BARCELONA — Latavious Williams misses American food. Ask him what he craves most and there’s no hesitation. “My Auntie’s barbecue,” says Williams. But as his Auntie fires up the grill in Starkville, Mississippi, Latavious is playing power forward for Joventut Badalona of the Spanish League. When his two cousins visit later this month, odds are they won’t be sneaking any ribs through customs, either. No matter. The 6-foot-8 Williams, who says he lost a ton of weight upon his arrival in Spain, says he

Rondo silent after triple-double vs. Rose-less Bulls
Shame on Rajon Rondo, shame on the Boston Celtics … and shame on David Stern and the NBA if they let Rondo and the Celtics get away with a clear breach of NBA rules and locker room etiquette. You want to hear what Rondo had to say after putting up a triple-double in yesterday’s 95-91 victory over the Chicago Bulls? ”
Sunday Night’s Post-Game Notes
Since coming into the league, Kobe Bryant has had 16 game-winning shots, more than any other player. Carmelo Anthony is second, with 14. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Celtics have held their last 25 opponents to under 100 points. This is the 7th longest streak in the shot-clock era.

Fantasy Spin: Sunday, Feb. 12
Highlight Performance: Kevin Love MIN– There is simply nothing this man cannot do from a basketball standpoint. Standing at a relatively small 6”10, the All-Star power forward is an absolute rebound machine, as well as a deadly scorer from every spot on the court. Last night was a perfect example, as he scored 32 points, and ripped down 21 rebounds. He became the franchise leader with his 6th 30-20 game of the season, passing Kevin Garnett. When Love is on, he’s
The Bernucca List — Interloper Edition
These quizzes have become a hit on Wednesdays. In researching today’s Power Rankings, I came upon a peculiarity that merited an extra list. (Bernucca doesn’t know I’m doing it.) Our readers are smart, and someone will nail this almost instantly. But … To quote Bernucca, who wrote another meritorious Sunday notes column, be specific in your answer. Or to better quote Bernucca (those who know him will appreciate this): “BE SPECIFIC IN YOUR ANSWER!!!!” The winner will be acknowledged via Twitter. Eligibility is limited to those
Tonight’s best game: Chicago at Boston
The Chicago Bulls finish their season-high nine-game road trip with a flourish. After trampling doormats New Jersey, New Orleans and Charlotte, the Bulls test their 6-2 road record against the Boston Celtics in Sunday’s best game, a matinee affair. Unfortunately, after Saturday’s spectacular point guard matchup between youngsters Jeremy Lin and Ricky Rubio, the second act pitting established stars Derrick Rose against Rajon Rondo may have to wait. Rose aggravated his back against the Nets on Monday, forcing him to sit out
Sheridan’s Sunday Power Rankings
Jeremy Lin had a nice week, to put it mildly. Nobody in New York talks about Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire anymore. So they Knicks are biggest risers in this week’s rankings, right? Wrong. (The Mavericks and Rockets are). Let’s see how Lin’s game works when the max-paid ball stopper and Mr. Apostrophe return. I’m all for the Linsanity, and Friday night was the first time in eons Kobe didn’t receive the most adulation in his annual visit to MSG. But let’s not get
