Celtics 17 defines Pittsnogle. There’s another definition, but it’s too gross for me to link to. If you’re interested, go to urban dictionary on your own and look it up with the spelling “pittsnoggle.”

Golden State of Mind might have reason to worry about foul-happy Patrick O’Bryant.

Well now… somebody lost weight! Zach Randolph!

You know why John Salmons didn’t go to Toronto? Because of God. Maybe Iverson had a prayer of his own answered.

LeBron was on the Best Damn Sports Show in Vegas the other day. He says he saw the Blue Man Group perform and he’s been playing blackjack at the $25 table. Easy there Barkley.

Uh… I have nothing else to add.
