  1. Experts in the TrueHoop Stat Geek Smackdown make WCF picks. And they ALL pick Spurs: espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2…
  2. NBA Today with @JalenRose and Luc Richard @MbahaMoute. Rose with a big anecdote on why 2007 Suns lost to Spurs espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/…
  3. Finishing #NBARank business with an apology to Lavoy Allen, who we incorrectly called the 500th best player. espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/…
  4. Owning a team is sometimes about creating the ultimate fan experience ... for yourself espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/…
  5. 2012 TrueHoop Stat Geek Smackdown, where picking LA in 7, instead of 5, against Denver has made the difference: espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/…
  6. Gotye, meet Kobe. Kobe, Gotye. espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/… (Hat tip to @BeckleyMason)
  7. @TimmyBias11 Rank your top ten please.
  8. Pau, Nash, KG, Tim D., Deron, Harden, Deng, Hibbert, Ginobili, Granger, Millsap, Ibaka all got fewer All-NBA votes than Al Jefferson.
  9. @RunawaySports Yup. It is not a rational pick. I'm betting on youth, speed, athleticism and the like. On paper, Spurs are way better.
  10. Nobody hates flopping like Red Auerbach hated flopping: espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/… #HoopIdea #StopTheFlop
  11. Boston down to one timeout with 48.1 left to play. That's going to hurt.
  12. Kevin Garnett and Brandon Bass a combined 7 of 26 from the field. That has something to do with Celtics' measly 8 total assists.
  13. Marc Stein on the idea of Doc Rivers getting a job with the Magic: espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/…
  14. Also at Sixers vs. Celtics: David Stern, Julius Erving and thousands of people chanting "Boston sucks."
  15. At Sixers game with big smiles and a gargantuan entourage: Allen Iverson.
  16. Time to change how the NBA's toughest calls are made, including and especially flagrant fouls. espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/… #HoopIdea
