SH Blog: Waxing poetic on new Brooklyn Arena, which is dark tonight

by

Congratulations to the New Jersey Brooklyn Nets for resisting the urge to relocate tonight’s opener to the Meadowlands, or to the Prudential Center in Newark, or to the Teaneck Armory (if it still exists) — all places they used to call home. Their super-hyped opener against the New York Knicks has been postponed until Nov. 26 because of the effects of Hurricane Sandy, which caused more devastation than New Yorkers and NewJerseyans are accustomed to handling. Fistfights at gas stations? Check. An inordinate amount

Uncle Drew is Back; Jumps the Shark

by

Uncle Drew is back, and Kevin Love and Bill Russell have joined Kyrie Irving for a second installment of the extended mockumentary commercial that went viral over the summer. Yes, Kyrie Irving once again spent several hours getting made up to look like a 70-year-old man, and the makeup folks apparently spent considerably less time adding a few years to Love’s look. As you will see below, this sequel can’t hold a candle to the original, which is shown below — underneath

Enes Kanter, Fashion Icon

by

From KSL.com The big Turk left Utah’s game against Dallas with blood covering his face after taking an elbow from Vince Carter, but he returned and had six points and seven rebounds in the Jazz’s 113-94 victory Wednesday night. We have already told you that Kanter is our favorite player (until someone deactivates his Twitter account), and we are giving his an “Evet” shoutout for his stylish look as he presumably went trolling for company after the game. Kanter

Who did best in the James Harden trade? Kyrie Irving for MVP?

by

Who do you think won the James Harden trade? We have two widely varying opinions today in new items posted on the site — the first, by Chris Bernucca, skewering the Thunder for breaking up a key member of a potential championship threesome; the other an examination by Jeremy Bauman of how Kevin Martin’s game might be successfully worked into the Thunder’s offensive schemes. Both are very good articles, and they exemplify how hard it is to make a full judgement on

SH Staff Predictions for 2012-13 NBA Season

by

Predictions are like armpits. Everyone has them, and most of them stink. I could have used a different anatomical reference than armpits, but my dad reads this site and calls me on the phone and yells at me when I use naughty words, so I am holding back. But you get the idea. The opening of the NBA season means writers at all the national Web sites and newspapers will be making predictions. Most of them will be wrong. But as long as
