- With HoopSpeak Live going on, I haven’t been able to get the Peep done on Thursdays so this might be a four-day-a-week thing. With that in mind, I hope you didn’t miss this Monty Williams story yesterday. He’s amazing, right?
- Also amazing: this story on 7’5 Mamadou Ndiaye (not this Mamadou N’Diaye). (h/t Danny Chau.)
- Introducing Pollin’ Be Rollin’, a tumblr edited by Marc Juliar which chronicles the Wizards’ season in their own words. This is already hilarious.
- Everyone shut up with the Igoudala trade talk!
- Clarification on Russell Westbrook’s extension.
- It’s rare to hear from assistant coaches during the season and there might not be a more interesting one than Ettore Messina. He’s blogging about his time with the Lakers.
- Brian Scalabrine has numerous options when his NBA career is over.
- A nice piece inspired by Ethan’s “White guys do the most with least?” post. Check the two pictures at the top for a laugh.
- Stop driving to the basket, Austin Daye.
- Bethlehem Shoals at the Classical: “Rajon Rondo does everything wrong and yet frequently achieves the right outcome. That’s not complexity, it’s a paradox enacted. No one has a feel for Rondo, but that sense of discomfort is there for the taking.”
- Colin McGowan of Cavs: The Blog, sort of writing about Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson but mainly writing about fandom.
- At Bobcats blog Trade Street Post, a Q&A with one of this season’s most surprising players: Byron Mullens.
- From J.J. Redick’s blog: “Some people might think I’m crazy for saying this because we had a really good squad in 2009 that beat Boston and Cleveland and got to the NBA Finals, but here goes: There are times when I’m on the court or on the bench and we’re playing and I say to myself, `This team has a chance to be the best we’ve been in my six years with the Magic. I think we’ve got a lot of experience, we have the best big guy in the league (in Dwight Howard), the best and most dominant player (in Howard) and a lot of solid pieces around him. We have great coaching. We just have to keep buying in to what we do and we have a chance to be pretty darned good.”
