- The Cavaliers that had flu are reportedly all better, and word that LeBron James did not have swine flu. James was at shootaround today and will play tonight.
- Skepticism about the bonds that would finance the Nets' new arena. Securing the financing is a condition of Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov's investment in the team and stadium.
- Kevin Durant talks a bit more about the whole plus/minus episode.
- Replacement referees have been calling more fouls than regular referees normally do. But last time there were replacement referees, that trend was muted once the regular season started.
- When the NBA almost came to Hartford, Connecticut.
- Heat fans are breathing again after mild diagnoses for Dwyane Wade and Jermaine O'Neal who both left a preseason game with injuries. Udonis Haslem, by the way, was already out with a bad back.
- Caron Butler is more stylish than you.
- Completing an Amare Stoudemire Mad Libs with a nine-year-old: "Dear Amare, You’re a NEON basketball BUTTON. Your size, TURTLE, and MASHED POTATOES are nearly unmatched in the league today." Who can argue with that?
- Lamar Odom gets kicked in the shin, refers to Ron Artest as "the wrestler." At the time of the incident, Artest was tangled with Kings' rookie Jon Brockman, who may have been the kicker. Odom has a contusion, which he is not worried about.
- Ross Siler of the Salt Lake Tribune: "Just in case you needed any reminders that Thursday’s game was the preseason, Deron Williams left the Jazz’s huddle during the final timeout with 2:21 left to slingshot T-shirts into the crowd with the stunt team."
