Some suggested rule changes for the NBA this upcoming season: * To keep the ball from going out of bounds, erect some sort of barrier to keep it in play at all times. * Speaking of the ball, it is too large. It should be replaced with a smaller disk of some sort, perhaps made of vulcanized rubber. * If players have a difficult time handling the new ball, they can be provided with a mallet of some sort with which to strike the ball towards the net. * Too much emphasis is placed on height. To equalize the playing field, move the net from it's current height of 10 feet and place it directly on the playing surface. * To prevent too much scoring with the new net location, each team should be allowed a defender who's sole job is to guard the net. * Players should be allowed to hit each other. And fight with each other. * The previous rule may raise safety concerns so, to increase player safety and prevent players overheating during play, the playing surface should be coated with frozen water, which will help keep body temperatures in a healthy range. * Players who cannot run on the new playing surface can wear metal strips on their feet which will help players accelerate, turn and stop easily. * Finally, if the current NBA players reject these new rules, I know of about 700 people who would welcome them and who, conveniently, aren't doing a whole lot right now.  |

Pshaw - most of those 700 people are following those 'new' rules in Europe right about now. Can we please bring back flopping? Think of the harm it will cause when all those Duke graduates get cut since their usefulness has been legislated out of existence. |

The DA with an interesting NBA article. Still can't believe the WWL dropped Aldridge for Stephen A. Really?!? I think it's pretty clear why ESPN chose to keep Screamin A. Smith on board. |

I only have one comment. The only problem is, I can't write it without being censored. |

Wesley Johnson averaging 2pts. a game on an awful Suns team. Can we get that into a recruiting spot for Cuse. Oh, and I think Devendorf is in the Ukraine, sweet!

I believe that Ukraine has no extradition treaty with the U.S., so maybe Devendorf's move to that nation is not without its rationale.

And the streak stays where it belongs. Seriously, though, this was an extremely impressive run by the Heat. It's hard to imagine anyone beating them in a best of 7 the way they've been going. |

Kill the lawyer. And if this guy filed the case in pro per, kill him. "It's Derrick Rose's fault that I got fat! Wah!" |
