I saw Blake highlights for the first time Saturday; Awesome!

I'm afraid he's going to seriously injure himself on the rim one of these days.

pretty amazing turnaround after managing only 71 against phoenix friday night...

And us Suns fans appreciated that effort on Friday!

Speaking of Suns games and the potential for injury on the rim, did you see this during a 3rd quarter break during the game against Charlotte last week? Suns Gorilla Verve Sol Patrol member, Nick Corrales dunks himself:

The Bucks lost to the Suns last night. Why is this notable?

@Ticomaya,

it's always so odd when a franchise's domination over another stretches out over generations like that.

chances are good that there's no one left on either side from that first loss 24 years ago...

ray allen discussing what it takes to be a great shooter...

Quote:

“It’s so much more than what someone gives you. It takes so much more in this league to be great. It’s sort of like a love-hate relationship because you love it, but you hate it at the same time because you have to commit to it. You can’t be in two different places at once. You can’t try to do too much, and be social and live this glamorous life.

“If you want to be great you have to devote yourself and commit yourself to this job. Getting the rest at nighttime, eating right and avoiding the temptations that go on (while) on the road or whatever. This is a 365-day-a-year job, and when you commit to it, it pays you back. I know that whatever I chose to do I would have been great at it, because of my ability to commit.”

Wow, I thought the Knicks trading half their team for Carmello Anthony was a questionable move, but this seems even worse.

Good! Go Magic!

@kickycan,

Yeah, it's a head-scratcher.

@George,

my initial reaction was the trade made no sense.
apparently ainge thought perk was gonna test the free agent waters this summer, so he went out and got something for him now
instead of losing him for nothing later.
they really emptied the bench, dumping all the scrubs...

so it all comes down to shaq now.
if he gets (and stays) healthy for the playoffs, they're golden.
otherwise it could be a fast playoff exit...

@Region Philbis,

Not sure that even a healthy Shaq gives you more than 30-35 good minutes a game in the playoffs at this point. He hasn't exactly been avoiding foul trouble in recent years.

That's cool, though. I've still got a soft spot for Hedo.

@patiodog,

two benefits of having a healthy shaq:
his ability to draw double (sometimes triple) teams -- which frees up the big 4 to do their respective things, and his intimidating presence on D.
he doesn't have to score a point as long as he rebounds and clogs the middle.
when healthy, he was also the beneficiary of many rondo lobs this year...

K-Love had another monster game -- 37 pts, 23 boards -- his 4th 30-20 of the year.
Pau Gasol has the only other one this season...
