Player Review: Brandan Wright

Mavs Moneyball — In September, Mavs Moneyball previewed the upcoming season for Brandan Wright, the athletic, fan-favorite who had electrified Mavs fans with spectacular plays, and helped create indelible moments during the team's lowest points(as an aside, I didn't realize how many alley oops Wright had with Jason Terry).

Wright entered the NBA with elite measurables and athletic abili...

Notebook: Jason Terry talks up return

Boston HeraldJason Terry freely admits that his first season as a Celtic was a disappointment.With two years left on his contract, Terry’s goal for next season is simple.“I have to get back to Sixth Man of the Year form,” said Terry, who won that NBA honor for the 2008-09 season while with the Dallas Mavericks. “That’s going to be my role. I started out starting and went to the bench. I’ll take the summer to evaluate it, but going forward we have to define my role and make sure it’s the right thing.”

Knicks Blog | New York Post — Following the lead of Kenyon Martin, several of the Knicks players had black jackets and black slacks hanging in their lockers before tonight’s potential Game 5 closeout game vs. the Celtics.
