Good morning. There ain’t no news to report, so a little of this and a little of that. We start with Mr. Jimmy Kimmel on NBA-TV’s programming quagmire: Watching that video prompted me to check out what the folks over at NBA.com have lined up for our multimedia needs today, and it turns out the season will start in 26 days with a nice lineup of Friday night games that includes an ESPN doubleheader of Atlanta-Philadelphia and Oklahoma City-San Antonio. At

Euroleague highlights from Week 5
I am unable to post the video, but I will give you a link to highlights from Week 5 in Euroleague, which includes glimpses of Serge Ibaka and Rudy Fernandez. The video is here. Also, I again recommend giving a read to Nick Gibson’s Euroleague 101 column from yesterday. At a certain point, basketball-starved Americans are going to want to keep an eye on what is happening across the pond. CSKA Moscow (with Andrei Kirilenko filling the stat sheet, and Nenad Krstic
Memo to Stern: Pick up the phone
NEW YORK — At a certain point, this game of telephone chicken has to end. I made that point yesterday on NBCSportsTalk in the video posted above, and I’ll make it again on Day 141 of the NBA lockout (or “boycott” if we use David Boies’ preferred term.) NBA commissioner David Stern spoke on the phone yesterday with the league’s Board of Governors, and Stern can wake up this morning patting himself on the back over the fact that no details of

Lockout update: Owners have conference call today
NEW YORK — The owners’ labor relations committee will hold a conference call today, presumably to do one of two things, or both: Second-guess themselves on being so stingy with their offer last Thursday when one or two crumbs could have gotten them a deal; Plot their next move. It’ll likely be the latter, because none of them have the guts to call David Stern “Leona” for his actions last week at the Helmsley on 42nd Street, which caused nothing but
Lockout update: David Boies may be bluffing, too
NEW YORK — There’s a new David in town, possibly a worthy adversary of the other David, aka Commissioner Stern. This is a copy of the lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court by David Boies, the temporary de-facto leader of what used to be the National Basketball Players Association. In court lingo, it will be called Anthony v. NBA. (Yes, Carmelo is Tom Brady 2.0) In case you missed it, I was at union (trade association?) headquarters in Harlem last night
Boies outlines NBA players’ legal strategy
NEW YORK — That picture shows the man who has been hired to take down David Stern, or at least force a settlement from the NBA commissioner. And David Boies says he’s going to try to do it by using Stern’s own words against him. In a briefing to a small group of NBA writers Tuesday, Boise outlined the strategy he will try to employ in an anti-trust lawsuit filed by NBA players in U.S. District Court in Northern California today.
