    Just in case anyone is wondering about any "buzz," etc.

     

    Not saying I'm in on every trade talk the organization makes, but once a deal is set in place/close to done, I get a heads up to get things ready for the web site.

     

    Curse you!! Rumor smasher!!!!

    probably not. the hum of a constant noise is easier to tune out.

     

    Can you tune out a mosquito?

     

    Can you tune out a marching band?

    Stern called out Stan

     

    "It's corrosive," Stern said. "It's corrosive, and because of the pressure cooker that is the NBA playoffs, over the years I've let it go, but when you hear a Chicago coach say, 'Oh, they're doing it because' ... or, 'This game was lost because NBC wants an extra game,' and you hear a New York coach say, 'Well, what are you going to do? [Michael] Jordan gets all the calls.'

    "Or you hear a Stan Van Gundy do what he wants to say and then the players join in. We know, inside the community, what it's meant to do, so, 'OK, it's playoff time, everyone's crazy so back off,' but, if I had to do it again, I would stop it and the price wouldn't be a modest $35,000 fine. It would be whatever a day's pay is and then two days pay and then a week's pay.

     

    "And if someone wants to try me in the rest of these playoffs, you know, make my day because the game is too important and I don't think that the people who trash it are respecting it and we'll do what we have to do -- to players and coaches alike."

    Ive never hated David Stern more than I do now after reading that crap. It is blatantly obvious that the officiating in basketball is terrible, players see it, coaches see it, fans see it. Instead of seeing this as a potential problem and doing something to fix it he shuts them up with threats of more than $35,000?!
