You would never know it by the trash that they talk, but the Denver Nuggets organization hasn’t won a playoff series since Mutombo was on the ground squeezing the basketball.. Losing the first two games of the series, ……

and I like how that quote is synonymous to the Indiana Pacers organization as well. Except for Ike Diogu, ’cause he’s a good kid. And Mike Dunleavy Jr, because he transcends any stereotype whatsoever.

Yeah, and what happened to Carmelo’s DUI anyway? Does no one care about the law?

Remember somewhat major recent events such as Carmelo’s DUI? LeBrons wreckless driving? The late Eddie Griffin’s death? Melo and Bron were handled ‘internally’ (feel free to crack a joke; pun intended), so the league is getting better at putting things under the carpet.

By the way, I JUST saw JHo’s mug in that picture. I almost died.

So while the Mavs may choose to stonewall the press on this matter, I’m sure the last thing Cuban, Avery, Josh–or even Josh’s teammates–will want to address in press conferences is J-Ho’s ganga habits. And that’s why it was such a poor thing to bring up at this time of year.

Interesting interview awhile back with JHo. Still think his ignance (perhaps candidness) is cause for concern for the league, but at least this kid is consistently down to earth. Reading this article, I doubt he’ll get into too much trouble from the team itself, because they likely know about it. But I doubt he’ll be in commercials anytime soon.

mW, the team said they would handle the situation internally, so it’s not likely we’ll hear from this much outside an apology. Which is a bummer, because I wanted to expand my repertoire for ignant quotes such as, ‘we talkin bout PRACTICE’.

On the bright side, Commissioner Stern might just order his refs to make sure the Mavs lose now, so that this story doesn’t carry on to the next round, where, who knows, Howard might feel the need to re-clarify his position–or Cuban or Avery might be forced to follow up on it.
