Great Exercises in Internet NBA-Related Postings 2.12.08: "Real Genius" Edition

• That douchebag won't stop posting recaps.
  
• Trouble in paradise. Or Orlando.
  
• You've all seen Real Genius, right? (No? Well, you should.) Well, the Hawks vets pulled the same trick sans lasers on the rooks.
  
• Yeah, "agendas." Like "shooting 38% and not playing any defense."
• Judging by Larry Hughes' performance last night, their plane should screw up more often.
  
• You know what I love? Optimisim. And patience.
  
• Christ, somebody actually told Odom what he's been doing wrong for...seven years. They have so much potential. And they're the 4th best team in the West.
  
• The Pistons like to go ahead and wrap things up early.
  
• Buy Low! Sell High!
• T-Mac's a b*tch. That pretty much sums it up. (Note: We're alarmed that we're doing something Tracy McGrady is not willing to do.)
• You know, we don't link to the fantastic Blazers blogs out there a lot (mostly because we know TrueHoop's going to do it). But this gives you a pretty good sense of how great they are.
  
• Mavs Moneyball has a great breakdown of where Dirk's shooting from, and how he's changing his attack. We hate to rain on this parade, but they do realize that until he starts attacking the basket, they're not going to reach their full potential, right?
• By the way, Kevin Martin is clutch. Ziller says suck an egg.
  
• Nice honesty. If Allen goes, I may get arrested in NOLA for stalking him and screaming "try making it WITHOUT Garnett and Pierce, Jackass!" which would be totally unfair. No one wants that. Send Hedo.
  
• Who wants LeBron? "You can have him." "No, I insist." "No, I insist."
• I hope TrueHoop keeps updating this so I don't have to go track it down in the bowels of ESPN. By the way, Minnesota's going to be a lot of fun to watch next year if they sign a single good free agent. Also, what if Hibbert falls all the way to 16 (not impossible)? Hibbert behind Shaq? Ooh la la.
