Yes! Things are starting to turn around:

Stern Admits Mistake Introducing New Ball

"I'm not pleased, but I'm realistic," he told the Times. "We've got to do the right thing here. And of course, the right thing is to listen to our players. Whether it's a day late or not, we're dealing with this."

Marko Jaric throws his (back out) jersey on backwards:

Funny, yes, but much in the same way the Borat movie pokes fun at stupid people by out-stupiding them, so too has Marko satirically shown the NZA how assiten its implementation of the new (radioactive) ball, against the best wishes of the lowly cogs in the machinery, really is.

Ben Wallace did a similar thing with his headband. So did Shaq with his knee. All were hilarious, if you know the time.

It's all subtle subterfuge.

Derek Fisher is a genius.

Vive la resistance!

NEW YORK -- The players' association filed two unfair labor practice charges Friday against the NBA over issues with the new ball and the league's crackdown on player complaints.

BTW, I caught the Bucks/Suns game today, and it sure as hell looks like Ill Mare is back, baby.

Hokay, you die now!

(You're gonna hafta cut and paste that shit, 1st-grade style, because The Powers That Be won't let me make it a link like Zelda's boy toy. I ain't lyin'.)

Why. Won't. You. Die?

Last year was the bast evar as far as stories, rivalries, and happy endings go. And whut (??thee album) made it double plus perfect was that every week no fewer than 3 NBA games were shown on Korean TV.

This seaz? Not as much. Read: like none. 1 game every 2 weeks, on a Saturday, does not NBA coverage make.

Why the lack of games? I have one theory, supported by the deluge of KBL games broadcasted almost 24/7 from the world's most terrifically-hateful-to-foreign-sports nation, but I'll hold my tongue for now and instead level blame at the ball.

Fuck the ball. Fuck it up its motherfucking ass.

PS - I'm moving to China.

No NBA games today. Now, you might say, "That's because it's Thanksgiving, silly." But we all know the real reason no games were on the sked:



PS - This blog has legs, I can feel it.

So Nate Rob, one of the L's shortest players, stuffed Yao Ming, one of the league's tallest.

Welcome to the new NBA, where anything can happen. I mean, the Utah fucking Jazz are 10-1.

Thanks for turning the NBA upside down, new NBA ball.

I hate Vince Carter. I hate the new NBA ball. And, it seems, somebody up there hates me back.

(Oh yeah, I also now officially hate Mark Jackson. Way to fellate the commish, Mark.)
