NBA西部决赛小牛1比0雷霆

肖恩·马里昂，是德维恩·韦德在芝加哥某个社区的邻居。马里昂是韦德买下那所房子的唯一原因。卡隆·巴特勒，韦德非常要好的朋友、女儿的教父。只要有时间，两个人总是聊个不停。

现在，这两个人就在迈阿密，韦德的地盘，作为达拉斯小牛的一员。坐在一起叙旧？别逗了。“我们之间的友谊，毫无疑问，我们是曾经的队友，我们是好朋友。只是显然，这不是叙旧的时候，完全不是。”正如韦德所说，这是总决赛的赛场，每个球员6个月来朝思暮想的舞台，温情、友谊，还是留到夏天吧。

那盘让诺维茨基

5年不敢触碰的录像带

当迈阿密热火最终碾过芝加哥人，成为这个赛季东部仅剩的那支球队，5年前的记忆和恩怨一次又一次被提及：达拉斯怎样在2比0领先后开始准备庆祝，裁判怎样对热火手下留情，还有5年间诺维茨基不敢再去触碰的2006年总决赛录像带，“我觉得看了之后我会很不舒服，但我不得不承认，那些记忆的碎片一直留在我的心里，在第五场的比赛中，我们一直领先，但最后迎接我们的却是失败。我真的很难过，我想这一切我永远都不会忘。”

只是，这一切都不是这个系列赛如此升温的原因。在两支球队中，经历过5年前那一切的球员只有德克·诺维茨基、杰森·特里、德维恩·韦德以及犹杜尼斯·哈斯勒姆四人而已。正如德国人的好朋友纳什所说，现在的达拉斯发生了很大的变化，热火同样如此，而且两支队伍都变得更好，随着季后赛的层层深入变得越来越好，“他们都变得更强，这是系列赛更好的原因。”《华盛顿邮报》写道。

相比5年前，热火不仅比当时的常规赛多赢了6场，他们杀入总决赛所需要的季后赛场次还比当时少了两场，更重要的是，他们这一路是淘汰了两支顶级强队（凯尔特人和公牛），而非一支（底特律活塞）。达拉斯也变得更好了。本赛季他们比当年少赢了3场比赛，但其中不可忽视诺维茨基缺阵的那波2胜7负。当年的那支小牛是纯进攻型，这可和现在的小牛完全不同。名人堂教练、现任ESPN电台分析员的杰克·拉姆塞说：“从常规赛过程来看，我认为他们不仅是一个好的团队，更是一支伟大的队伍，一支有韧性的球队。”5年前，“小将军”约翰逊不仅犯了战术上的错误，还将恐慌的情绪传染给了整支队伍。5年后，达拉斯人不仅有一个更加沉稳的卡莱尔，全队的心理素质建设也变得更加系统，球员们很少出现情绪波动。自从被开拓者的罗伊来了一次大逆转以后，小牛在11场季后赛中赢下了10场，再没丢掉过好局。

小牛因龙卷风被迫租包机

入住2006年下塌酒店

美航球馆，工作人员提前两天已经把印有“迈阿密2011NBA总决赛”字样的白色T恤摆到每一个座位上。在媒体中心的正上方以及美航球馆的西门外，早已张贴上印有“The Finals(总决赛)”字样和总冠军金杯的巨幅海报……是的，迈阿密已经准备好了。

相比之下，小牛的总决赛之旅没有一个愉快的开始。因为拥有全联盟出手最阔绰的老板，达拉斯人经常享受到很多联盟球队无法奢望的服务和设施，比如乘坐老板的私

人飞机。可是这一次，因为龙卷风席卷了达拉斯的机场，老板马克·库班的两架私人飞机遭到冰雹袭击，受到不同程度的损害，只能留在达拉斯当地维修。无奈之下，小牛只得向菲尼克斯太阳队租借球队包机。据悉，即便是临时租用的飞机，但这架包机依旧够奢华，它同样拥有优质的服务以及各种便利设施。唯一的担忧是，达拉斯人对新的包机无法适应。

5年前，小牛在迈阿密遭遇了连续3场惨败，那些惨痛的经历达拉斯球迷至今难忘，5年后从头再来，他们希望球队不再重蹈覆辙，他们建议球队换间酒店避免晦气，但是球队仍然选择了与5年前相同的酒店。“这不是我们该关心的事情，我不在乎住在哪个酒店，只要给我们提供住宿的地方，那就可以了，我们会安心地住下来。”故地重游入住相同的酒店，诺维茨基根本不在乎，这是小牛第二次杀入总决赛，也是德国人的第二次总决赛之旅，没有人知道再过几个星期就年满33岁的德国人第三次会在什么时候，他能把握的只有现在。“季后赛期间，诺维茨基每天晚上都会加练投篮，所以他才能保持自己的状态，他真的进入了赢球的状态。”小牛主教练卡莱尔说道。

尽管球队选择了与5年前相同的酒店，球队还是做出了些许调整。2006年，球队允许球员的家人和朋友一同住在酒店，而今年球队临时决定，球员的家属和朋友都被安排入住到距离球员下榻酒店不远的另一所酒店。

詹姆斯：想要伟大

简历上必须有一个戒指

这个系列赛最受关注的四个人中，韦德已经拥有了总冠军戒指，波什第一次来到这个舞台，只有勒布朗·詹姆斯和诺维茨基拥有同样的经历，4年前，他也曾经走到总决赛，但是一败涂地。在老辣的马刺面前，詹姆斯和他的骑士毫无还手之力，遭遇横扫。

“能够重新回到总决赛，我很荣幸，和热火一起杀入总决赛，这是一种荣耀。很多次，我曾想象重回总决赛的场景，如今，梦想照进了现实。我再次站在了总决赛的舞台上，看着地板上的总决赛Logo、总冠军奖杯Logo，一切的一切，我实在太激动。”詹姆斯花了4年时间重新回到这里，他心存感激，毕竟曾经经历过总决赛的球员很多，但是失败之后能够重新站在这个舞台上的人并不多，“这是上天的眷顾，这就给了我完成2007年输给马刺的救赎的机会。2007年总决赛的失利一直激励我前进，那段经历促使我变得更强。现在回过头去看当年的比赛，我会告诉自己说"与那时相比，现在的我更强了"。”这是詹姆斯多次憧憬的时刻，现在它终于来到了，“要想成为史上伟大球员之一，简历上必须有一个戒指，我们目前已经证明很多人看错了我们，但我们接下来还有很多工作要做。”

在美国媒体看来，也许无论詹姆斯取得什么成就，都难以超越乔丹的历史地位，不过如果詹姆斯能够夺冠，或许就可以开创一个属于自己的年代，“不管过去在骑士詹姆斯究竟做出了多少贡献，或是失败了多少次，也不管他究竟是用什么样的方式转会到了热火，现在的事实就是，在詹姆斯加盟之后，热火立刻闯入了久违的总决赛。在对阵公牛的比赛中，他在防守端搞定了今年的MVP。现在，如何搞定一个和自己高度相似的对手，将是詹姆斯最后的挑战。对韦德来说，搞定小牛，好比温习过去的功课，而对詹姆斯来说，意义完全不同。在骑士，他打出了自己的名望，而开创自己的时代，今年的总决赛是最好的机会。”

美国四大权威媒体

一致看好热火夺冠

这个联盟，小牛并不是拥有很多人心的球队，但是这个系列赛，相当数量的美国球迷更加青睐达拉斯人，原因很简单，站在他们对面的是迈阿密热火，全联盟最被仇视的球队，“这就像，如果乔丹和巴克利联手拿了总冠军，他也就不会那么伟大了。”一位美国球迷说。

仇视、敌对，这都不能掩饰热火优势。在美国四大媒体雅虎体育、ESPN、NBA官网和篮圈世界的预测中，有三家认为热火会最终胜出，ESPN与NBA官网甚至看好热火6场内获胜，而雅虎则认为双方会鏖战7场。只有篮圈世界认为小牛会在6场内夺冠。在ESPN的预测中，共有19名专栏作家参与，这其中只有5人支持小牛，其余14人一致支持热火。而在这14人当中，又有很大一部分人认为热火将会在6场内解决战斗。除此之外，杰夫·范甘迪、史蒂夫·科尔这些前NBA主教练和名宿都看好热火，范甘迪说，“对热火来说，我不觉得小牛是比凯尔特人、公牛更大的挑战，打凯尔特人和公牛，热火取得的战绩是8胜2负，让人印象深刻，当然，他们要面对诺维茨基这样的球员，但这种球员热火阵中也有，勒布朗是NBA里最出色的球员，热火有能力凭借他们任意一个球星的发挥去扭转糟糕的比赛，诺维茨基没有这些。而更明显的事情是，热火是小牛遇到的最出色的防守球队。”

在任何一支球队率先拿下4场胜利之前，迈阿密人和达拉斯人都不能说自己肯定是最后的胜者。肯定的赢家只有一个：美国航空公司，迈阿密热火主场美航球馆和达拉斯小牛主场美航中心的冠名商，这也是美国职业体育史上第一次出现同一赞助商冠名的两座球馆争夺总决赛的盛况。

美国航空公司赢得NBA总锦标赛

 但随着 迈阿密 热火周四结束了对东部冠军，这将是在达拉斯的美国航空中心球馆，热火在迈阿密的美国航空公司将在打击小牛。

他们称之为在迈阿密的AAA就像我们把它叫做在达拉斯的AAC吗？

如果公牛队采取了系列，在美国大陆航空控股公司美国总部的高管本来只有三英里远从美国中心。 他们可以走了。 美国的高管有15英里远的AAC和1300多英里远的AAA级。

NBA总冠军系列涉及航空公司命名的建筑物与航空公司命名并没有发生，因为永远。 等等，这是2006年，上一次 迈阿密热火队 扮演的NBA总冠军的达拉斯小牛队的，不是吗？

22日NBA：皇帝自曝养生秘诀 公牛悍将甘当替补

5月22日，NBA季后赛正在进行，以下是和各队相关的重要消息：
皇帝自曝养生秘诀
本赛季常规赛，詹姆斯一共打了79场比赛，总共上场3063分钟，是所有球员里面最多的。季后赛到目前为止，他的场均上场时间为43.4分钟，也是最多的。即便身体负担如此之重，他依然保持了高水平的发挥，这和他在休赛期的健身努力有很大的关系。谈到休赛期的训练秘诀，詹姆斯说：“我在家乡阿克隆有个秘密训练基地。我只是靠其他训练来保持体形。我练普拉提，练瑜伽，练游泳。我不能告诉你具体的位置，那是一个秘密地点。我们在那里有个秘密社团。我们不会告诉太多人。”
公牛悍将甘当替补
公牛悍将塔基-吉布森在东部决赛中表现抢眼，用一记暴力颜扣羞辱了德维恩-韦德。他的表现不逊于首发球员，但是却甘当替补，对此，吉布森说：“作为一个职业运动员，你得清楚一点，你必须认清并且学会你的工作。这是第一步。他们教了我如何做到这一点。不管他们需要我做什么，我都能做到。他们想要我打替补，提供板凳活力，我做到了。他们要我首发，我也能完成任务。关键在于如何成为一名称职的职业球员，明白自己该做什么来争取获得更多的上场时间，在这个联盟里打得更久。”
史密斯回应浪投指责
今年的季后赛中，老鹰前锋乔什-史密斯因为一些鲁莽的出手而被舆论指责为浪投罪人。对此，史密斯回应道：“我知道我投了一些不该投的球。但是我不是这支球队里唯一一个犯了这种错误的人。只不过我被人谈到的次数比其他人多而已。”
帕金斯力挺威少
雷霆后卫拉塞尔-威斯布鲁克在对小牛的系列赛中遭受了很多的批评，为此，他的队友们都很替他愤愤不平。中锋肯德里克-帕金斯说：“那些每天针对他的批评声我听都听烦了。上一场我们赢了。埃里克（梅诺）是他的替补，但是媒体依然抓着教练第四节让他坐板凳的事情不放。这些批评什么时候才能停止？我为他感到不平，但是有一点很肯定，那就是我们一定会非常支持他。现在我们应该雪中送炭，而不是落井下石。”
公牛射手抱怨赛程
东部决赛第2战打完之后，公牛和热火获得了3天的休息时间。第2战中7投1中的公牛射手凯尔-科沃尔认为休息时间有点太长了。他说：“我不喜欢这么久的间隔。尤其是在输球之后。你想要尽快回到场上与对手再决胜负。背靠背比赛虽然很讨厌，但是如果你输了第一场，你就不必在三天假期里谈论投丢的那些球了，你可以很快回到场上，去找回手感，投中一些球。然后问题就是另一回事了。但是规矩不是由我们定的。”他的队友罗尼-布鲁尔也不喜欢休息这么久。
准状元体脂肪超标
今年选秀大会的准状元凯瑞-欧文昨天参加了选秀训练营的体测，结果显示他的体脂肪含量达到了10.2%，严重超标。他的体脂肪含量之所以这么高，和他在杜克大学的新秀赛季遭遇的大脚趾伤势有很大关系，这次受伤导致他休息了3个月之久。这一结果令他感到很丢脸，他表示有信心在进入NBA之后将体脂肪含量降下来。他说：“这个结果揭示了我还需要安排多大的训练量才能使身体恢复到最佳状态。我意识到这不是我想要的比例，但是由于缺战了那么久，我对此无能为力。这是受伤带来的必然结果。这证明了我还得加强体能训练。”
活塞后卫换经纪人
活塞后卫罗德尼-斯塔基又换了经纪人。如果NBA下赛季不停摆的话，斯塔基将在六个星期之内变成受限制性自由球员。他炒掉了之前的经纪人史蒂夫-班克斯，转投大名鼎鼎的利昂-罗斯门下。罗斯的客户包括勒布朗-詹姆斯，卡梅隆-安东尼，克里斯-保罗和理查德-汉密尔顿。从2007年算起，罗斯已经是斯塔基的第5个经纪人。从斯塔基被活塞选中之时起，班克斯就一直帮他做事，之前斯塔基的代理方是古德温体育经纪公司。

NBA雷鸣扳平比分

湖北日报讯 据新华社华盛顿19日电 首回合较量输在替补的雷鸣队19日在NBA西部联盟冠军决战第二回合对决中，靠当家球星杜兰特和替补队员的出色发挥，客场以106比100驯服小牛队，从而把双方七战四胜系列赛的总比分扳成1比1。

在双方第一场交手中，以特里为首的小牛替补联手贡献53分，比雷鸣队替补多得31分。然而仅隔两天，知耻而后勇的雷鸣替补以50比29反赢对手21分。

雷鸣主帅布鲁克斯在最后一节不拘一格降人才，让4位状态颇佳的替补队员与杜兰特联手对阵小牛。雷鸣此大胆举措令主队一时难以适应，最终以6分胜出。“我们第四节开了个好头，”收获本队最高分24分的杜兰特说，“主教练为此做出了英明决定。”

双方第三回合较量将于21日在雷鸣队主场进行。

詹姆斯若夺冠 其赞助商于中国将多增收40亿美元

 据美国专业网站RealGM消息，如果今年NBA总冠军的归属最终落到迈阿密人手中的话，那么勒布朗-詹姆斯的球鞋赞助商在中国的效益将受益匪浅，确切的说，这个在全世界出名的球鞋赞助商将因为詹姆斯的夺冠仅在中国就能增加40亿美元的收入。
每当说到NBA球星的吸金能力，我们自然也会想到美国著名商业杂志《福布斯》网站公布一年一度的名人榜，而就在美国当地时间的5月18日公布的数据显示NBA球星占据了100个名额的4个席位，勒布朗-詹姆斯首次超越了科比（14位）排名第10，成为NBA球员影响力第一人，但《福布斯》网站是根据名人的收入、媒体曝光率以及社会影响力来综合评定的，所以在仅仅比较年收入这一项的情况下科比还是以5300万超过了詹姆斯的4800万。虽然NBA球星的吸金能力很强，但是这样的收获也是和球员们的努力及荣誉成正比的。例如迈克尔-乔丹，6次总冠军让篮球之神的名誉响彻全球；5次总冠军的科比也同样万人敬仰，当然还有勒布朗詹姆斯，这位热火队26岁年轻的前锋，拥有2次常规赛MVP及一次奥运会冠军，美中不足的当然是那最沉甸甸的奥布莱恩杯了。

对此，某著名体育用品前中国市场的官员Terry Rhoads说道：“勒布朗让多少中国的年轻人对篮球更加狂热，但他的影响力及人气在全世界还是有些限制，原因就在于他缺少一座总冠军奖杯。”此外，因为中国是勒布朗-詹姆斯的球鞋赞助商消费者最多的国家，因此一年的时间里，仅仅在今年一月份赞助商就布置了价值19.6亿美元的商品，可见赞助商对詹姆斯的信心和在中国的效益。看来本赛季对于皇帝来说，这座奖杯真可谓是“吸金”奖杯啊！

阿尔斯通变身阿指导

早报讯 据休斯敦《FOX 26》电台消息，上赛季短暂效力过浙江广厦明凯照明男篮，但最终不欢而散提前返回美国的“街球王”拉夫·阿尔斯通，昨天来到了得克萨斯州汉布尔市，但他这次并不是来观光的，而是正式成为当地一所名叫“基督教生活中心学院”中学男篮队的主教练兼体育部主管，这个中学曾培养出了现快船队的年轻中锋德安德鲁·乔丹，而“街球王”也将从此走上教练员的岗位。

“我非常兴奋，这将有很多的乐趣。”阿尔斯通说，“这是一个与众多孩子们一起工作的机会，他们都看过我打球，他们可以从我的经历中受益，在各个级别的篮球比赛当中都是如此。”

“我们已经正式任命阿尔斯通先生担任我们校篮球队的主教练，并兼体育部的主管。”该校校长帕斯特·罗德里格斯说，“我们将在5月27日的毕业典礼上将阿尔斯通先生正式介绍给我们的学生。”

据了解，这所中学在当地非常有名，学校的师资力量很强，但他们在篮球和体育运动方面并不是强项，没有培养出太知名的运动员，最著名的一位就是现在效力于洛杉矶快船队的中锋德安德鲁·乔丹，后者在高中时期就读于这所学校，这也是因为乔丹是土生土长的得克萨斯州人。+
“我们之所以聘请阿尔斯通，主要是考虑到他丰富的篮球比赛经验和他的天赋，由于他曾经去过我们学生想要去的地方（NBA），他会给孩子们起到引路人的作用，所以我们才雇用他担任校队的主教练。”校长罗德里格斯解释聘请阿尔斯通的原因时说。

阿尔斯通自己则认为并不缺乏执教经验，他告诉校长说，每年夏天自己都会执教街头篮球队AAU队。尽管他知道中学篮球与街头篮球是完全不一样的两种球队，但他有信心接受挑战。“这所学校是全美最好的中学之一，在这里任教将是一个很大的挑战，我期待这样的挑战。”阿尔斯通表示。

NBA劳资谈判有重大进展 硬性工资帽推迟两年实施

5月12日电 僵持多日的NBA劳资协议终于有了突破性的进展，据ESPN马克-斯特恩得到的消息，前不久被劳方拒绝的资方协议日前已经做了重大修改，主要修改内容就是关于硬性工资帽的规定。此前资方坚持要求的硬性工资帽，让步到2013-2014赛季再做考虑。

之前资方是一直强硬态度，要求从下赛季就立即开始推行硬性工资帽，这也是劳方所极力反对的。而根据联盟内的消息人士向ESPN透露说，如今资方在协商过后，终于决定做出让步，晚两年再商议硬性工资帽。在联盟老板们看来，这一次是做出了巨大妥协和让步。不过，在降薪方面，老板们还是坚持过去的提议。他们希望劳方能在现有合同基础上逐步降低薪水，幅度为15%，甚至是25%。

除此之外，劳资双方还达成一致，不得单方面给某些球员贴上保护标签。在NFL，球队可以给球员贴上球队标签，以阻止他成为自由球员。而在资方最近提出的协议中，除非球员同意，否则NBA球队是没有NFL俱乐部这种权限的，这可能是劳资双方充分吸取了NFL的经验和教训后达成的一致。

根据日程安排，上周，大卫-斯特恩已经和比利-亨特在芝加哥有过会谈，本周二，双方再一次进行过沟通。而在下周，这两人还将继续在纽约进行谈判。虽然目前双方仍未取得一致，不过受到NFL劳资纠纷的影响，双方态度都已经有所软化。硬性工资帽的延后，就是资方做出的让步。此前，亨特就曾经用“掐断生命线”来形容过硬性工资帽对球员的伤害。而如今，资方已经做出让步，这为双方营造了一个良好的局面。

而在资方做出让步的背后，是本赛季电视收视率的上升以及下赛季球票销售情况的好转。此前，资方就表示过球迷对联盟的力挺帮助了球队对抗经济萧条。不过，与此同时，资方也声称好转程度非常有限，联盟的亏损情况不过是从上赛季的3.4亿美金小幅滑落到本赛季的3.0亿美金，而亏损球队仍然是有22支之多。

不过，无论如何，如今资方终究是拿出了姿态，在关键问题上做出了让步。在这种情形下，劳资双方想要取得最终的握手言和应该问题不会太大了。而NBA，也非常有可能避免1998-1999赛季的停摆悲剧。

休城专家力挺小牛助教当选 劝球迷不要只看名气

 关于火箭队3选1即将敲定新任主教练一事，在当地媒体和球迷间引起了广泛的关注，有人支持易建联的恩师弗兰克，有人认为4-0淘汰湖人的小牛助教卡西更合适，也有人认为前NBA巨星麦克海尔的腕更大，更能吸引眼球和增加收视率。对此，休斯敦专业篮球媒体《梦幻舞步》专家麦克-科恩斯今日撰文，力挺小牛助教卡西成为最后的胜利者，并建议球迷们不要只看名气，真正适合火箭的才是最好的。原文如下
种种迹象显示，火箭队新任主教练即将水落石出，莫雷将把德维恩-卡西、劳伦斯-弗兰克和凯文-麦克海尔的三人名单上报给老板亚历山大，由后者最终拍板决定。而按照目前的情况来看，卡西成了最大的热门，弗兰克次之，而麦克海尔由于最近几年没有担任NBA球队主教练，更多的是在电视台担任评论员，所以不太被广泛看好。

我知道，很多火箭球迷并不愿意听到卡西的名字成为最后的胜利者，他们也不会很快就淡忘了里克-阿德尔曼以及杰夫-范甘迪给这支球队留下的印记，不过球迷们应该了解的是，卡西确实是非常适合目前的这支火箭队的人选。

凯西在2005年曾担任过森林狼主教练，当时他在队中的地位比较卑微，手中并没有实权，大权实际上是掌握在总经理麦克海尔手中，随后他离开明尼苏达，在达拉斯成为卡莱尔的助手，专门负责球队防守训练，并得到了广泛的认可。去年夏天，公牛、老鹰和快船等队纷纷选帅，当时已经被评为联盟最顶尖助理教练之一的卡西差点就成为一支NBA球队的主教练，但他还是选择留在了小牛。

卡西属于年轻教练中佼佼者，尽管他已经54岁，已经算不上年轻，但按照执教资历来说他还只是一个年轻人。本赛季在卡西的帮助下，小牛在防守端取得了长足的进步，加上他们本身就擅长的进攻得分，让他们得以以4-0的惊人比分横扫卫冕冠军湖人，率先杀入西部决赛。无论是作为球员时期还是教练时期，卡西都受到了身边人的尊敬和广泛认可，尽管他作为主教练执教NBA球队的战绩仅为53胜69负，但那不是他真正实力的体现，如今小牛给了他一个更好的展现平台。
更重要的是，卡西十分渴望拥有一次独立执教NBA球队的机会，以证明自己的能力并不比任何人差。与此同时，小牛高层也非常理解并支持卡西的想法，包括主教练卡莱尔在内的多人都支持他去休城开辟属于自己的一片新天地。而火箭高层目前也对卡西十分重视，一周前，他们已经在达拉斯与卡西进行了会谈。

尽管火箭队一度最看好斯坦-范甘迪，但魔术被淘汰出季后赛后似乎并没有要解雇他的意思，他们现在更关心的是魔兽霍华德的去向，还没有工夫考虑是否换帅的问题。而火箭队也没有耐心去等待大范，因为选秀大会以及夏季引援工作已迫在眉睫，此前他们已经耽误了太多的时间去面试主教练。所以我的意见是：卡西就是你的最佳选项，赶紧签下他吧！

数据一览：雷霆双星猛 公牛神迹近40年第3次

5月16日，今日NBA(微博)有两场比赛，其中雷霆在生死战中击败灰熊，成功晋级西部决赛，而公牛则是在东部决赛首战中大胜热火，取得开门红，比赛异常精彩，与此同时也产生了一些有趣的数据，下面不妨来看看今日的疯狂数据——
雷霆双子星打出给力表现
雷霆在第七战中击败灰熊晋级到西部决赛，俄城双子星在这场比赛里尽显威力，其中杜兰特疯狂揽下39分，而威斯布鲁克则是拿到14分14次助攻和10个篮板的三双，在NBA季后赛历史上，此前一共有5组搭档演绎过这样的情况（一人至少得到39分，另外一人拿到三双），分别是1960年的张伯伦和汤姆-戈拉（费城勇士，2度完成这一成就）、1964年的杰里-韦斯特和埃尔金-贝勒（湖人）、1967年的张伯伦和哈尔-格里尔（费城76人）、1980年的贾巴尔和魔术师（湖人）以及1992年和1993年的乔丹、皮蓬（公牛，2度完成这一成就）。
小威比肩名人堂前辈
杜兰特的39分固然疯狂，但是从历史成就来看，威斯布鲁克的三双更具难度，在NBA历史上此前只有4人在第七战中打出过三双成绩单，全部都是名人堂球员，分别是杰里-韦斯特（1969年）、拉里-伯德（1984年）、詹姆斯-沃西（1988年）以及斯科蒂-皮蓬（1992年）。
公牛创近40年第三次神迹
在公牛对阵热火的东部决赛首场中，两队在半场比赛结束时打成了48平，但是芝加哥凭借下半场的给力表现最终以103-82获胜，在过去40年的NBA历史上，当一支球队在分区决赛或是总决赛中半场未取得领先却最终大胜对手至少20分的情况此前一共只有2次，在1982年的总决赛第5场中，76人曾和湖人在半场结束时战平，但是他们最终却以135-102大胜紫金军团。而在2007年西部决赛第3场里，这样的神奇再度上演，当时爵士在半场还落后马刺4分，但是他们最终却以109-83大胜圣安东尼奥。

Crosby Watch

 State injury Sidney Crosby has not changed, but every time the best player in the NHL skates, hockey in the world takes note.

Pittsburgh with a concussion from 05 January, again on Tuesday ran strong coach Mike Kadar took teams then in the morning skate optional. It was the third consecutive day Crosby on the ice.

The team confirmed today that said in recent days: there is no timetable for Crosby's return.

Sidney sets his rehabilitation prescribed by your doctor and theres no timetable yet for the next step in this development,  said coach Dan Bylsma Penguins NHL.com.

However, Crosby is very good Tuesday.



Vancouver Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said after the morning skate that backup goalie Cory Schneider in two appearances in the last three games without a doubt a beginning and a cameo shaped so that the rookie can have your name on the Jennings Trophy hed if The NHL team ends the regular season with the fewest goals.

Canucks starter Roberto Luongo, on behalf of Schneider, who had two brief appearances with 23, what the NHL should be included in the panel Jennings Trophy will be lobbying.

Luongo made against the Oilers on Tuesday night for the Canucks with seven goals against the Boston Bruins second defense team.

Its fabulous. It means a lot to think enough of me that this set to get 25, Schneider said before the game. It means a lot to Lou and the coaching staff that I deserve, and I want them there.


The Canucks have never won the Jennings Trophy.



Vancouver defender Alex Edler, the 25th left the lineup to undergo back surgery in January there was also a widespread practice of two men Tuesday after the Canucks skate and admitted that not much to do, but try to play.

Edler final happy at home Thursday against the Minnesota Wild apparel, but his return to the lineup was complicated by issues of salary cap.

Obviously it is best to get one or two games before the playoffs,  said Edler. Hope. Teresa few games left, so if I can play these games, great. Otherwise, I've just found a way to prepare for playoffs.


Edler fact, as it has for two weeks with injured defender Andrew Albert, who is returning from wrist surgery in the vicinity.


Vancouver Canucks end Mikael Samuelsson returned to the lineup Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers after missing six games with a leg problem, the likelihood of upper abdomen.

Samuelsson was the happiest person in addition to the second line of Ryan Kesler, who had a happy-go-round line mates who made the unit compatible.

Kesler Samuelsson association is interesting because the center of North America is very dynamic and the best Swedish striker for a record of possession, play half-court.

Opposites attract, right? Kesler smiled. Chemistry is a strange thing. Hard work in and out of ice. He taught me a lot about the game



At the end of a terrible season for the Edmonton Oilers, the rookie Linus Omark give people a reason to watch.

Vancouver fans were buzzing Saturday when the extreme confidence that has made a spinarama shootout with a goal early in the season, turned the puck over the crossbar behind the Canucks net.

Edmonton coach Tom Renney saw anything like it hadnt played since Pavel Bure for the Canucks.


Omark also reduced with the disk, while Saturday in a unique position to score because he wanted to run a spinarama. No wonder that many people think of hockey for 24 years, is an exhibitionist.




If I was to play a good time, but it could be a better time for Brett Carson.

The 25-year-old supporter of the Calgary Flames is a restricted free agent first July so everything can make native of Regina in recent years, several games of the season may not bode well for their future and possibly an increase in their salary U.S. $ 500 000 EUR.

I just got here a month, only in four games now. . . really only play two. . . I was trying to show what I can do in the past four years and I hope to come back next year, the six foot four, 220 pounds, said with a smile after practice on Tuesday.

Carson, with only 76 games of NHL experience was five games during the 2008-09 campaign with Carolina and 17 more this season with Mark Giordano for most. Some are similar players because they are both good skaters.

Hes worked hard to get into the lineup, got his chance in the last two games and I think he played very well,  said Giordano.


Not so long as the Calgary Flames Oilers sang very well when they stormed in front 4-1 in a game in Edmonton, essentially say the red shirts could start polishing their golf clubs because their season well, as we do.

Well, the fire broke again in the third period and won in overtime 5-4.

Memories of the game in the past serve as extra motivation when the two teams meet again on Wednesday night in Calgary?

Yes, there were people, we wish you a great summer and everything,  said captain Jarome Iginla, but certainly do not take personally. If the roles are reversed, the conjugal love for us and touch us, if we do not (serial). In fact, think I have we done.


Langkow mismo ol?

Calgary Flames head coach Brent Sutter said he knew that all was well with Daymond Langkow after the veteran center has recovered after a hard fought Barret Jackman after the last game in St. Louis.

Langkow's first round game after sitting for over a year with broken vertebrae.


Is this different than the old Langkow Langkow?



Tuesday night was Corey Crawford, rookie goalie of the Chicago Blackhawks special. Not only their 24th Especially in the heat of a playoff race, he was in his hometown against the team that promoted growth.

Crawford told the Chicago Tribune that he expects about 20 family members and friends at the Bell Centre in the Black Hawks played the Montreal Canadiens.

A very special, Crawford, in suburban Ch芒teauguay, Que. Growing up, told the newspaper. My family and friends come to the party. I was a fan of young Canadians (and) I grew up around here. Some of his strange feelings, but something very special. Its quite nerve-racking, but exciting.



Apparently, the Philadelphia Flyers decide to Michael Leighton, an experience of veteran goalkeeper come playoff time offer.

The Flyers placed Leighton on the cancellation of Tuesday and re-entry CSNPhilly.com, citing an unnamed source said that Leighton may be in the lineup Friday against the Buffalo Sabres are.

Rookie Sergio Bobrovsky, the starter should be in the playoffs, and Brian Boucher led the charge for the Flyers since Leighton had surgery to repair a herniated disc in back in October last year.

Leighton needs through waivers before he go the Flyers, but its unlikely that a team of U.S. $ 1,550,000 salary and back problems request.



Boston Bruins tough guy Shawn Thornton has three games after suffering a cut on his forehead, missed the required 40 stitches. He was back in the lineup on Wednesday against the New York Islanders.

Until he was injured, Thornton hadnt lost a game this season.

I will not like me away, but the season is long routine,  said Thornton Boston.com. I was really hoping to 82 to play. But the rest isnta wrong. I can take some time to go and work on some things with the coaches. Again, I hope for (Wednesday).

John Wandbehang

 The NBA has suspended John Wall for a game in response to developments that took Zydrunas Ilgauskas during Wednesday's game. Ilgauskas and Juwan Howard were punished for their contributions to the incident.
No one has done too much for that, and the Wall no cause to regret after the debate. This is not to happen Colin Cowboy stop on this occasion on a wall of John on his radio show.
For the second time this year, was ejected from a game. It was a shock last night, but the fans say that John Wall was provoked. It was not.
Zydrunas Ilgauskas Miami, no one in the NBA has the right to personal freedom. You have the right to bring a ball and extend your elbows. That's all it took. Cowboy was attentive, he realized that Ilgauskas has been estimated at two blatant, and immediately deported to seek  personal space.  The real shame is that the suspension means of the wall that viewers have the opportunity to see one of the stolen home games last season.
And I thank you in court reporter transcribe Cohwerd Steinberg.

NBA Analysis: The men of growth Show vs. Heat

 At least we know that the Wizards still care about the game. In front of a sold-out audience, with only five home games of the season left the team finally gave fans a reason to return next year.

In the first half broke the second half of the brawl between Miami and Washington. Three minutes into the third quarter plans McGee consecutive Javal blocked Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. Jordan Crawford started his career high in points, McGee had five blocks and points 12 and D-League call Othyus Jeffers scored 15 points.

His playing style was always different than his opponent, Miami. The heat required to enforce the game and he has three major dominant in its 123-107 victory in Washington, close to a high position in the playoffs.

The Wizards are evidence for the long-term needs that the reconstruction is still working and looking, despite the loss. Two draft picks, 2010, John Wall and Jordan Crawford solid numbers in the game

Despite playing only 15 minutes before receiving a designation of a dispute with Zydrunas Ilgauskas Miami, the wall was collected five assists. Despite the incident comes just three minutes into the second quarter, the team arrived and continued the fight.

However, the loss was Wall itself.


If wizards are already on him the team's lead in the future should be happy, he takes a greater responsibility.

Crawford had his first chance to run the offense and was well into the new position. He provided four assists, for a total of 39 points, a career.


Maurice Evans, a veteran forward, who came to the organization to fill a leadership vacuum, scored 21 points in the night.

However, despite the production, which still has the impact of the rookies.

The team has no hope in this season, record-wise. But the team is growing and gaining a little pride in the team as a whole. The head of the heat by 10 points or less was performed for most of the game until the lead at the end of the game.

Young players are more mature and a presence in front of the NBA team cohesion wins this year.

At that time, tried to create team chemistry,  said Crawford, to get as many wins as we have the rest of the season and I hope that improvements in the off season.

Utah Jazz draft board Top 12: NBA Draft 2011

 In the past 23 years, Utah has been the model of consistency in all professional sports. Today they seem a franchise is in turmoil.

Coach Jerry Sloan and Phil Johnson-time assistant resigned in the middle of the season. Ido are still part of the  new  Jazz a few years ago were playing in the conference finals and seemed to run for a championship with one of the youngest in the schedules of the league determined.

For a franchise has reached the playoffs 19 of the last 22 years (missed the playoffs three years in Stockton and Malone era) and were 0.500 21 22 last, things seem to panic and despair Utah.

However, you can keep on writing praise of Utah. Utah has been Commercial 12:05 with star-PG Deron Williams, the networks are far from being a health team in this circuit. In those 17 games has 6 games Utah Paul Millsap had, Andrei Kirilenko of 4 matches, Devin Harris and Derrick Favors 4 games to 2 games.

No doubt Utah problems on a stretch of futility of the franchise has seen since the 80's had, but to say that this franchise is well positioned for the future would be short-sided and irresponsible.

have first, Utah, including their albatrosses (six years Andrei Kirilenko $ 86,000,000) and seems to get rid of a list of very nice cover. In addition, Utah is one, if not the best striker in the office of the NBA.

It is not easy to empathize a team with much less income and other power equipment market, but reaching the playoffs 19 of 22 seasons. The family of Larry H. Miller, team president Randy Rigby and General Manager Kevin O'Connor, simply better at their job than most in the league.

Utah has adopted a core of players in the highly competitive long-term contracts. Al Jefferson ($ 14M for 2 years), Paul Millsap (6.7 million dollars for 3 years), Devin Harris ($ 8,900,000 for 2 years), Derrick Favors (4.8 million dollars for 3 years) and Gordon Hayward (2.6 million for 3 years) all players who are underpaid for their productions and talent.

The team must make a decision in the game from top to bottom making of CJ Miles, an all-star or a bad player Euro-League can be considered, depending on the night.
The team has an option for thousands of EUR 3.7 million, which is not bad for a player 13 points per game on average.

More importantly, Utah two options in the lottery 12 (less than a miracle of the lottery). For this reason, Utah is not for long. In fact, if intelligent design, probably end their playoff drought in one season.

Here is a list of what would the board of the Utah project, look to the draft day. Selections in Utah will both be in the top 12 and have no other choice, there is no reason more than 12 players on the board to have.

Note: I'm Jared Sullings his word that he is back at Ohio State. Even if he decided to enter the draft, it does not really influence does not meet the Jazz draft board and is also a great player, the need for jazz. Utah has too many holes in the project to their needs and Sullings much larger on the boards of other teams, it would be Utah.

2011 Projet de Mock de la NBA: San Antonio Spurs Tompkins Trey Nab eneln 30

An attacker who can play anywhere on the floor, Thompkins has three points, is an excellent rebounder and a lot of block shots in the pros.

The footwork Thompkins 610 has a large in post and is very comfortable with his back to the basket. A soft hands and has a baby the deadly hook in the NBA.




Thompkins is very effective on the offensive glass, with its great length and soft hands and tip-ins. Can be absorbed either in the office and a fixed target. These are two qualities that translate well into the next level.

It may be limited to the sport, but in general, has the ability to a productive role in the NBA player.

NFL will Spieler an den Tisch

 President of the NFL's executive vice president and attorney Jeff Pash said the league, players will return to the negotiating table. But during his deaf?
There was little communication between the NFL and the players because they could reach a new collective agreement after 16 days of negotiations brokered by the federal government ended 11th March. The NFL Players Association as a union certification revoked, as he finished the mediation and the owners responded by announcing they were blocking the player.
The players responded with a lawsuit in federal court filing in Minnesota, the owners ask violated antitrust law by imposing a lockout. A hearing is for 6 April is planned to determine whether the player request a preliminary injunction granted, the blockade would end.
The legal maneuvering continued Monday with the presentation of the NFL a letter of 57 pages in the same court in Minnesota, defended the legality of the blockade, that the argument that the decertification of the players union is not legitimate. The termination of the latter is considered by the National Commission for Employment Relations. Player and now works as a professional association, the NFL refuses to acknowledge.
We do not accept the argument that the union's certification is revoked, Pash, said at a press conference at the Roosevelt Hotel, site of the encounter league spring. has taken place we do not believe it actually. We believe that NFL players tactics ITSA Association.Despite claims, Pash said the league is ready to resume talks if CBA players are ready. This can only be after 6 April hearing be held, but the league feels the two sides have problems, from meeting in a conference room and a courtroom can not be solved.
The most important thing is that our commitment to negotiate,  said Pash. We will not solve the problem in question. All this will do is delay the solution. I think we have real progress through mediation. Check back in this environment would be a way to build on this process.DeMaurice Smith, who served as CEO before NFLPAs certification revoked, a letter to the NFL said Monday the league NFLPA lawyers for the class of the song itself legally dissolved association can be considered one unit. But the negotiations, the NFL said it will negotiate with the Board of Trade Association Executive, if the negotiations the union and it's a player.
Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs player representative Mike Vrabel and others, recently said it wants to negotiate with counsel or outside Pash Bob Batterman NFL. Players prefer to meet directly with the owners such as Dallas, Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft New England and Carolina's Jerry Richardson.
I think the point is that Mike Vrabel made, but perhaps not very flattering right for me,  said Pash, who, some owners have been told in recent trading days. People who controls and people are cashing should be the same table.
Enables decision makers in the main table because together.The NFLS closure is the level of revenue goes to players.
The Associated Press reported on Monday that the players in all NFLS progressive increases in sales by the end of the contract was about 53 percent in 2006-09, based on calculations by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the company accountant who has examined the old CBA for the owners and the players union.
According to data compiled by PricewaterhouseCoopers for the year 2010 at the request of the NFLPA, the player received more than $ 3,800,000,000 in wages and benefits of 7.2 billion U.S. dollars additional revenue CC is 52.9 percent in the four years of the CBA, AP.
This information contradicts NFLS repeatedly claimed that 70 percent of additional revenue for the players went, not counting the U.S. $ 1,000,000,000 from the tip of the effort and the new stadiums added.
The concept is negotiated in the collective agreement, if the total income of the basis for the calculation of the salary cap, Pash said in response to the report. There is no difference between us and the players' union received 70 per cent since its entry into force of the agreement [2006].
If you want to change the denominator, you can percentage.The difference in how the owners and the players look at revenue is a key reason why both parties havent achieve in a position to reach agreement. By now you have players who do not believe the owners are honest about your financial situation to achieve, and the owner of the commitment of players for a fait accompli question.
Pash but believes that both sides a common ground in working to solve problems, to separate the address them.
In my case, it is a question of trust,  he said. It is a war, not a good side and the other is wrong. It is a moral. We have a business problem to be solved and will be back on the field.
I think the best days of the National Football League ahead. The reason why I think it's because the men who play the game an extraordinary group of people, and looking back I can not.

JJ Hickson knows that his future is on the wing: Cleveland Cavaliers executives

JJ Hickson has seen the tape, so he knows exactly what their height. It is not 7 feet or 6-11.
He is 6-9, and know not at this point in his NBA future, a center, but as a power forward. Many centers in the league are much larger and stronger than he is in constant competition in this position.
Thus, while Byron Scott, coach of the Cavaliers, the initiative 7-0 Ryan Hollins in the middle to start the last two games was more like the length of the rotation to add, but may Hickson recognized natural place in the input power return.
And while the game has Hickson in this position and, after this season, he realizes that he deems this appropriate. In his first game at the power consumption, Hickson scored 17 points and 17 rebounds against New Jersey on Wednesday.
We had to collide with our focus on concentration rebounds plates,  he said.
A lot of songs, which are for the four men on the scale,  said Hickson.  I must be a conscious effort for me to make the position of the basket.  Hickson said he learned much of what he knows about rebounds former teammate Ben Wallace, now with the Detroit Pistons. A 6-9, Wallace was also a sub-center, a dominant rebounder was his choice.
The most important thing I learned from Ben, as the position of my body, and knows it is a struggle for recovery of the feet,  said Hickson.  It's a mixture of technology and willingness to bring the ball is.  The fact Hickson so on collecting rebounds focus now, after starting the season with small sums, Scott is encouraging.
He came a long way in a short period,  said Scott.  By the time the friction top, now that hear everything I say.
He has matured a lot in less than a year, and I think it will continue  to grow Tait for return. Joe Tait, the Cavaliers will be the legendary radio station airwaves Sunday, when the Cavaliers lost host Atlanta Tait back out. the regular season after undergoing heart surgery and rehabilitation.

Paris NBA Preview: Dallas Mavericks at Timberwolves

 No Minnesota. The Timberwolves are pure evil Mr. Hyde C.
Minnesota has a record of 17-54 C second-worst in the NBA only to Cleveland in the game clock C 05.35 PT on Thursday against Dallas Mavericks.
The Timberwolves have one and one for him: Kevin Love. And he can not play.
Love had a streak of 53 consecutive double-double games earlier this season, the longest in the NBA from 1973 to 74 But love has aggravated a groin injury last Sunday against Sacramento last game in Minnesota. Love went early in the second quarter were closed with no points and three rebounds against the Kings to a 127-95 home loss embarrassing.
Timberwolves went to the second-worst home loss in franchise history. Sacraments was the eighth victory in 33 road games away from home. Minnesota was the darling of 4? Points with the combination of 222 crossing points total of 214? Points.
Oh yes, played by Michael Beasley 14 minutes in the loss of a painful hip. Beasley is the only other decent player Timberwolves, as well as love.
Now, the Timberwolves, the 15 lost their last 19, with the way mark to Dallas 30.5. Minnesota has seven of its last eight road games lost 3-5 ATS.
An important question is probably a lame duck coach Kurt Rambis get sad sack Timberwolves focus on their last 11 games of the season against Dallas?
Certainly, the question will be if the astronomical oddsmaker finally take a better reading on the state to like a number. Love questionable call, for now, although there is no reason for the Timberwolves to their franchise player to it, if hes not 100 per cent risk.
The Mavericks lost the Lakers are the second best record in the Western Conference. Dallas, 49 to 21, has lost five of their last nine games.

Peja Stojakovic scored 17 points for the Mavericks in the game for the first time in seven games after a stiff neck. The Mavericks won without third player and rebounder Shawn Marion advanced with a sprained right wrist. Marion hopes to play against Minnesota.
The Mavericks can be opened to allow the Timberwolves to get a backdoor cover, a tour through six games after starting the confrontation. This means that the Dallas coach Rick Carlisle, would give extra rest to some of his veterans Jason Kidd and Nowitzki Mavericks when they built a big lead.
Dallas has won 25 of 36 games at home, but it's a bit impressive 16-18-2 ATS at the American Airlines Center. The Mavericks have a much bigger team better on the road going 21-13 ATS.
The top Mavericks as favorites of 10 points when the Timberwolves hosted first December win, 100-86. The combination of 186 points was the total of 205? Points. Marion scored 16 points and eight rebounds. Tyson Chandler grabbed 18 rebounds.
The teams met again on 7 March and the Mavericks only nibbled the Timberwolves, 108-105, not all tracks 6 favorite? Points. The combination of 213 points was 210 points.
Love had 23 points and 17 rebounds in defeat. Beasley had 20 points and nine rebounds.
Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 25 points. It was the moment that hit 20 in the last 22 games Dallas the Timberwolves. Minnesota, however, focused on eight of their last nine visits to Dallas.

Monte Poole: Don Nelson is a Hall of Fame, with all its faults

 Hall of Fame announces its Class of 2011 next week, and Don Nelson is not among them.
NBA coach of all time with more wins not even on the list of finalists from which the new members are elected.
At one point I realized this because I saw Nelson through the zoom lens itself, apparently by members of the Honorary Committee, the secret society that ultimately decides who is or is not fit to be used in space.
You can spend their warts.
And Nellie, he is vain exhibitionist dare not fail to reveal them.
Nelson, 70, has done it again this week, in the life  on Comcast SportsNet Cr贸nica''fijado Studios in San Francisco on Monday night and the dissemination of lies familiar enough seriousness behind his fa? ADE to remind all of which so few allies in basketball.
Note his coaching career 35 years during an hour-long interview with Greg Host Papa said, the coach of his ex-Warriors favorite player of all time, gave his side the devastating conflict with the young Chris Webber and provided an explanation for his dismissal from impertinent the Warriors last year.
He was fired,  he said, because he Andris Biedrins asked free throws underhanded.
Nellie went on their way, why has never won an NBA championship.
Did you know that he insan chance to win multiple titles Antonio denied? After the debacle of Webber in 1994, Nelson had his time in Oakland was short, the Spurs General Manager Gregg Popovich - a former assistant coach Nelson - his former boss offered the coaching position.
Nelson wanted to, but Warriors owner Chris Cohan clung to his contract. I asked Chris Webber and hold to let me go,''said Nelson.  I said Webber, the player get a new coach, and set me free. I said I got the job. And (he) does not. Therefore remains the coach Popovich, with four titles. I could be Tim Duncan.''We have known Nelson had another chance to win t铆tulos''en Boston? He has trained youth of Milwaukee Bucks and the Celtics were in 1983 playoffs, this led to a recruitment effort by Boston Red Manager swept Auerbach.
After the last game, so that the dressing room, I saw Red Auerbach,''Nelson recalled.  he said, would  If you're interested, coach of the Celtics and I said, 'Red (Bucks owner) Jim Fitzgerald has done much not be able to finish my career for me as a person, I will.  Bad decision for me . With Larry Bird on and win four more.''Short of achieving the best chance of Nelson as a coach full potential of their loyalty towards a boss have sabotaged and betrayed by the obstinacy of the other.
By the way, beat Kelly, became the coach of the Knicks in 1995, that Backstabbed from his office after a private meeting star center Patrick Ewing noted that Nelson to go to a free agent named Neal Shaquille O 'Host wanted.
These effects are subtle, unless you know how Nellie's spirit, there is a point that everything he said.
His problem with respect to his candidacy Hall of Fame is that many - including the Committee commends the Council Chamber - know how their minds work.
Said Nelson, who was a finalist in the past, not the final tests of the Group required Nellie said, some people in the voting. As a sign of evidence. And sympathetic. And proof of compliance.
I see. Nelson is selfish and evil, ruthless in his pursuit of what happens Your goal in this moment.
His statistical performance can be described as the product of the resistance, but began training at 36 and bounced until it almost 70 years. He has an insatiable appetite for intrigue, play mind games with players and coaches and owners and friends, including appeals. He established a model to put your ego and personal desires - usually financial and authoritarian - in the face of the franchise that will be used.
has charges against the owner, a feud with the players and bridges built by other incinerators Nellie ammunition for those who want to keep it out of the room want to provide. I once bought into this line of thinking.
I was wrong. Nelson is a hotel for several reasons, is the first to win more games (1335) at the highest level of basketball that someone developed a game on a clipboard or a table or on the dry side of a paper towel.
His character warts are visible, especially if you know your history. But they are not relevant to their title. And do not deny due course.

49ers, Raiders coach tackle NFL scouting combine

INDIANAPOLIS -- The last time Hue Jackson and Jim Harbaugh were linked was Jan. 5 and 6, when they were interviewed on back-to-back days as coaching candidates for the 49ers.
Thursday on Day 1 of the NFL scouting combine, they took the podium in that order at Lucas Oil Field as rookie head coaches -- Jackson with the Raiders, Harbaugh with the 49ers.
Both men find their new surroundings daunting and challenging.
Jackson espoused Oakland tradition and the honor of working for managing general partner Al Davis. Harbaugh talked about the legacy of Bill Walsh and walking into the facility every day and looking directly at five Lombardi Trophies in a glass case.
On-field workouts have yet to begin, so both coaches have been involved in lining up a succession of 15-minute interviews in an attempt to glean some kind of vibe, positive or negative, that will aid the eventual process of player selection.
Jackson made it clear he wants guys who run fast. Harbaugh is hopeful he will have some inside information from his experience as a college recruiter.
The last time Harbaugh came to the combine was as a Raiders assistant under Bill Callahan in 2003.
"I was a quality-control coach doing a lot of quality-control jobs, inputting numbers," Harbaugh said. "I evaluated quarterbacks and things like that.
"Here, I'll be here for six days evaluating all positions and getting to ask questions and actually be around these youngsters,

getting knee-to-knee and eyeball-to-eyeball with them, letting them get to know me and me getting to know them."
If Jackson is stressed out about labor uncertainty and being a head coach for the first time, he hid it well as he enthusiastically put forth his agenda in three interviews plus a Sirius radio session with former Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon.
"Everything is going to take care of itself," Jackson said. "If we don't have an offseason (workout) program, it means there's 31 other teams that don't have an offseason program. We won't be in a hole different than anyone else."
Specifics are kept to a minimum when discussing draft strategies and philosophies, but Jackson unabashedly clings to the Raider way of speed above all else.
"You look at it because that's what's important in this game," Jackson said. "You've got to have guys that run fast or you can't score touchdowns and you can't catch people."
According to a recent story in the National Football Post, there have been nine players at the combine since 1999 who have timed under 4.3 seconds for the 40-yard dash. Four of them -- cornerbacks Fabian Washington (4.25) and Stanford Routt (4.28) and wide receivers Darrius Heyward-Bey (4.25) and Jacoby Ford (4.28) -- were drafted by the Raiders. No other team picked more than one sub-4.3 player during that span.
Ford, who as a rookie scored seven touchdowns last season, including three on kickoff returns, wasn't selected merely on the basis of his blazing time in the 40, Jackson said.
"There's still more information to gather," Jackson said. "This is an ongoing process. You go watch more tape, then see them individually and work them out, and then the next thing you know you draft them and then start the next process."
If Harbaugh has an advantage, it lies in his knowledge gained as a recruiter at Stanford, insight 49ers general manager Trent Baalke believes can be advantageous.
It's the same thing Davis said in 2007 when hiring Lane Kiffin, who was formerly a recruiting coordinator at USC. It never was clear how much influence Kiffin had, but it isn't likely to approach what Harbaugh wields with the 49ers.
"I don't know if it's an advantage at all, or how much of an advantage it is," Harbaugh said. "But coming from college, I have a fresh understanding of what they've been through the last three, four, five years. Where they were three, four or five years before that. The things they've accomplished and things they've overcome. Some of the tricks they play and some of the wool they try to pull over your eyes.
"Everybody that's here is good. Now you try to find better and best as you go through the process."
