At the end of the film Se7en, Detective Mills, played by Brad Pitt, gets into an argument with serial killer Jon Doe, played by Kevin Spacey. Doe claims what he is doing will be remembered forever. Mills dismisses him by saying, “You’re no messiah. You’re a Movie of the Week. You’re a T-shirt, at best.” That’s about where Linsanity is right now. It’s not Lin’s fault that his novelty has somewhat worn off. He is still playing pretty well, as evidenced by
Kris Humphries posted 20 points and 15 rebounds for the Nets, his 17th double-double of the season. Paul Pierce played his 1,000th game of his career Friday. He is behind only John Havlicek (1,270) and Robert Parish (1,106). The Pistons shot a solid 56% from the field, but had a paltry 20 turnovers in their one point win over the Hawks. Kobe Bryant surpasses 29,000 points in his career in the first half Friday. J.J. Barea missed the game with a sprained ankle; Ricky
NEW YORK — Hedo Turkoglu of the Orlando Magic has been suspended one game without pay for making contact with a game official, it was announced today by NBA vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson.

Are you a big fan of a scary combination of skill and athleticism at the forward position, and effort-induced intangibles? If so, you’ll enjoy watching UNLV’s Mike Moser, who is making some noise on scouting radars everywhere. You may have heard Moser’s name associated with his old school, UCLA, but he was never an issue for Coach Ben Howland despite deciding to jump ship to Sin City. In fact, by all accounts, it was quite the opposite: Moser needed fewer distractions,
Traditionally, Kobe Bryant has enjoyed playing against Minnesota: he has yet to lose to them in 17 tries in the span of five years, the longest active winning streak by one team against another. That streak could come to an end if the Lakers (23-16) continue to drop winnable games away from home. They look to avoid a fourth straight loss on the road visiting the surging Minnesota Timberwolves (21-19) in Friday night’s best game. The Lakers are a force to be
That right there is supposed to be a picture of me chillin’ in my home office this morning, feet up on my pinball machine — a Gottlieb Spirit of ’76 — a pair of size 10 Li Ning “Villains” perched on the edge of the perfect timewasting device. But unfortunately, we are experiencing server issues today that are causing problems with picture uploads. So, you get last week’s photo instead — and last week’s offer stands, too. You will win a pair of
NEW YORK – Back in May 2008, Mike D’Antoni bolted the Phoenix Suns for the skyscrapers of the Big Apple. Although he spent five seasons coaching in the desert, he’s never felt the heat like this. Not even in Miami. Sadly, the sun seems to be setting on Mike D’Antoni’s tenure in New York, and Nate McMillan might make some sense as a potential replacement. (Assuming, of course, that Phil Jackson is not interested – a topic addressed on this site
