Great Exercises in Internet NBA-Related Postings 4.7.08

• Hey! The D-Leaguers did something right! Ahearn even had a 5-2 Assist to Turnover margin (D-LEAGUE!)! Surely Winderman has to give them their full due without mocking them now...Son of a!
• It's the end of one line for Eric Snow, and the beginning of another.
  
• It's this kind of positive attitude that's really kept Cleveland in the spotlight all these years.
• Allow me to just say one thing about the Western Conference playoff race... BWAHAHAHAHAHA...There. Now, much like Warriors fans, I feel much better.
  
• Rod Thorn's gonna do a lookeeloo before making any decisions. Smart move. And if Diop goes free agent, I'm telling you right now, he'll be this summer's "Oh My God, they paid WHAT for him?!" award winner. He might as well change his name to Raef LaFrentz.
  
• Brand is optimistic. There is literally nothing that can keep the man down. He's a Goddamn Care Bear.
  
• Please. Please. Let JVG do color by himself. Don't bring in a replacement. Just let him do it. You don't even need Breen. Just let JVG casually comment on the game.
  
• A mock draft to peruse. I'm not keen on the Miami taking Beasley pick, I think Rose is a lock after the last two weeks combined with the Wade statements. I LOVE the CDR pick by Cleveland at 19, though.
  
• A confusing negative appraisal of where the Mavs are at.
  
• New York beat writers are literally incapable of saying anything positive at this point, not that I blame them.
  
• The word is: premature. Tell you what, come see me when the Suns go nine minutes without scoring a field goal again, and I'll pay you $100, k? Huge win for the Mavs, not that big of a loss for the Suns. Bear in mind that they still have a great shot at the 5 seed, and I still see LA taking the 1 spot over New Orleans (though New Orleans is the better team and my favorite to win the championship right now). As long as the Suns duck the Lakers, they're where they want to be.
  
• HoopsAddict lays out the case for CP3, MVP.
  
• I think it's time to ask what Michael Redd's value is at this point.
  
• A terrific piece on the Knicks from Wages of Wins.
  
• Um. Ew.
  
• Coro says to beware Utah.
• Tracy McGrady versus TMAC ATTAX.
• I will scream this until my lungs give out. Doc Rivers is not suddenly a good coach. He still sucks. He just has so much talent, there's no way to screw up.
  
• Fun with hyperbole.
• The Hornets are really good. And from this, we can assume that Kobe Bryant is the MVP. What?!
• Lets' breakdown that CP3 Bobblehead, shall we?
• NO CAN HAS TEH AGE LIMIT INCREESEZ.
• I like to call this post, "How To Lose Your Wife In Ten Days."
• The firing line. Go ahead and throw Mitchell on that list.
  
• Insert joke here.
• So, this was after Saturday's loss. So today, after losing to the f'ing Sonics, should be fun to watch.
  
• No, no, Cleveland, everything's fine. Don't be worried.
• The Hawks going to zone is a really good idea, especially in the East. Use the size, guys. Use the size!
• Ah. My favorite. The "season" part of Half-Man, Half-Season.
  
• I've already read this about a half dozen times. I'm not worthy.
• This post was unnecessary, but it's in depth. Why unnecessary? Because here should have been the conversation. Charles: "I guarantee that the Nuggets will beat the Hornets in the first round of the playoffs." America: "Shut up." I love Chuck, but damn.
  
• Most lethal go-to move of all time?
• Great interview with Saunders.
  
• Martell Webster has an irregular heart beat. Best wishes.
• One, way to go Kurt! Two, he's right. That defense is going to be an issue.
• Apparently everyone in Utah has completely lost their mind.
  
• Nice move by management, no sarcasm.
