QUOTES OF THE DAY
“This is called an ass-whooping game. We’re going to open a can of ass-whoop and see what happens.” — Don Nelson.

I wasn’t even thinking about the ball, to be honest with you. As long as it’s going in, I don’t care what it’s supposed to look or feel like.” — Josh Smith.

THE LINKS…
• If you’re going to write about Eddie Johnson being charged with sexually assaulting a minor, make sure you write about the right Eddie Johnson.

• Shaq has introduced a new one-armed free throw style. And D-Wade is still complaining about the new ball.

• Cat Mobley says he’ll come off the bench.

• The Celtics picked up Luke Jackson, essentially for nothing. Wonder why they’d want Luke Jackson?

• The Pacers aren’t sure when Stephen Jackson will return.

• The Warriors found the ass-whoop.

• Eddie House is down.

• Linkstigator Nick Collison “put on a show” in the Sonics game last night. Holla!

Copious notes from the Mavs/Kings game.
• Eric Snow makes the Cavs’ rooks get him coffee and newspapers.
