[Insert clever link title here]

We're taking submissions for an appropriate title for this segment.  Unfortunately, "Bullets" is already patented.

Not much out there today, as there often is during September.  As always, drop a relevant link in the comments if you see it.


  • The must-read link of the day is Tim Warren's extensive profile of Darius Songaila in today's Post.  He delves deeply into the injury issue, which looks to not be a problem thus far, but also analyzes Songaila's offensive ability.
    Songaila is scoring here mostly on isolation plays in the low post, where he often beats defenders with excellent footwork, or on off-the-ball movement when Jasikevicius is at the point.

    Well, that just about covers everything, now does it?  Still, it's exciting to see Songaila beating players in the post down low, which is something this team has lacked offensively.  There's nothing about his defense, but it looks like he'll be much better this year.

  • Man, I miss working on this show.
  • Gilbert Arenas 1, Richard Jefferson 0. [Via Gilbertology]
  • In an attempt to fill the void left by the Kurt Thomas trade, the Suns worked out several big men, including Michael Ruffin.  Ha!
  • Some Spanish article quotes the general manager for FC Barcelona criticizing Juan Carlos Navarro for accepting the one-year contract with Memphis.  Translation needed.
  • More stat talk: Ziller lays the smackdown on anyone who questions the importance of PER.  Well, not really, but he reminds us that, in most cases, a players' PER actually increases when they get more minutes.  Please read.

If you're Jewish like me, have a happy new year.  I'll be back later for an actual post.  Promise.

A few ideas
  • Hollow Points - It's like bullets, but different.
  • News Alligators - I think Ziller once said that as a blogger one of his roles is to be a news alligator for his readers.  Or maybe it was news aggregator, I'm never quite sure.
  • Making the rounds - Convenient way to make a subtle dig at Kevin Duckworth.
  • No your links - Subtle dig at Ledell Eackles, and by subtle I mean blatantly obvious.
  • Abbotts or True Hoops- If he can take our name, we can take his.
  • Quality shots - Self explanitory.

Andohbytheway
I'm pretty sure it's a good thing you got out of the show when you did, otherwise they would've just made you do the bobblehead dance beside them.

Excellent list
I'm inclined toward No Your Links or Abotts, but SierraDave may have a point.  An issue the entire Internet can puzzle over.

Done
Vote vote vote.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.

I think Jake's onto something
So far "Quality Shots" is way in the lead.

I'm conflicted
Quality Shots is perfect.  But "No your links" might never stop being funny.  I smell a new poll question... Let the masses decide?

There's also another option
Prada could take the winner for his links and I'd take the runner up for my more random, less often occuring round-up so people would know who is who.
