A strange phenomenon has occurred in the supersonic world of information that is currently embodied by Twitter. Everything is faster now – information, reaction, criticism and analysis. There used to be a 24-hour news cycle. Now it sometimes does not last 24 seconds. There seems to be, however, an unintended consequence. The faster the world; the quicker people forget. A few years ago, there was measured reaction to subjects of the day; now the norm is overreaction. And that’s fine. No complaints here.
Hamilton column: With Baron Davis, Knicks will win the Atlantic
NEW YORK — Earlier today, news began to trickle out from various media outlets that Baron Davis has agreed to join the Knicks. He will officially sign with the club on Monday and is expected to accept their one year “room exception” offer of $2.5 million. Marc Berman of the New York Post was the first to report Sunday that Davis agreed to join the Knicks and echoed my Friday sentiment—he will play sooner rather than later. According to Berman, the Knicks’
Hamilton column: Baron Davis willing (and more able than believed) to join Knicks
NEW YORK — It’s been a long seven days for the New York Knicks. After their bold and surprising move to land Tyson Chandler last Thursday, interim general manager Glen Grunwald has been hard at work trying to build a formidable team around New York City’s newest skyline. As it stands, the projected starting lineup will feature arguably the league’s best front court, but a somewhat inexperienced backcourt. Toney Douglas—the third year pro—is expected to begin the season as the starter,
Bernucca column: Is Dwight a white knight?
It’s time for Dwight Howard to make a decision. Does he want to stay in Orlando, or does he want out? Does he want to be Dirk Nowitzki or Paul Pierce, or does he want to be LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony? Does he want to be a white knight, or does he want to move over to the dark side? Over the weekend, Howard appeared irreversibly headed to the dark side, where NBA superstars hold their teams hostage with early termination options
The Bernucca List – Edition III
The correct answer to last week’s edition of The Bernucca List was provided in the comments section by Charles Romancin. The list was “active NBA players who played for the Seattle SuperSonics.” Yes, Antonio Daniels was active last season. After holding Nancy Lieberman’s hand with the D-League’s Texas Legends, he had a cup of coffee with the Sixers. This week’s edition is below. If you think you know the answer, tweet it to me or post a comment. The Bernucca List Elton Brand Antonio
Perkins, Hamilton, Silva join SheridanHoops
I have added three new writers to the site. Please welcome aboard: CHRIS PERKINS (Tuesday columns) — A sportswriter with 20 years of experience, Perkins was there the night Miami Heat teammates Jason Williams and Antoine Walker argued with each other on the court for so long they incurred a delay of game warning. Perkins was also in the Heat locker room the night angular forward Rasual Butler donned Shaquille O’Neal’s winter coat and paraded around like a 5-year-old wearing his father’s over-sized
Sheridan on Chris Paul trade: No winners, only losers
// One week after the infamous David Stern veto, the Chris Paul trade is finally getting done. It makes the Hornets infinitely worse in the short term than they would have been if they had done the original trade, but it gives them the hope that they’ll have two high lottery picks in next June’s stocked NBA draft to allow them to start rebuilding, Oklahoma City-style. That, however, will take years. If the original trade had gone down, the Hornets would be
Heisler Column: David Stern as Charlton Heston
OK, what was that all about? With the conductor striking up the band but no parade in sight, last week in the NBA was like “Planet of the Apes,” with the one of the lost astronauts escaping from the ruling species and gaining his freedom, only to find he’s on post-nuclear-holocaust Earth! Not that David Stern vetoing the trade sending Chris Paul to the Lakers was as dramatic as Charlton Heston ranting, “You maniacs. You blew it all up. Damn you all
