Tim Hardaway's Deeper Hole
OK, so here's what we want to happen today: Every half hour, we want someone to call Tim Hardaway to ask him about his comments about hating gay people.

Hey, The Heat Are Over At .500. Wake Riley.
Dan LeBatard, handsome as ever, brings up what everyone's thinking: Pat Riley's kind of a dick when it comes to abandoning his team when times are tough.

So the Celtics have lost 18 in a row, and if they don't sneak out a win at home Wednesday against the Bucks, a West Coast road trip might very well inspire them to break the record for all-time losing streaks. We thought we'd check in and see how the Celtics blogs are holding up....

Tim Duncan is Not Tall Enough
Dwight Howard is getting all the credit for this, and sure ... Dwight Howard's freakish abilities speak for themselves. But how about that lob from Hedo Turkoglu?
