Kevin Love gave Luis Scola a facial—and not the kind his porn-star epithet might suggest—that somehow eluded detection by referees. The league office, though, might not be so nearsighted. [FS Houston] More »

NBA.com released its annual GM survey, and there's a cornucopia of fun little items, like the fact that nobody would want to build a franchise around Kobe, but they want him taking the last shot. Tucked in at the bottom is one vaguely worded question: "Which player does the most with the least?" The answer seems to depend on pigmentation. More »

Or, rather, Kevin Love loves NAFTA. According to Darren Rovell, Love has signed an endorsement deal with the Jose Cuervo tequileria and hopes to qualify for the Jose Cuervo Pro Beach Volleyball Series during the NBA lockout. Love was in Times Square today on a makeshift sand court trying out for the Manhattan Beach Open on August 26. No word yet about his performance, but we like his chances. He's very tall, and his uncle, Mike Love, is the lead singer for the Beach Boys. More »

After 15 seasons running the Timberwolves, Kevin McHale's services will no longer be needed. (According only to Kevin Love's Twitter? Jeebus.) Man, just eight or nine more years and I think he would have had it. [Pioneer Press; SportsBank] More »
