Tweet of the Day goes to Marquis Daniels, who was one of many around the league to comment on a video that contained a male bus driver using excessive force of sorts against a troublesome female commuter. To be more specific, cell phone videos started surfacing on Thursday that detailed a Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority bus driver uppercutting a young woman and throwing her off of the bus after a heated argument. Here is that video: The driver in question

Tweet of the Night: Steve Novak

by

“@jkevallday: This Pic explains everything about today’s Knicks preseason opener @stevenovak20twitpic.com/b3a1dr” (Hahahahaha!) — Steve Novak (@stevenovak20) October 12, 2012 Tweet of the Night went to Steve Novak, who clearly enjoyed a fan-made photoshopped image of himself as “God of the Arena”. Novak has been working on different ways to get his shot off over the summer after struggling against the Miami Heat in the playoffs, and displayed his shooting stroke in the Knicks’ first preseason game against the Wizards by shooting a perfect

Hamilton: Age Aside, Knicks Need Kidd To Be His Best

by

Jason Kidd and Marcus Camby NEW YORK — If you ask New York Knicks head coach Mike Woodson why the team has gone old, he’ll tell you it’s because young NBA teams aren’t the ones winning the championships. And the Oklahoma City Thunder’s egg-laying ceremony over the course of the last season’s five-game flameout in the NBA Finals give credence to that argument. But when you build a team around over-the-hill veterans, you need two things. First, is a good

Wade logs 23 minutes in China; Novak 7-for-7 on 3s; Jrue gets 27 pts in 20 mins

by

A loyal reader from Singapore asked about Harrison Barnes yesterday. Almost simultaneously, Bruce Wrigley’s weekly column examined the battle between Barnes and Brandon Rush for minutes at SF. Then the rookie started last night and scored 20 points on 8-11 shooting. Is he suddenly a hot fantasy commodity? Not exactly. The Warriors were playing at home against Maccabi Haifa, which is hardly the best team in Israel, which is not the strongest foreign league. They do have a wealthy owner

SH Blog: LeBron James working on sky hook, Stan Van Gundy rips ESPN

by

How good can LeBron James become now that all the pressure in the world is off his back to win his first championship? How much better does he want to be? Can he really improve much more than what he has already shown in the first nine seasons of his illustrious career? Well, he is apparently working to master the sky hook shot made famous by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to add to his post game, which indicates that his game could

Fantasy: Camp Battles

by

In today’s column I am going to take a look at how some of the most interesting camp battles are turning out. It is very early but it’s worth looking at the impressions of people who are watching teams closely, in order to get a sense of who is gaining and who might be losing ground. If you have an early draft (and I’ve already had one and have another coming up on Friday) then it’s well worth passing on

B.Roy scores 13 in return; Curry starts for Spurs; Lillard holds own vs. Nash

by

An NBA game in Fargo? You’re darn tootin’! The Timberwolves played like a home team, even in North Dakota. J.J. Barea started at PG; Luke Ridnour has been battling back spasms and of course, the return date of Ricky Rubio (knee) is indefinite. The Russian Connection of Andrei Kirilenko and rookie Alexey Shved contributed very little but the big news was Brandon Roy playing 23:40 and scoring 13 points in his first game in 18 months. That wasn’t really the
