you pick. The answer, if it was not too obvious, is Harden. He can create for his teammates and put himself in a better scoring position (See free throw attempts).

Frankly, it is too early to call this a failure. They didn't even have training camp together. They are still figuring things out on the fly, learning each others tendencies. Kevin McHale has done a better job managing minutes they share on the floor, and there are slight improvements. The key is to make Lin a better spot up shooter, which he could fix with time.

I like Houston's playoff chances in the future, they have a good group of young players. Omer Asik has looked infinity times better on offense. In his Chicago Bull days, he would shit himself if he gets the ball on offense. Either botching a lay up or kick out to a teammate without looking at the basket. Chandler Parsons is emerging as one of the better Sophomores of last year's draft. His numbers have dramatically increased and makes the Rockets look like a promising team. (In terms of Rookie development).

Knicks: There wasn't much going for the New York Knicks, except for Chris Copeland. This 28 year old rookie knows how to score and has 29 points to prove it. He is a perfect fit in this system, a stretch 4 that can hit threes will provide Knicks plenty of space. If he can remain consistent, he can be huge off the bench once Carmelo Anthony returns.

The Bad

Rockets: The defense didn't sustain for long periods, most of it was gone by the first half. Both teams turned the ball over at least 17 times and scored 20 points off the mistakes.

Knicks: Well, when your offense relies on threes and a Superstar to create opportunities, you can't really hope to win without either of them. The highly praised ball movement of the Knicks was replaced by Raymond Felton's over dribbling. Felton definitely seemed like he was trying to prove that he is better than Jeremy Lin, which ultimately led to terrible possessions. He took the first shot after every single screen, and rarely looked for his teammates. I don't even know why Steve Novak was on the floor, considering that no one ran screens for him.

On the defensive side, it was the worst performance since the last Houston loss. The Knicks are 0-2 against the Rockets (Both were blowouts). The perimeter defense is letting people go in and out at will. Felton and Kidd could not keep up and gave all of the responsibility to Tyson Chandler. Who naturally, can not do everything. The Rockets scored 52 points in the paint, just look at Jeremy Lin's shot chart. (Via: @ESPNStatsInfo)

Things weren't any better in transition, they allowed 25 fast break points. Guys were leaking out and the Knicks didn't slow anybody down. This won't entirely become a problem, the real issue was effort, they didn't seem like they wanted to win.

Tim Duncan Opens a Car Customization Shop in San Antonio.

Photos by Andrew Link

If you were to rank Tim Duncan amongst the Greatest NBA power forwards, he would be near or at the top of that list. Now rank them according to how entertaining they are, Tim Duncan would probably be at the bottom of this list. It is an universal fact that Tim Duncan, is while one of NBA's best is also the most boring player ever. His face is always emotion-less during games, there is nothing flashy about his style of play and their isn't anything interesting about him off court. Well, besides this Halloween photo of him and Tony Parker holding fake guns up to a fake Joey Crawford.

Tim knows he can't play basketball forever, so during last year's lockout, he decided to pursue his other interests. He recently opened up Black Jack Speed Shop, a new car customization shop in San Antonio. This is quite a surprise. A guy like Tim Duncan who likes to keep things plain and simple has a car shop that pimp out people's rides. I don't know if this is sign of how little we really know about Tim, but I have a feeling that once he retires, he will become a TV personality, get his own reality show on MTV and it might have a little something to do with cars. Or I can be totally wrong, which tends to be the case.

The only thing missing to make him look like a real owner is arm tattoos.

James Harden talks about his Majestic Beard.

So, it is pretty clear that we will never see James Harden beardless again. What ever happened to the innocent one.

SB Nation Arizona

He once walked the streets with a bare face,
Then puberty came to end those days.
He let his beard grow and grow,
Now he has no neck to show.

More NBA Christmas Carols - Dallas Mavericks Edition.

We already know Dirk Nowitzki is one of NBA's best karaoke singers, so it is no surprise that he sang better than all of his teammates. But Coach Rick Carlisle trumps them all, who knew he had a goofy side, I mean just go Google his name. Every single photo involved him looking frustrated or animated over a call. It is great he is finally embracing the Jim Carrey that is in him, or more appropriately on him.

If you are keeping count, Dallas moves up to the top spot of my Christmas carol power rankings, taking over the poor effort by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Try Tony Parker's "Le Tony Burger" from France.

I think it is safe to assume that Tony Parker never dunks because someone in the stands is always eating a Le Tony Burger, even though you can only get it in France. Or is it someone on the bench? They do have two other French players on the Spurs. It can't be Nando De Colo because he is way too skinny and only eats his own chicken. So that leaves us with Boris Diaw. For a NBA player that gets significant minutes, you would think he would be in better shape.That is unless he is eating burgers on the bench. You can't blame him, just look at how fancy those French burgers look.

Stephen Jackson threatens to go in Serge Ibaka's mouth.

We all know Stephen Jackson and Metta World Peace are bros, they played in Indiana together when MWP was still Ron Artest. They went through Malice in Palace together, and even though Stephen Jackson knew he was putting his NBA career in danger, he still fought with Ron Artest because he protects his family.

So when Serge Ibaka got a little too close in MWP's mug, Captain Jack took upon twitter to call him out.

While Jackson is not the most physically intimidating player compared to the likes of Ibaka, he is a real scrappy dude and everyone he played with have all said they wouldn't want to be on the opposite side in a fight. I have seen him beat dudes to a pulp and would never doubt his abilities, but if I was Serge Ibaka how are you suppose to be scared of a guy that admitted his guilty pleasure song was Ashlee Simpsons' pieces of me.

For real. That is actually what he said in the recent interview with ESPN. And apparently he listens to it right before games. My whole world just exploded, along with the coffee that I spewed out of my mouth when I read the article. I can not believe this, a guy that got into a club fight, hit by a car at 45 mph, lost all his teeth and had plastic surgery on his lip without anesthesia listens to Ashlee Simpson to relax before games. Excuse me while I curl up into a ball and allow this emotional roller coaster that I am experience to sit for a minute.

Notes: Memphis Grizzlies vs. San Antonio Spurs [12/01/12]

San Antonio Spurs 99 - Memphis Grizzlies 95

The Good

Spurs: Tony Parker is a genius. What he does on the basketball court defies everything the NBA once was. This is your run of a mill 6 foot 2 point guard, not particularly athletic or has outstanding play making ability, yet he still dominates this game. He is a genius because he fully understands the game of basketball, has the experience that earned him Championships and knows how to win.

Tony is well aware with his abilities, he is quick off the dribble, a proficient finisher at the rim and a consistent mid range shooter. More importantly, you will never see him go beyond his skills set. And the Spurs already have that in Manu Ginobili, another one would make Coach Pop go bald. Part of what makes him great is that his teammates also recognizes those qualities and amplify them.

San Antonio made Mike Conley Jr. and the rest of the Memphis Grizzlies chase after Tony Parker the entire game. There is nobody in the NBA better at utilizing screens like the 4 time All Star, once he rids of Conley (or other Memphis guards), the slow footed big that follows will only see back of his jersey as he gently lays the ball into the hoop.

Tim Duncan remains incredibly efficient and is posting the best numbers out of his past 3 seasons. He scored 21 of his 27 points in just the first half, cleverly taking advantage of the Spurs spacing. DeJuan Blair gets a shout out for being probably the best Zach Randolph stopper, his pure strength, weight, width and footwork are a perfect match.

Credit to Coach Pop for going to small late, Patty Mills, and Matt Bonner gave San Antonio much needed three point scoring. Everyone needs stop what they are doing right now and give Matt Bonner some love. Who would have thought the Red Rocket had the defensive ability to guard Zach Randolph down the stretch. Gary Neal was a big part of the comeback, scored 10 points in the fourth to bring this game into overtime.


Grizzlies: If you looked at the box score for this game and ignore the final score. There was no way you would have thought Memphis actually led by more than 10 points and kept it close throughout the contest. Simply put, this was an ugly game, neither team shot over 42 percent from the field (San Antonio - 42 percent, Memphis - 36 percent) and the Grizzlies made the best out of it. The only notable highlight of the offense was Mike Conley Jr. and Marc Gasol's two man game. They ran a simple pick and pop that made the paint packing Spurs pay.

On the defensive end, they played fantastic individual defense with the exception of Conley, who we all know by now, got killed by Tony Parker.  After letting Duncan get 21 in the first half, they came back to hold him to 6 points by adjusting their rotations and help defense.


The Bad

Spurs: Manu Ginobili has not been himself to start this season. Yes, he did hit the three pointer to bring the game into overtime, but he is averaging a career low in field goal percentage (40 percent) and the lowest points per game since his rookie season. He had 6 of San Antonio's 18 turnovers. Luckily, Memphis didn't take care of the ball too well either, losing it 20 times. I wasn't kidding when I said this game was ugly.

Grizzlies: The groin injury of Tony Allen. He would have been the solution to Tony Parker. According to NBA advanced stats, the point guard doesn't do too well against this Tony. To add to the personnel woes, the Memphis bench was terribly inefficient, they shot 8 for 28 from the field and did not hold up on the other end. Memphis's transition defense in the first half was a joke. It is not an understatement when I say that Tony Parker repeatedly out ran the entire team from end to end. He looked like he was LeBron James on a fast break. Speaking which, the Grizzlies allowed 22 fast break points.I am not sure how many second chance points the Spurs actually have, but I am certain they scored off every offensive rebound.

Memphis desperately needs a consistent outside threat because they can not find any space for Zach Randolph to operate. Tough night for Z-Bo, if he wasn't forced to throw up a contested shot, he was missing open layups.

Notes: San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat [11/29/12]

Miami Heat 105 - San Antonio Spurs 100

The Good

Heat: They didn't get embarrassed on their home floor by a San Antonio Spurs B team.

Spurs: This is still a Spurs basketball team and can definitely hold their own. Their flawless, unselfish ball movement, although sometimes unnecessary wreaked havoc among the Miami defense. They read the Heat infamous ball handler trap quick and rewarded the screen slipping Tiago Splitter. The Brazilian's height did cause match up problems for the opponent bigs, unfortunately he did not get the ball as much as he would have liked.

Everyone on this team can shoot, especially when they are wide open. All it took was some dribble penetration to draw attention for kick outs to patient shooters and the buckets naturally fell. The 10 three pointers they had in this game kept it interesting, but at the end of the day, they are just a bunch of good back up players.

The Bad

Heat: This team has yet to find their title earning defense, they look sluggish, and are always a step slower. Losing Shane Battier is a huge hit, his versatility on this end of the floor covers up a lot of holes the Miami exposes in their risky approaches. Wrinkle head's importance is irreplaceable, even more so when they have to play the defensively challenged Rashard Lewis in his place.

Dwyane Wade has not been the same player ever since he switched shoe brands, he looks old and beaten up. I am sure he will find himself somewhere in the season, but as of right now, he is a liability on defense, (just a bystander in transition) and has not proven to be a reliable offense tool.

Is it just me or are you sick of LeBron James just not going 100 percent until his team is down in the fourth quarter. This was a game that should have ended early and quickly. I understand that he wants do more than just score for his team. However if your team is on the brink of losing to second unit team, just because you want to pass the ball when you have the ability to get to the basket at will and draw 2 million fouls, you should really reconsider your game. There are times when a Superstar has to take a game over by himself. We saw already saw that in you, in the game 6 of that Boston series and the 32 point second half against the Houston Rockets. Now, we want you to hone that beast, and unleash it in the right circumstances. For God's sake, you had the chubby Boris Diaw, although a solid defender, is too slow-footed to guard you. You could have gotten right past him even if you go at half speed.

Spurs: No Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili or Danny Green. They lost and might get an undeserving punishment from David Stern, because no one out trolls the commissioner.

Oh, and Gary Neal might just be one of the worst defenders ever, he makes a 37 year old Ray Allen look like a good off the dribble, attack the basket type of player, something I can't type without giggling like one of those kids on Barney.

A Quick Round Up - November 29th, 2012.

Stats Rundown:

David Lee was unstoppable in Oracle Arena, 31 points (13 of 15 shooting), 9 rebounds, 1 steal, and a block against the Denver Nuggets.

Block Party: Kenneth Faried pinned every single Warrior shot into the backboard with his 5 blocks in the loss. He also had 10 points and 7 rebounds.

Game Winner: Ray Allen did Ray Allen things and once again, LeBron finds Jesus Shuttlesworth for the game sealing dagger against the San Antonio Spurs B team.

Nice Try, Old Man.: Mike Miller at his current age and condition actually attempted a fast break lay up and of course gets embarrassed by a dude signed for 10 day contract. Stick to shooting, dude.

Funny Notes: Following Joey Crawford's hilarious high stepping, this ref decided add a little flavor to his blocking foul call. More ref fun, the officials at the Golden State Warriors game blatantly missed a momentum shifting call, that gave the Warriors a free bucket. Erik Spoelstra wasn't too happy with the Heat and Coach Karl had a bandage on top of his head because he hit himself trying to close the car trunk.

Sager Suit: North Caroline Blue? (Via: @cjzero)

Gregg "The Troll Master" Popovich: Coach Pop was having a trolling spree today, first he sent Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Danny Green home for some rest. Then he trolled the media and Charles Barkley. He almost got away with trolling David Stern too, but his second unit failed this one on the road, and he could possibly face an undeserving severe punishment. Oh yea, he also joked with LeBron too.

Notes: Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder [11/28/12]

Oklahoma City Thunder 120 - Houston Rockets 98

The Good

Thunder: They shot 54% from the field, everything fell into and through the hoop. Serge Ibaka's jump shot has noticeably improved, he went 11 of 13 for 23 points. Good Russell Westbrook showed up, he was somewhat under control (5 turnovers), his dribble penetration and usage of the screens makes the floor so much bigger for his teammates. The pick and roll tore up the porous Houston defense, Russ was given all the options. Depending the direction of the screener takes (in most cases, it is Serge Ibaka, but this works with Nick Collison too), he will read it and make the right decision. On top of that, Kevin Durant did the best Kevin Durant things, 37 points and got himself to the line.

On defense, they were in sync, their rotations can not be any better. The ball handler trap off the screen forced multiple turnovers. Every James Harden move was read to perfection, and prevented. He basically got blocked every time he tried his luck in the paint.

Rockets: Patrick Patterson (27 points) seems like a guy that can consistently help with the scoring load. He takes good shots and is decent in the low block. Omer Asik finally learned how to how to do a lay up, which will be useful in future. A sudden improvement in his offensive repertoire that goes under scouting reports can surprise a few teams.

The Bad

Thunder: I hate to say none, but they played a perfect game.

Rockets: The non-existent defense and bench play. They are mismatched in every position, Russ shattered Jeremy Lin and Kevin Durant torched any one within his parameter. On offense, they could not execute plays, once they get stuck in the OKC ball handler trap, they have already lost half of the shot clock. As a result, most shots came from isolations. They dribbled more than they passed and barely moved without the ball.

James Harden did try to do a lot on his own, and it obviously didn't work. He needs to get his teammates involved, or nothing will happen. Jeremy Lin is not quite ready to be a play maker, and with Russ draped all over him, his sub-par ball handling forced him to pass early. This team is still too young, they need time to develop and an answer to their identity crisis.

Jeremy Lin was mistaken for Ron Jeremy.

Yep, there are definitely similarities between Jeremy Lin and Ron Jeremy, one is a NBA point guard that became the story of the league for 2 weeks and the other is a famous adult film actor, it is like they are the same person. Honest mistake.

And way to go Jeremy Lin, enforcing every single Asian stereotype possible.

Note: To the people leaving Rush Hour jokes on the video, please stop, it is not funny and they can never compare to that broken English and high pitch voice.
