Stats don't lie...looks like Bynum's 15 and 8 just didn't cut for Stern to name him as a replacement. "Chris Kaman has replaced Brandon Roy for the Western Conference in the All-Star game."http://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA/statuses/8820548444

They are playing like the best team in the NBA right now if they add a guy like Iggy or Jamison then I don't see any team being able to beat them. without a trade they have as good a shot as Lakers, Magic, Celtics, Nuggets e.t.c...

Fireflighters sends Aaron Afflalo and Boogie's 3rd round pick to Three Wolves for my 2nd round pick next draft

Every decade or so Nike really knocks it out of the park. This time is now. After years of waiting eagerly, I've finally found a successor to my treasured, but long defunct Air Burst Leathers... The Air Max 2009 Leather. I bought two pair. Three cheers for me. The last really cool Nike shoe that wasn't a re-issue, the aforementioned burst:

Regardless of wether Bynum or Kobe will play, if you watched enough of the Lakers this season, you know that Phil loves to pull the bigs a bit out of the paint on occasion and go to Artest almost right under the rim. Being as strong as Ron Ron is, he normally gets away with a basket, a foul and sometimes both. How would you cover against this with out current roster?

Nando De Colo, who was drafted with the 53rd pick by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2009 NBA Draft, was named Player of The Week in Liga ACB. The French point guard posted 29 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 steals in 29 minutes in a 89-69 win vs Granada.HoopsNotes

I know that frequency matching is used to determine the real flex of the shaft. It's measure in CPM using a Frequency analyzer. Correct me if I'm wrong.... So my question is based on Frequency analyzer numbers, is there a standard number for a regular flex, Stiff flex and X-Stiff flex ? EG: when you frequency matching a stiff flex shaft, the standard says it's only a regular flex. So no matter the shaft brand, you can find out the real flex.

It was another big game, another massive punch to the guts as Arsenal fell to a 2-0 loss against league leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.Didier Drogba predictably got both goals, punishing two pieces of slack defending by Gael Clichy.The first saw Clichy leave his position on the far post for no apparent reason, allowing Drogba free reign to smack home John Terry’s header. Had the Frenchman stayed put he would have had the relatively comfortable job of pumping the ball clear of danger before Drogba was allowed to arrive on the scene.
