Hooped Up

First off I feel it’s my civic duty to say, gross! Now that I got that off my chest / keyboard. The Mavericks could be without the services of Dirk Nowitzki, after he lacerated his elbow colliding with Carl Landry’s mouth, leaving pieces of Landry’s broken teeth lodged into his arm. Like I said, gross!

This all when down in the 2nd quarter of the Rockets vs. Mavs game and according to the Houston Chronicle, it took 30 minutes to remove shards of Landry’s teeth from Nowitzki’s elbow. Both players ended up in the ER and did not return to the game. Houston won 116-108 in OT.

Nowitzki and Landry are listed as day-to-day and I just threw up in my mouth a little bit right now.

GQ‘ed up Derrick Rose and Kevin Garnett, give you a free lesson in style with help from some ill graphics! My experience has been that you can never have enough pairs of Adidas.

The only thing missing on this Amar’e Stoudemire atom smasher dunk, was a primal roar at the end. Me likey!

76ers guard Allen Iverson will miss tonight’s game against the Celtics and will not travel with the team to Boston, after an MRI exam yesterday revealed arthritis in his left knee and a contusion on his left shoulder.

Meanwhile, point guard Lou Williams practiced with the team at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, one day after having wires removed from a broken jaw that has caused him to miss three weeks.

Coach Eddie Jordan said there was a “slight chance” Williams could return tomorrow at home against the Clippers, though he will sit out tonight’s game along with Iverson, who may return tomorrow, too.

Dwyane Wade rejected J.J Redick like a record executive with Redick’s demo tape on his desk in the battle of Florida and ole J.J. might want to invest in some jump soles like Jimmy, because D-Wade felt that weak stuff coming in the air of night.

“I felt it coming,” Wade said. “If he was guy who could dunk the ball it would be a little different, but I knew he was going to lay it in and it made it a little easier to time it.”

Oh, J.J. bless your vertically challenged and offensively predictable soul.

The injury-plagued Portland Trail Blazers received a boost from an unlikely source: third string point guard Jerryd Bayless. Bayless had a career-high 29 points and hit three free throws in the final 9 seconds, and the Trail Blazers overcame a 15-point third-quarter deficit to beat the Phoenix Suns 105-102 on Thursday night.

“He’s getting the opportunity to play and making the most of it,” Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. “We know JB can put points on the board. With all the guys that we have out, we need him.”

Brandon Roy added 27 points and eight rebounds for the Blazers, who have won two in a row after dropping six of eight.LaMarcus Aldridge and Martell Webster each had 15 points and seven rebounds.

Earlier this year, Dwyane Wade debuted his trademarked athletic nutty professor look and thanks to his T-Mobile myTouch 3G.

D-Wade can now use / blame technology to maintain his daring fashion choices, but Charles Barley doesn’t mind offering Wade fashion advice still and that’s a good thing because Chuck’s data rates are much cheaper than T-Mobile.
