Nice win last night there Raps. Especially Jose Calderon who had the Kings on a string all night…love the nappy head on Chris Bosh too, although he looks a little like a giant version of Marquis Daniels…

Thought….Is it just me or do the Pistons lead the league in Flips? Speaking of Flips, apparently Pistons PF Rasheed Wallace and head coach Flip Saunders are no longer speaking or at least Rasheed is no longer listening…

Did you know…Dirk Nowitzki and Larry Bird are the only players in NBA history to have average 20 PPG, 9 RPG, and make 75 3-pointers in a single season. Nowitzki has done it four times compared to Bird's three ... and in four fewer seasons.

This is awesome…http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_blogs/scorecard/jimmys_blog/2007/01/most-unforgettable-musical.html

Quick football note: I read that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was now dating supermodel Gisele Bunchen, which after a couple of years of Actress Bridget Moynihan is simply not fair…if he somehow ends up with Halle Berry, I may have to put a contract out on him…

Weird…The Pacers traded SF/PF Al Harrington, SG Stephen Jackson (shooting guard…that’s funny), PG Sarunas Jasikevicius and SF Josh Powell to the Warriors PF Troy Murphy, SF Mike Dunleavy, PF Ike Diogu and PG Keith McLeod. Other than being the 2nd Sarunas (as in Marciulionis) to play for Don Nelson, this seems to be an un-eventful deal…well, on second thought, for Golden State maybe Harrington is an ideal Nelson-player who can swing 2-3-4 positions in the small ball alignment that Nellie likes so much…Jackson is full-court kind of a guy, so he might work, while Nelson’s son Donnie has coveted Jasikevicius for years since he’s the Lithuanian team national coach…Powell started in Dallas and is a transition player who might be useful…for Indiana, Murphy is a similar player to Jermaine O’Neal in that he’s not a classic back to the basket 4/5…Dunleavy is just not good and not tough and not deserving of an NBA roster spot, period…McLeod is a classic journeyman PG…Diogu, on the other hand is a talented scorer and rebounder, albeit undersized, or maybe just under-tall, kinda like a poor-man’s Zach Randolph without the jail time…he might flourish in Rick Carlisle’s half-court oriented offence…

Oops…now the Pacers are trying to send Dunleavy to the LA Clippers for SG Corey Maggette, who has been a target of the Pacers since Artest was on the trading block last year…

Bill Simmons continues to be funny…http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/070117&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab1pos2
