Around the NBA: February 2008 (News and other games)

I know Glenn will be rooting for Bawston today. Traitor.

Rasheed Wallace will replace Kevin Garnett at the All-Star Game. "Motherfucker," mused Wallace.

Even with KG out the "scrubs" on the Celtics are stepping up. Rondo leads the friggin' team in rebounding without Garnett, Glenn Davis (sounds familiar) has played well, and Leon fucking Powe has as well.

What happened to the Pistons Notes thread?

His statistics are a modest 8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.

Playing the role of Damon Jones this year is Detroit's normally low-key Richard Hamilton, who told me after the Pistons' 94-90 win over the Hawks that he's the man to beat this year.

"I know for a fact Kobe can't beat me in a shootout, so that's one down," said Hamilton, who at 46.0 percent on the season is well ahead of fellow Pennsylvanian Bryant's 35.4 percent. "I just gotta figure out a way to beat the other guys."

Hamilton also assessed himself as the toughest competitor in the six-man field -- one that also includes defending champion Jason Kapono of Toronto, two-time winner Peja Stojakovic of New Orleans, Cleveland's Daniel Gibson and Phoenix's Steve Nash.

Mind you, this was with Hamilton laid low by a bout of food poisoning that caused him to miss the morning shootaround. He spelled out the beginning of an unprintable world to describe how he felt after the game, in which he shot 4-for-12 for a quiet 12 points.

So if he can muster this much confidence when he's under the weather, how much more trash talk will we see from him in the next four days?

There's only one undisputed form of abortion, and its postbirth: Jason Maxiell

I'm more interested in the 3 point contest than I am in the dunk contest. Actually, I'm not interested in the dunk contest at all.

SI is reporting Stern is considering putting 5 NBA franchises in Europe within the next 10 years.

Thoughts?

the nba has been talking about that FOREVER. i think he just likes talking about globalization. i can see the nba buying a euro league, but it would probably have more in common with the DL than the L.
