As most of you know, I co-host a daily NBA podcast at The Basketball Jones.
This season, for reasons unknown, Tas, JD and I have decided to try our
luck with video. I figured I might as well share it here with you. As
always, questions, comments and feedback are appreciated. Hit us up.

The BDL NBA Power Rankings combine two parts Dewar’s 12 with one
part flippant observation to create the most unbalanced ranking possible,
and to offer the least accurate look at the state of the NBA on a
weekly basis. If you disagree with your team’s spot, feel free to go
crazy in the comments or spit venom via email.

On today’s dramatic episode of The Steph and the Restless, Knicks DNP-CD’er Stephon Marbury throws verbal shots at his soon to be ex-teammates, particularly Q-Rich. From the New York Post:

New
Orleans at Portland
New Orleans
is on the road, playing the second night of a back to back. And, to be honest,
they looked a little sluggish at times in Thursday’s win over the Nuggets.
Portland, meanwhile, has gone
6-0 at home this season, compared to 10-6 overall, and this team’s depth seems

What do I have to be thankful for this weekend? There’s an awful lot. The basics include my health, family, friends and love. Beyond that, I’ve got a nice little apartment, quite possibly the greatest job in the world, League Pass, The Jones, cool bosses and co-bloggers, the list could go on and on. But […]

A look around the league and the web that covers it. It’s also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren’t always listed in order of importance. That’s for you, dear reader, to figure out.
