C-a-C: ‘I mean, I can totally call around — really, I’d be happy to’

"No, you understand what, Pau? Don't even bother. If it didn't matter sufficient to you to produce a brand new Year's Eve reservation before now, I don't want you to pretend that it matters to you now. It's fine. I'm fine. It is. Fine."
Oof. Tough break, Pau Gasol.
I get it, although; the holidays are stressful as heck! You spend so significantly time attempting to wrap up operate before the holiday break, running about obtaining presents and making sure you remembered to get the proper egg nog - no, not that one, the OTHER one - that New Year's plans just slip your mind. Kobe Bryant gets that. Genuinely, he does.
It's just that ... it slips your mind every year, you understand? It'd just be nice should you remembered. That's all Kobe's saying. Give him somewhat space, take him to that tapas location he loves, and everything'll be fine. And subsequent year - seriously - put a reminder within your Outlook calendar or some thing.
Best caption wins delicious tapas, just in time for lunch. Superior luck.
In our last adventure: DeMar DeRozan and Ed Davis crawl around on the ground or something? Boy, the world as it existed before I began writing 2011-12 Season Previews stuff seems like a strange, scary place.
C-a-C: ‘I mean, I can entirely call about - seriously, I’d be content to’Winner, JD: DeMar and Ed are forced to result to desperate measures just after attempting to acquire back into the U.S. legally, only to have their entrance vetoed by David Stern.
Runner-up, Rodzor: "Simon says jump up and down ..."
"Simon says stick out your tongue ..."
"Lie on the floor ... GOT YA!"
Second runner-up, Boxster: "See, Eddie? Undertaking a pushup is virtually impossible right after only playing Xbox B-ball all year."
Oof. Tough break, Pau Gasol.

Deron Williams already desires much more players for the Nets
The New Jersey Nets are in a tight spot this season. Just after trading for star point guard and free-agent-to-be Deron Williams at final year's deadline, they now have this season to convince him that he should really join them in their move to Brooklyn. Unfortunately for them, Brook Lopez, their second-best player and very best trade asset, sustained a tension fracture in his foot last week and figures to miss a very good deal of team. It is going to become difficult for them to create a massive move like acquiring Dwight Howard, and that implies Williams may possibly be on his way out this summer.
For now, though, he's a Net and wants to create the most of his experience. So, immediately after only two games, he's asking for help. From Benjamin Hoffman for The New York Times' Off the Dribble blog (via PBT):
"We will need some extra pieces," he said. "There's no secret about that. There is not lots of starters on our team correct now. We've a good deal of wonderful role players, a good deal of guys who know their job, but in this league you'll need some top-tier guys so it is possible to get the job carried out." [...]
"I like it," Williams stated of living in SoHo. "It's been an excellent knowledge for me and my household. We're undoubtedly enjoying the city life."
Williams discussed the team's move to Brooklyn, saying that he has not spent a great deal of time within the borough but that he has enjoyed his trips across the East River.
Having recently participated in a charity event in Brooklyn, Williams said, "We're attempting to definitely plant our feet in Brooklyn and get points started for our transition over there."
A cynic would claim that Williams is setting the stage for a departure -- possibly to his household state of Texas along with the Mavericks -- in July, but his statements about New York life and also the inroads the team's generating in Brooklyn seem sincere. The Nets stay an solution.
But it's also easy to determine how they'll recede into the background if the negative times continue. Williams is at a point in his career when he desires to win, and if the Nets don't prove they are heading in that direction a team like the Mavericks possibly stands as a safer bet. He could like living in New York, but he also took to his knowledge in Turkey through the lockout. Chances are that Deron can get pleasure from himself irrespective of where he ends up.
You will discover positives to become taken from his comments if you are a Nets fan, but not quite a few. There is no poor blood. It's just that every thing he does now feels like a step closer to seeking elsewhere in free agency.

Your sweater-filled 2011-12 Miami Heat introduction video
This year, the Heat put out a new introduction video, this time ditching the Phil Collins for the considerably cooler, modern, and bombastic "All from the Lights" by Kanye West and roughly 47 different featured performers. The Heat are still wearing their sweaters, and Eddy Curry is now involved to create it a bit ridiculous, however the clip generally comes across as significantly looser. Miami looks like fun, not various third cousins of the Bateman household.
At the same time, it also doubles down on the brand. Whether consciously or not, the Heat nonetheless look like villains in an '80s ski film. But if that's what they're going for, it is somehow alright. Villains is usually endearing when they are self-aware.
