Kobe likes the new rule. "Shameless flopping, that's a chump move," he says. Says Vlade "kind of pioneered it." #stoptheflop

Brian Mahoney
Tweet of the Day goes to Brian Mahoney, who quoted Kobe Bryant on his thoughts about the new flopping rules set by the NBA. Some players (Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, Anderson Varejao, Manu Ginobili, etc) aren’t going to be thrilled with the idea of being fined for something they’ve become so adept at doing, but players that almost never flop – players like Bryant – ought to be thrilled with the new rules. Bryant is not a fan of flopping

Chris Paul
Tweet of the Night goes to Chris Paul, who was apparently mesmerized by the abilities of Jamal Crawford from watching him up close in practice. We can only imagine what Crawford did, but judging by Paul’s tweet, I’m going to guess that Trey Thompkins may have gotten a little taste of this: Paul already has the respect of Crawford as a fellow ball-handling wizard himself. The combination of these two flashy guards and the presence of Blake Griffin ought to

Fantasy Spin: September 26, 2012 – Part I

by

Pacific Division Fantasy Preview (Part I) So far this week we’ve brought you Jeff’s view on the Northwest (which I think is the division to own players in this season) and Kent’s take on the Atlantic. Today it’s the Pacific Division. This is a pretty good division fantasy-wise: there are three teams that play at a pretty good pace–Sacramento especially, who led the NBA in field goal attempts last season–plus the two Los Angeles teams who are very interesting in fantasy terms

SH Blog: Kevin Love expects to make the playoffs, Channing Frye to miss the entire 2012-2013 season

by

The Minnesota Timberwolves made some serious roster adjustments over the summer, all for the better. The most notable move was the acquisition of a revitalized Brandon Roy, but they also got a huge upgrade at small forward by obtaining Andrei Kirilenko and signed the likes of Chase Budinger, Alexey Shved, Greg Stiemsma and Dante Cunningham. As Kevin Love would tell you though, the real best part may have been “cleaning out the bad blood in the locker room”, and he

SH Blog: Brandon Roy admits lift is not what it used to be, O.J. Mayo can be a star?

by

The Dallas Mavericks acquired loads of solid players over the summer and have put themselves in position to be successful despite losing key players in Jason Kidd and Jason Terry to free agency. But can O.J. Mayo be good enough to become a star in the NBA? Could Chris Kaman become the best offensive center of all time in Dallas? Both are conceivable, depending on who you ask. See the chatter going on in Dallas, along with the true status of
