  1. Just saw clip of Belgium's Eden Hazard, maybe hottest transfer property in world soccer, wearing Miami Heat hat. Just like @JozyAltidore
  2. Aforementioned stat on Bobcats' losses, as noted by my friends at @ESPNStatsInfo, does not include Wednesday night's lottery heartbreak
  3. Spurs take first L since April 11. In same span: OKC has six Ls, Miami seven and Boston 10. Bobcats, who last played April 26, also have 10
  4. Thabo Sefolosha joins LeBron, Rondo and KG as only players in last five years to have 19 points, six boards and six steals in a playoff game
  5. RT @ESPNAndyKatz: Draft darling Anthony Davis stays humble before lottery (plus video) from Lexington: espn.go.com/nba/draft2012/…
  6. KG is enraged by the Spurs' showboating right now
  7. Thunder have nothing inside to get Diaw off the floor. So Spurs have three playmakers in w/TP and TD. Four when Manu checks in. #goodnight
  8. Help, Twitter: Help me remember Duncan's three best dunks ... cause gut feel says throwing down a sidewinder over Ibaka at 36 is up there
  9. These Spurs don't D up, right? They're 9-0 this postseason and held opposition below 100 points every time. Which Elias says is an NBA first
  10. Clips just announced that Vinny Del Negro will be back next season as coach at Donald Sterling picks up VDN's 2012-13 option
  11. RT @StratOMatic: @ESPNSteinLine What do you and @johnhollinger think about another Opening Night Sim next season?! (WE WILL SURELY DISCUSS)
  12. RT @ZachLowe_SI: San Antonio was 12-9 after losing in Dallas in January, when Pop let bench guys play entire 4th/OT. They're 47-7 since
  13. Think @manuginobili now trumps Thabo Sefolosha on list of @johnhollinger faves after Manu schooled media TUES on "regression to the mean"
  14. RT @StratOMatic: Strat-O Realism strikes again! NBA conference finals teams match those predicted in our Sim Season: basketballprospectus.com/article.php?ar…
  15. About last nite: When he wasn't begging for NASTY, Pop played Manu w/Timmy & Tony more than any other game all season - es.pn/MU1Qeb
  16. When he wasn't begging for NASTY, Pop played Manu with Timmy & Tony more than any other game all season. Game 1 column: es.pn/MU1Qeb
  17. Durant/Westbrook/Harden shoot 10 of 31, Thabo/Collison/Fish can't miss, Spurs have 14 turnovers, OKC up 47-46 at half. Like we all thought
  18. Congrats to Doug Collins & ESPNDallas ed @BarryVigoda for taking/willing Philly farther than anyone who saw 'em in April thought feasible
  19. An NBA trade in May? Sources say Warriors working on one now w/Utah to ensure they keep 2012 lottery pick. Link: es.pn/KiQelD
  20. RT @ESPNDallas: Rangers mid @MauriceEdu, ESPN's @RaeComm and lots of USA-Scotland talk on @ESPNSoccerToday PODCAST - bit.ly/KPkjXF
