The epitome of homerism is when you cite the results of a matchup that didn't occur, lol. This could be a rocky week as some of these teams figure to be active as the trade deadline approaches.

And then, the NBA returned to Seattle...
This is a bona-fide opportunity for the Hansen-Ballmer group should this prove true and Sterling ultimately gets the Marge Schott removal from day-to-day operations. The Clippers ownership group may have to cede to the NBA.
Stern and the owners of the other teams do seem to bear some responsibility if this proves true, they've long known the nature of Sterling.

My take away from the article was that the team should be left in Oakland. A point that I can agree with. Moving does not cure all that ails.

Apparently Love personally apologized to Scola after the game. Still, a character issue for the USMNT to consider.

Kevin Love will be suspended. A foot to the face of an international player should give the US Men's National Basketball Team an easier time trimming their abundant roster.

Ochocinco is why I'm hoping for a Patriots win. He has fun playing and has fun in his daily life. He is one of the more interesting athletes on Twitter.

This buddy of mine writes this once a month, this month is very sports heavy. Sinacle. He weighs in on Jose Reyes and an interesting NFL observation . . .
How come when an NFL kick- returner fields the ball, let's say 6 yards deep in the end zone and returns it for a touchdown, it goes down as a 106 yard return.But if the same NFL kick-returner fields the ball 6 yards deep in the end zone and returns it to the 20 it goes down as a 20 yard return?
Please explain.

I was just thinking that he never won a championship when he wasn't wearing a pointy neck-lined jersey. You know the one I mean? Both Dallas and the Heat are wearing them, the Lakers have had them for years. They seem to be winners, why don't all teams have them?
Also, I totally agree with grum@work, he made the NBA fun. It was always so clear that he was having a good time.
I wonder what awaits him? Law enforcement? Color commentary?

"Well, it's almost as difficult as can be in the situation we have right now," Jackson said prior to Game 3. "If we make it any more difficult, we just have another thing to do. Kobe said to me this morning, 'It seems like this is the kind of way your last season should be, that something like this comes up and it has to be another hurdle that you have to cross.' But it's not me crossing it, it's the team."Phil Jackson seems to be distancing himself from this train wreck.

Knicks at Mavs last night had the visiting Knicks wearing their home whites.

Yeah, I've seen it but not in years. It is a 37 year old movie.
Very clever.
Thanks.
So nobody knows?
The first game the Knicks played with Carmelo in MSG against the Bucks also had the teams wearing alternate uniforms - both teams wore road jerseys.
Interesting trend.
posted by geekyguy at 09:58 AM on March 11, 2011
So tonight Los Lakers are playing in Miami against El Heat and the visiting team is wearing white while the home team wears their (away) black uniforms.
Does anyone know what is going on?
posted by geekyguy at 08:51 PM on March 10, 2011
An aside, and similar to another recent question I asked, why was the home team wearing their road uniforms? Who gets to pick?
posted by geekyguy at 10:57 PM on March 07, 2011
As I understand it, in the NBA the visiting coach can call the direction of play. Most coaches opt to play so their team is on defense in front of their bench in the second half.
This has nothing to do with uniforms.
So, why did it appear that both teams wore road uniforms in the Bucks vs. Knicks game tonight?

Michael Vick is a hero to PETA. I've heard pundits say that Michael Vick is the single greatest thing to ever happen to dog fighting. His conviction and fall from grace put dog fighting on the collective conscious of the country, specifically law enforcement.

With zero assists I think the question is pretty disingenuous.
