Odds & Ends Three Pointers
Just some stuff that was covered elsewhere and I thought I'd share with you.
- Plug Pulled On Pyrotechnics - That's a shame. I really enjoy the fireworks display and I'm even fond of the hazy smoke that lingers for a while after. With that said, when Ben Wallace is crumpled on the floor in part due to the smoke (something to do with an inner ear infection), I don't mind looking into better solutions.
- Glen Davis Manicures - It takes a big man to admit that he loves manicures. Or rather, a Big Baby. Hey, whatever works. If he grabs rebounds and makes the occasional bucket, he can wear a boa and dance on stage for all I care. What's that? He does that too? Yep, he's a different kind of cat.
- Mock Draft time - Chad has us taking Tomic. Draft Express says Hardin. NBADraft.net says Pekovic. Yeah, I've never heard of any of them either. Normally I'm a draft nut, but not so this year. Wake me in a month and even then I'm tempted to just see who Danny picks and be happy with it.

Pekovic signed a 3 yr deal to go to some team in Greece for around 2mil per yr. So unless we want to wait for a few yrs on a draftee this is not going to happen. He is a good candidate for 2nd pick though. Not sure if he is going to be around at the end of the 2nd. I would trade BBD for a high 2nd to pick him though.

Pekovic is avery good player. he led the Euroleague in Rebounds and was also one of the top scorers in the league. He just signed with Pana from Greece but I think he has a buyout clause in his cotract. C’s should take him and let him cook for a year or two. He could become a good backup for the 4-5 spots.
This is the first I have heard about the eliminating of the pyrotechnics and I say “Yeah Baby”. As one who either sits in the balcony or on my couch, I can tell you that the smoke was a hindrance to watching the game. I am not going to miss it at all.

This is the fifth I have heard about the eliminating of the pyrotechnics and I say “thats stupid”.
From my balcony seats the smoke has never been a hindrance to watching the game. In fact it just adds a little something to the atmosphere. I loved it. I will miss the fireworks.

It’s not just the fireworks that Stern is correctly looking at, its all the garbage that the NBA teams are doing between playing. Following the incident in Phoenix, where fire extinguishers were needed to put out a fire right on the court, Stern also acted.
As one who believes that the game is more important than the antics I support the commissioner.
As one who’s next door neighbor died in the Station Nightclub, I am not a fan of pyrotechnics inside and will not miss them.
