hmmm...
so there’s a lot of excitement around these here parts about jon signing with the clippers. not to rain on anyone’s parade, but just to be sure everyone understands - it’s a training camp contract. he still has to make the team. he has a reasonably good chance to do so… but nothing’s final yet.
now, please return to your regularly scheduled squee. =)

Day 29 – What you’re looking forward to most in the 2010-2011 season
hmm… i think i’m most looking forward to a) watching this group come together as a unit, since it’s so different from last year’s group, and b) watching some of the less-heralded guys go to work, in particular miles and dre, who’ve been...
30 Day Duke Basketball Challenge - Day 25
Day 25 – Favorite win of all-time
well, the championships, of course. but let’s just say those 4 games kind of share a totally different plane of their own. i have to go with 82-50 as my favorite. the energy in that building was unreal. and there was SO MUCH riding on that game - the rivalry, the ACC regular-season championship, the undefeated season in cameron, the seniors’...

Day 23 – A moment that almost gave you a heart attack
i’ll skip the obvious, hayward-induced moment and go with one from earlier in the season. in the thugs, inc wake forest game, mason went down really hard on his hip and just started immediately writhing around on the ground in agony. that was terrifying, especially since he’d already fought back from the wrist injury. and...

Day 20 – A song that reminds you of Duke basketball
the first one that springs to mind is david cook’s “heroes”. i suspect i’m supposed to actually post the song, but i don’t have it in mp3 format. the reason i associate it with duke bball is that i used it in my season highlights video last year, and it turned out to be perfect. so whenever i hear the song...
