This is what happens when an otherwise personality-less P.A. announcer tries to show a bit of personality. The Miami Heat have now formally apologized for "extinguishing" Amar'e Stoudamire after his sixth foul last night. More »

Last night, we showed you how the Heat's PA guy made a corny reference to Stoudemire being "extinguished from the game" when he fouled out. But this video shows you what happens at the end of that clip, when Amar'e decides to lend a helping hand before he doesn't. More »

We all knew Amar'e Stoudemire's hand must've been messed up when we saw him walking out of Miami, arm in sling and slated for surgery the next day. Today, he tweeted out some visual evidence of what it looks like one punches a metal fire extinguisher case and the case wins. More »

The ingredients were all there for wild and frothing beakers to report on the Knicks game last night: A Friday night. A terrible opponent. One superstar is introduced to an otherwise stable (for the Knicks, anyway) environment, with basically nothing at stake. And, of course, weeks worth of wondering aloud if such an outcome would occur. The tabs brought their own dry ice and water to this class. More »

The guy from Spurs blog Pounding The Rock had it exactly right this morning: The worst part about Amare Stoudemire's (and Boris Diaw's) suspension tonight is that it immediately makes the whole game illegitimate. If the Spurs win, it won't feel like they earned it, and they've instantly become the bad guys. The only way anyone takes any real joy out of tonight's game is if the Suns win, and that's not particularly fair to the Spurs, who, other than Bruce Bowen, are not inherently unlikable. More »

Well, the suspensions from the Suns-Spurs Game 4 finally came down last night, and one thing was assured: Nobody, probably not even the Spurs, is happy about it. Robert Horry, Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw will all miss tonight's Game 5, which means that the Suns will be at a clear disadvantage because Bob Horry body-checked Steve Nash. As fans, we all lose, because we miss watching Stoudemire in a pivotal game, and Suns fans, well, they're losing their minds. Here's a wrapup of various views on the suspension from around this here Internets. More »

We're at the start of the NBA season, with all its drama storylines and sturm und drang and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tale in the shadow of Jordan; who is the real alpha dog? It's this source of expression and personal comedy/tragedy that makes the game so compelling. There's no where to hide out there. More »
