Charlie Sheen manages to channel both AI and Spree in one interview:

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/41824830/ns/today-entertainment/


He claimed he never missed a day’s shooting: “Not a day that cost anybody any money,” he said. “I missed practice. We’re talking about practice ... practice is for amateurs, you know?”


Sheen accused his producers, Lorre in particular, of trying to destroy him and his family by “trying to take all my money, and leave me with no means to support my family. It’s not rocket science, you know?”

The Heat are not fun to watch.

Pavlovic to the Celtics, Leon Powe to the Grizzlies, Curry may or may not be going to the Heat.

What happened to Cato? Retirement?

Kelvin Cato?
His career ended before the 06-07 season.

When we got him in the Darko trade I thought he still had some game left, too.

I was checking to see if Cato was still in Europe or something like that, and ran into:

More good stuff from :stein:




After the Denver Nuggets shed millions in 2010-11 payroll when they finally dealt Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks, only seven teams are on course to pay luxury tax in July.

That the NBA's group of taxpayers is down to seven means the rebate teams under the tax line will receive is projected to be a mere $2.38 million per team.

Last season's rebate for teams that stayed under the tax line was close to $4 million, since there were 11 taxpaying teams forced to pay a collective $111 million in dollar-for-dollar penalties for being above the tax line.

The seven teams on course to pay tax in the summer, barring unforeseen payroll reductions between now and June 30:

1. Lakers $20.07 million
2. Magic $19.59 million
3. Mavericks $16.33 million
4. Celtics $6.37 million
5. Jazz $4.96 million
6. Blazers $3.79 million
7. Rockets $452,254

Total: $71.56 million

Per-team payout for teams under the $70.31 million tax threshold: $2.38 million

PS -- Multiple teams on the list above will have their tax bills reduced slightly by salary that players are required to forfeit to the league during suspensions. Current examples: Orlando's bill is due to be reduced $75,669 for the recent one-game suspension served by Dwight Howard and could be lowered further if Howard, as seems likely, has to sit out additional games because of accumulated technical fouls. Boston ($38,836) and Portland ($33,402) are also scheduled to receive slight reductions because of suspensions served earlier in the season by Delonte West and Andre Miller, respectively.

03-13-2011, 08:11 PM
They're up to 45 with 5:30 to play. Bulls record of 49 is safe.

How the fuck does an NBA team only score 49 points in a game??

What's this "593 fouls without a flagrant" thing? Was Van Gundy arguing he shouldn't be suspended for his techs because he doesn't commit flagrants or something?

I just found him through a RT by the Suns account. I can't believe that I didn't look for him before, but I wasn't following. His tweets look good, too!

No. Wall threw a weak ass punch to Z's side and Z walked him a couple steps back without throwing any blows.
