Where the injury bugs bite…

Nowitzki Suspends, Mavs Still Win

Well, David Stern decided to suspend Dirk the Jerk for his hit on No Knees in the Jazz/Mavs game. Which I think is a really stupid call… it wasn’t an intentional hit or anything. And, in some great planning, it wasn’t announced until just a bit before the Mavs game today.

Lucky for the Mavs, it didn’t seem to have much of an impact, as they rolled over the Clippers (in LA), 98-76.

Flagrant-2? Fine, I guess that’s the rule for hitting with a fist. But a suspension for that? There have been many things worse that haven’t resulted in suspensions.

It’s All Over In Seattle

It’s all over… the Sonics will be moving to Oklahoma City… albeit without the name & colors. The city & the OKC side agreed to a settlement… one that hasn’t exactly gone over well with Sonics fans. Can’t help but feel for the fans there…

Yet again, David Stern & the NBA blow it. Surprise surprise.
