Full Slate Daily Roundup for Friday, November 28

Giveth:
Just days after the successful return of Deron Williams, the not-nearly-as-good and way-more-French Tony Parker had 15 points and seven assists in 16 1/2 minutes off the bench in his first game back from a sprained ankle.
Now that the Spurs are back at full strength – both Ginobili and Parker should be in everyone’s lineup from [...]

Full Slate Daily Roundup for Wednesday, November 26

For the rest of the season, on heavy schedule nights I’ll be posting a daily roundup highlighting some interesting angles I find in the box scores. I won’t find something from every game like previous roundups because it’s just too time-consuming to produce consistently. On lighter schedule nights I’ll focus on features (like earlier this [...]

Crikey!

Well the word has come down that Bucks center Andrew Bogut will miss the next 7-to-10 days with a bruised left knee. This hurts owners who have slowly watched him get better as the season went along and were pumped that he had four games on the schedule this week.

Of course, you always anticipate the return of injured players as if [...]

The Awakening

I’m often fascinated by those occasional news stories where someone wake up from a coma after a number of days/months/years. Not fascinated so much in a medical sense as I am at how that person mentally tries to catch up on what they have missed while they were “gone”.
I now have a slight idea of [...]

Life Interrupts Hoops: Good News/Bad News/More Good News Part 1

The infrequency of my posting lately has less to do with slacking and more to do with my wedding coming up on Sunday afternoon. Lots of scrambling in these last few days makes it tough to get blogging time.
