No Brooklyn Nets on All-NBA; Brook Lopez Dissed

NetsDaily — Close but no cigar. Brook Lopez finished just out of the running for the All-NBA team in results issued Thursday. Lopez finished behind Tim Duncan, Marc Gasol and Dwight Howard in the voting for center, despite receiving seven first team votes and 132 votes, more than two members of the third team and equal to Blake Griffin on the second team. But in balloting for the 5 spot, Lopez was far behind Duncan, Gasol and Howard. Howard, whose season with the Lakers was filled with controversy and underachievement, finished with 203 votes. Gasol had 295 and Duncan, who played a lot of minute...

Nikola Mirotic wins ACB League MVP

Blog a Bull — The legend of Nikola Mirotic continues to grow by the day. The Bulls' draftee was named ACB League MVP after leading Real Madrid to the best record in the league. And if you want some crazy Bulls parallels, Mirotic, 22, became the youngest MVP in league history. Sound familiar? Prior to this, the youngest MVP in ACB history had been Marc Gasol, so that's pretty good company. Mirotic averaged 12.6 points and 5.5 rebounds on the year as Real Madrid racked up a 30-4 record, winning the league by four games. He shot 50.5 percent overall and 43.5 percent from three while shooting 80.7 perce...

Gumming up the works with Marc Gasol

Courtside | San Antonio Express-News — In years past, Memphis center Marc Gasol likely never would have been even considered for, let alone won, the Defensive Player of the Year award. He is neither muscle-bound nor noticeably athletic. He doesn’t block shots (1.7 per game) or rebound (7.8 per game) at particularly impressive rates. And yet, with the advent of advanced [...]

NBA Playoffs: The Curious Case of the Memphis Grizzlies, and what they could mean for Cavs

Fear The Sword — The Memphis Grizzlies, for years one of the most depressing franchises in professional sports, are now one series victory away from the NBA Finals. They play in a tiny market. They don't have a conventional superstar, though try and tell me Marc Gasol isn't one. They have made controversial moves. They have moves that have gotten them absolutely killed by the media. They have made moves that should have been crippling to their franchise. But again, they stand four wins away from winning a brutal conference. How did this happen, and what does it mean? They have simply been lucky There ...

Joakim Noah named to NBA All-Defensive First Team

Blog a Bull — After finishing fourth in Defensive Player of the Year voting, Joakim Noah was named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team on Monday. Noah and Tyson Chandler both made it onto the First Team at the center position by virtue of a tie. This could be characterized as somewhat of a surprise considering the fact that Marc Gasol earned Defensive Player of the Year honors. But there are different voters for that award (media) and the All-Defensive Teams (coaches), which help explains why something like this happens. Gasol was named to the All-Defensive Second Team. Rounding out the First Team w...
