Also, has anyone made the connection between Bron' increased baldness and the size of his headband increasing? He should just shave it all off. He looks like a douche.

It really is amazing how this team has pulled it together the last month. They look like they are primed to kick some ass in the playoffs. Whatever happens next year is irrelevant at this point. Whatever happened earlier in the season with Danny "potentially" trading Wondo or Pierce is irrelevant at this point. All that matters is finishing strong and playing solid defense in the playoffs.

really ... outside of popovich ... doc rivers is coach of the year to me ... the way he's handled KG's minutes is really sheer brilliance ... and this team is playing team basketball ... extra passes ... and defending ... biggest concern come playoffs will be rebounding tho ... allen off the bench is also a great move ...

I agree completely. Doc is a great coach, and has proved it this year. Watching that game last night, I was really enjoying the way Boston plays together. Good unselfish plays and patience for the right look.

On your point about Popovich, I think he's definitely one of, if not the best coach int he league right now. The way his teams consistently, and are usually quiet in staying on top in the West is impressive. How he handles Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker is sheer brilliance to me as well. The other night when the Spurs were in SLC, their big three didn't even make the trip. Resting up his big names, and he almost pulled it off with a win. They've always had a good program in SA under Popovich.

If it's too taxing on your body, then deny the opportunity to play.

Otherwise, have some respect for the game of basketball and your country for that matter and just go play because it would be an honor to represent your country on an Olympic level.

Just my opinion, of course.

What REALLY disappoints me is that Ray Allen shares the same opinion as Wade.

Exactly. If you don't like it, don't fucking play. I used to not mind Wade. He has really turned into a whiny, little bitch. I love how badly he gets booed in his hometown when he comes to play the Bulls these days.

SHOCKED that Ray Allen said the same thing. I always though he was one of the classier guys in the league.

Agreed. Ray Allen really disappointed me very much saying the same thing. One of my favorite players.

Good article about how the Spurs play such beautifully, fundamental basketball, and are somewhat disliked because of it. Personally, I love their style of play:
