Matt Bertz/Inked Magazine talks to Rashad McCants about the player’s tattoos, life in the league, the Garnett trade, and NBA groupies:
I don’t know about groupies showing up at the hotel, but they know who
you are when you go out. They attach themselves to you. A lot of them
are pretty good and know what they are doing. They want to be
associated with the players. They never come up to you. A lot of times
they try to dance in your vision to get your attention, or they will
holler at your boy or have one of their friends go up to your boys and
introduce them. They get pretty creative.

I did watch the first 1 and a half quarters, saw Foye’s boomlet of
points that contributed to the quick start. I also note that Bosh went
off for 28 a game after Boozer’s 34–slippage for Jefferson? Frankly, I
didn’t think Jefferson played that badly on D vs. Boozer. And watching
Bosh nail that well-guarded trey as the first quarter was ending was an
omen that even good defense wasn’t going to stop him tonight.

From B92.net (in reference to this article ):
Serbian basketball player Marko Jarić, who plays in the
U.S., has apparently been punished for this criticism of that country’s
position in his country’s affairs: "NBA scandal – Jarić benched because
of Kosovo!!!"

Al Jefferson does some things incredibly well. His touch is as good as
any big man’s in the NBA. I can’t really think of one better. I mean,
Dwight Howard might be a better finisher, but that’s because he dunks
everything. But as far as scoring from a variety of angles and always
getting a nice, high, soft shot up? Who’s better? Gasol maybe? Bosh is
up there. But Jefferson might be the best…

Austin Burton/Dime Magazine on Antoine Walker:
Third, why does it seem like every NBA veteran who’s so much as sniffed
an All-Star Game once in their career feels like they’re entitled to a
roster spot on a contending team? Granted, every one of us has at one
time or another worked in a crappy situation and longed for something
better, but even if you’re playing for the 12-44 T’wolves, it’s still a
pretty good place to be.

Asked if Brewer has hit the proverbial wall for a rookie not used to
such a long season, Wittman said, “Could be, I can’t answer that. Yeah,
he has gone through ups and down, which rookies do. He has played
pretty good and then he has had his tough moments. It is a learning
process for him. Eighty-two is just a number when you tell a guy that
the first time, but until you play 82, you really have no idea what a
grind it is. I think he’s learning that. He will get stronger because
he works hard at. This will be beneficial for him.”

Frank Zicarelli/Sun Media on assistant coach Ed Pinckney:
A member of the expansion Raptors and the team’s first captain, Pinckney was holding court as the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves conducted their pre-game routine.
